Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.

(sure, easier said than done, but i never said it was simple or easy)

no matter how much you grow and change, there will always be people in your life who see you the same as when they met you or similar.
you don't have to be that person even if they relate to you like that person. you just have to find ways to accept that and protect your peace.

On February 10, Canada suffered one of the worst mass shootings in its history when eight people were killed in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, including five students and a teacher at a secondary school. After the shooting, OpenAI reached out to authorities to provide information about the shooter’s use of ChatGPT and announced it had banned the shooter’s account months earlier. However, what OpenAI didn’t say, but the Wall Street Journal discovered, was that employees pushed for the company to reach out to Canadian authorities to alert them to what the person who would later take eight people’s lives was inputing to ChatGPT. The user was flagged through an automated system for suggesting scenarios to the chatbot involving gun violence. “Internally, about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on [the user’s] posts,” wrote the Journal. “Some employees interpreted [the user’s] writings as an indication of potential real-world violence.”

Altman’s comments were bad enough. But the following day to read about how OpenAI had neglected its duty when it banned a user in Canada who was using ChatGPT to play out gun violence scenarios put his comments in an even worse light.

Do you still hate shinji or have you forgiven yourself for being fourteen yet?

The call has been made! NYC Public Schools will have a full snow day tomorrow.

US Attacks in Venezuela and Greenland Lay Groundwork for Billionaire Fiefdoms Trump’s foreign interventions may pave the way for techno-fascist city-states to seize sovereignty.

Techno-fascist billionaires are angling to set up private cities in nations destabilized by U.S. intervention.

Also - a thing I’ve been thinking about is that the Trump admin people thought of Minnesota as a lot of very nice white people who by virtue of being nice were not strong which is part of right wing ideology now

Know a promising undergrad who wants more time before applying to grad school? Pitt has a funded postbac program for students from underrepresented groups.

This year, my lab will consider applications for solo supervision or to be co-supervised by @mehrgol.bsky.social!

So, I dropped this comment in passing in another thread, because I consider it kind of self evident, but a number of people raised very reasonable objections, and that's on me for being a bit loose with language.

So, let's talk about modularity and RPG design.

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one. Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

i missed it, but at 4S Honolulu, someone ran a workshop where folks crafted felt vaginas. my friend did her comps with a theatrical component. more STS + art plz

making and doing baby

live without security footage of things you can do nothing about in retrospect
your ring camera won't bring your stolen package back, no matter how many times you post to nextdoor

The alternative is "don't live in terror of nothing, you mark"

it's weird to see people complain about Bad Bunny's performance being in Spanish when there have been entire operas in Italian, German and French performed in the US and the top song of the last two years, K-Pop Demon Hunters' "Golden" has lyrics in Korean

pfft not to Canada to me specifically

btw thanks for the shout out in the show Benito

YouTube video by NFL Bad Bunny's Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show

i don't know enough japanese to know definitively what i'm singing when i sing along to all the songs in revolutionary girl utena, but they're bangers so i sing about the absolute destiny apocalypse just like i shake my ass to bad bunny

what the helly

I really can’t watch any of these ice flip videos without thinking about how a white man is being rewarded for accomplishing what a Black woman was punished for doing 30 years ago

Surya Bonaly was an incredible athlete and she was treated like shit for it

Not for nothing, these are the things that white supremely., capitalism, and the venture-capitalist industrial complex want to take from us.

Don’t let them. Take a humanities course. Support the arts. And if you’re a STEM person? Fight for your colleagues.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.
