instead of letting platforms "wrap" our data, what would it look like to be able to do that ourselves? to see where we've been over the course of a year, but for us...

Excellent 🧵 on eugenics history that emphasizes how it was a mainstream science for so long.

A number of our standard statistical tools we still use were developed by avowed eugenicists partly or wholly in service to their attempts to prove things like racial differences.

I fully support everyone's right to modify their own face.

Shoulder pads in the 80s were stupid, but this is like having shoulder pads injected into your face.

28 Years Later had a good throwaway bit.

We Will Rise Again edited by Karen Lord Annalee Newitz and Malka Older also some eyeball slippers.

Tuesday evening I went to a fantastic panel discussion at Booksmith celebrating the launch of We Will Rise Again. Forgot to take a photo. City Lights is doing a zoom event on Sunday the 11th, if you want to get re-energized:

some cis professor at my would-be alma mater hosted an interview with gay transmasculine activist & historian lou sullivan in 1988. he was grappling with his life and legacy in a way that must have seemed faintly ludicrous for him and the interviewer. he was my age

In the 90s millenials were taught the person on the other side of the computer could be a 40 year old which pre-teen you had no business talking to.

They need to remember they are now the 40 year old and the person on the other side could be a pre-teen they still have no business talking to.

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.

If “AI” did the thing, organizations would be bragging about the outcomes instead of jawing endlessly about the tools.

Fucking Ned.

This is whatever the opposite of sundowning is.

Mania and demanding a continuous supply of chicken hearts.

Naps all day. Committed to evening mayhem.

I hate pharmaceutical ads so much. Deeply. Should not be allowed.

Death by Lightning is good. Some history I didn’t know.

obviously, yes.

Always gives me a little jolt when I am reminded Oppenheimer's little brother Frank founded The Exploratorium.

our local family-run grocery store has responded to neighborhood trends by carrying more Korean and Indian products and it fucking rules.

They have a packaged rabokki that has introduced me to new ways a food can be spicy.

We're doing pretty OK with accommodating vision differences, so that's cool and maybe a decent model. There are many effective options for budget and preferences, minimal stigma (assholes gonna be assholes), and the only advantage to faking bad eyesight is maybe other people assume you're smart.

The problem to be solved is the system. How do we make the system want to be as generous as our hearts are? How do we make the system stop denying that there is enough to go around? How do we make them stop lying? No, not the people asking for accommodation — the liars are the systems _denying_ it.

It's very hard to understand that everyone should just be accommodated. There's enough to go around, truly. You've been sold a story that we're all scrabbling for some finite resource, and They are taking it from you, and the answer to that taking is systemic punishment, backed by systemic violence.

I once saw a human driver hit a cyclist because the driver was distracted by a Cruise commercial being filmed at the end of my block.

There are so few Waymos in so few areas I don't think it's a fair comparison.
