I think 9/11 would be seen as less of a punchline if the grief surrounding it hadn’t been so obviously exploited to get white america to trust the us military more than any arab-american stranger as it sent our country into debt over a war fought under false pretenses but. hey what do i know

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

chat is that bad

anthropology is just jazz psychology

Columbia set off the wave of Free Palestine protests on campuses last year.

By attempting to illegally defund the university & deport an organizer the Trump Admin is sending a clear message to schools & students that protest (of any kind) will not be tolerated.

Support the fight back, for example:

Highly detailed illustrated patterns are going to become more prominent as a way to prove authenticity against ai which can’t reproduce a paisley pattern in the slightest

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty." - Hannah Arendt

Scarcity isn’t real.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Can't believe this is real.

Asked a friend how it's going and they responded "bad but I'm used to it" devastating

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

Thank you youtube algorithm for bombarding me with 30 Rock compilations and reminding me of this joke in these trying times.

It was never believable that Musk or his lackeys were going to personally read and analyze several thousand emails. It's doubtful they'll even feed whatever they get to a machine. He's keeping federal employees on edge & creating thin justifications to do whatever he already wanted to do arbitrarily

cancelling a con appearance and plane tickets because a gyaos fighting gamera was sighted nearby, having to eat the cost and resulting in me not making rent yet again. my landlord refuses to salt the drive in retribution.

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society).

We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it.

This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.

vibe for the week

Deleted Elon musk tweet from February 2023 that reads “go eagles”

My top Super Bowl memory is when Musk tweeted “Go Eagles” in 2023 from the game and then deleted it after a similar tweet from Biden got more engagement. Then he flew to Twitter HQ and demanded his workers find out why his posts were doing poorly, starting a multi-day fact finding mission.

this is essentially, what's up
