It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Microsoft and Blackrock have "have largely given up on organic adoption [of AI] by consumers. They have moved on to a new dream of forced adoption mandated by government and managerial coercion."
Fascinating piece here on what Davos can teach us about the AI industry by @mattseybold.bsky.social
When our staff asked a @unioncabcoop.bsky.social driver-owner why he didn't work for Uber or Lyft, he responded,
"Because I grew up here & I’d rather work for a local company than line the pockets of some fat cats in Silicon Valley." ❤️🔥 #WorkerPower

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests
- nazgul bodycams
- morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring
- shelob will be the new point of contact
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
It can get lower!

Don't be ashamed if you get confused

They try to tell you where it all went wrong

Is it just me, or has the ask to re-review a paper become near automatic. I don’t remember it being this way 20 years ago. If major revisions are required, sure, send it back. But if the paper was near publishable on first submission, why send it back? Can’t the AE just look at the review responses?

Minneapolis unions call for General Strike on Jan 23rd against ICE
5 major unions have joined the call so far & the list is expected to grow.

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship.
We good with that, America?
I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.
This is where we gar in Minnesota.
I always have a little gar figurine in the vest pocket of my fleece, but was recently given a whistle (ICE alert) that now goes alongside the gar. 1/3
They swim like hell away from humans when they spot us. Sadly, I'd call that wisdom, even if a few of us are there to help them.
13.01.2026 19:18 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0More generally, jacking up either the supply of water or sediment seems to make avulsions speed up in the empirical data I'm examining. Wood supply is a more complicated story that I'm very shaky on, but seems more likely to have an inverse correlation with rate.
12.01.2026 20:58 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Well, that's more a product of me not specifying the response. Response here is the direction and magnitude of avulsion progression. Sediment supply very likely affects the rate of that progression, but doesn't seem to affect the direction/magnitude.
12.01.2026 20:54 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Slope advantage (relative slope) could be on that list, but it'd be waaaay down at the bottom, perhaps only relevant about 0.001% of the time. Practically negligible. So much for "water takes the steepest path". But, crucially, it never takes the much less steep path. Noodle on that one for minute!
