I didn’t post them but I loved them. ❤️

AI for social justice is impossible because of the supply chain required for AI.

This is the worst paragraph I have read in a while.

Gandhi, of manual spinning wheel fame, would absolutely reject the premise here. As for AI benefiting the marginalized, that’s just like saying that the real aim of big tech in the education realm is to “enhance student learning”, as if they actually care about students not profit profit profit.

Tech billionaires fly in for Delhi AI expo as Modi jostles to lead in south Google, Anthropic and OpenAI bosses to mingle with global south leaders wrestling for control over technology

“Summit observers talk of…an alternative “techno-Gandhism”, in which AI is used…to benefit marginalised people.”

Techno-Gandhism? Of all the boosterish tags, this has to be one of the worst & most dishonest. Given who’s running this, & who’s attending, how about fascist techno-Savarakarism?

Animals of ancient Egypt.

Old timey (Mughal) hookah and hookah stand.

MEOW.

It’s not fair that we have to make coffee before we’ve had our coffee.

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

I got 36. Idk if that’s good or bad but this was fun.

I saw about an hour of CNN today. You’d think Savannah Guthrie’s mom being kidnapped was the only thing that’s happening in the US if that was the only place you got your news. No ICE, no Epstein. Just an hour of whining about influencers and online crazies trying to solve the mystery.

Reuters: New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Also, ask a fucking follow-up question.

This is why people hate the Democrats. Obama straight up said “there are aliens” and then walked it back couched in lawyer language.

Not a meme but my great great uncle who rode Seabiscuit (not pictured) and came 2nd as a jockey in the Kentucky Derby!

Started out overcast but ended up being the perfect day to take a fancy boat to the south side, where we saw many cats out and about.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

I am up so early to get my mom from the airport that the bar by my house was still open.

I wish I could have understood them!

I went and saw this lovely little movie, Ciao UFO, today and then there was a surprise Q&A. Unfortunately, we didn’t cover conversations about aliens in my Cantonese class.

Hahahaha. It’s AAS. Thanks spellcheck
