the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless β€” a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class β€” is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

9. If you use Al to write something for you, it is meaningless and we'd all be better off if you had never said anything in the first place.

This is the thing: Writing is meaning. The reason we write things is to express some sort of meaning, to pass along important information, to convey a human emotion or sensation. It doesn't matter whether the writing is grammatically correct, or vividly expressed. It matters that it came from you. That is the point of writing. If you ask a Chatbot to write something for you, you are being fundamentally unhuman and foundationally dishonest. I am not going to bend on this one. If it requires an Al bot for you to express something to me, you and I are probably not actually friends.

Gravestone inscribed: Alistair Stephen Fabian Mitchell. 13-6-1957, 10-2-2019. Barrister of the Middle Temple. My brain, socialist. My heart, anarchist. My eyes, pacifist. My blood, revolutionary. 

Around the edge, the legend: The only man in British legal history to be convicted of biting a policeman with someone else’s teeth.

This is the core problem with the Buttigieg "we have to find common ground" framing. The question isn't sports, it's whether trans people will be allowed to exist as trans in public. Everything elseβ€”politically and strategicallyβ€”is downstream from that.

yep.

if you want to support Mozarts, you should fund the arts. instead Musk worked to gut arts funding.

they don't care about art. they just want to pretend that they're mozart. that's all these kinds of statements mean.
