‘We live in this paradox, and it has a deep contradiction. You’re creating big cities, creating great images for the young Arab people, creating an environment that they’d love to live in – but you don’t want to give them freedom.’ 
– #AhmedMansoor #UAE

The whole "it's here, accept it, it's already in your life, you can't stop it, it's happening & actually you being unable to remove it (bc we designed it like that) is proof you want ir" techbro chat is pure & utter rape script. Nothing but.

in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal
must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you

This is how enjambment can work in a poem. Bridge 77 on the Macclesfield Canal allows a horse to cross the canal without having to untie it from the canal boat.

Virginia Woolf Diary Tuesday 30 December What it wants is presumably unity; but it is I think rather good (I am talking to myself over the fire about The Waves). Suppose I could run all the scenes together more? - by rhythm, chiefly. So as to avoid those cuts; so as to make the blood run like a torrent from end to end - I dont want the waste that the breaks give; I want to avoid chapters; that indeed is my achievement, if any here: a saturated, unchopped, completeness; changes of scene, of mood, of person, done without spilling a drop. Now if it cd. be worked over with heat & currency thats all it wants. And I am getting my blood up. (temp. 99) But all the same I went to Lewes, & the Keynes's came to tea; & having got astride my saddle the whole world falls into shape; it is this writing that gives me my proportions.

my proportions

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.

Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

You should hate Nazis more than you love convenience.

So many folks bemoaning how powerless they are re: the rise of fascism are actively funding it via their use of Substack and AI, by refusing to wear an n95, by ignoring transphobia, &c.

You have power. You just prefer convenience and comfort.
