I'm sorry Jason. And glad for the 16 years you had together. Peace.

is probably the most evil tech company in the world, which, among other things, powers the ICE abductions of members of our communities. I can go on and on. I have zero good things to say about them. If I hated OpenAI more than Google, I hate Anthropic more than OpenAI.

I have nothing good to say about Anthropic just like I have nothing good to say about Muskrat during his spat with the orange man, or any of the orange man's associates when he turns on them. Anthropic knowingly partnered with the pentagon. Their other partner, Palantir,...

“the Department of *War* displayed a deep respect for safety” according to the guy who is being sued eleventy times because his product tells children to kill themselves

Hey class, today we will be listening to Merzbow. We don't need to talk, we can just be here together feeling the noise.

<uses class time to meditate on the ways that GenAI is being used to destroy things that matter, and the ways that engagements with art can improve the world>

The Republican party has embraced Nazism. But many on the left have embraced veganism. I have never felt more politically homeless.

The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal

Alison Knowles (1933–2025) Nicole Woods memorializes Fluxus pioneer Alison Knowles.

I am very pleased to welcome old friend and amazing musician Bhob Rainey to Ithaca in a couple weeks on March 1st
