BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

celebrating the birthday of a Jack Kirby creation without any Jewish or women creators involved in 2026 is getting to me
ngl personally disappointed that that ETERNALS anniversary issue is all male creators and I think Jack would be, too

PhD Candidate in computer science reporting in. AI has some limited uses but research papers showing LLMs' deep flaws has been published, it's more than a "narrative." Also AI is often an enabler of surveillance. And yet facial recognition systems still get things wrong...
Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

this is what I come back to as well

we wouldn't need all this EFFORT and HYPE and fucking DRAMA if this technology was even 25% as disruptive and innovative as claimed by its pitchman
I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

It's not just the St. Paul Doubletree.
The Intercontinental in downtown St Paul is also shutting for now.
According to the Pioneer Press, they're both operated by an indigenous tribe, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.

FYI, ICE has been arresting Native Americans.

not necessarily a comment on cory, but EFF is not our friend. just in recent years it advocated for cryptocurrency and to allow generative AI companies to steal anything you’ve every made or posted to train their models — the latter of which cory directed supported.

I just feel so insulted by Google now that Gemini has been launched in Gmail. Like what makes Google think I can't read and comprehend my own emails? That I can't write a response? This sort of thing doesn't save me time. It just pisses me off.

Being a trans woman is more than changing your name, taking hormones, and a new wardrobe. It's unlearning a lifetime of societal norms and relearning them in a different way. I think trans women who stay in trans dominated spaces have a harder time learning this.

Spotify is a shit music player app that steals money from musicians and the joy of listening to music from listeners and turns it into Murican military propaganda.

It's a better deal for everyone to quit.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

So many people seem to think that any new issue must be a distraction another existing issue that they already think is more important: Gaza, Ukraine, the Epstein files, the climate crisis, etc. etc. But, what if understood these as manifestations of the same basic, underlying problems? Crazy, huh?

Everyone else go about your business.

Ice agents: Hello. You're about to start feeling like god is punishing you; you should trust that instinct.
To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.

Next week is what will break you.
We've lead charmed weather lives so far in January.
Temperatures are +5F to +10F across MN so far this month. 🌡️
We're about to be reminded what persistent cold and occasional snow feels like. ❄️
MSP could bottom out -10 to -20 next Tue.

Readers ask, "aren't you afraid of speaking out against AI?"

Ask yourself if that is normal. That one should be concerned about permanent career damage for pointing out problems.

It's just software. I'll eat humble pie if I end up being wrong. But this language of "fear" is political, ideological.
When you hear "better than nothing," ask whose responsibility the "nothing" is, and whether the "better than nothing" solution simply lets them abdicate that responsibility & check the box.

AI is the ultimate "better than nothing" technology. Don't negate this argument — reject the whole framing.
The incredible value of "nothing"
"Better than nothing" rhetoric hides the opportunity costs behind the bare minimum. Reject this framing.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.
