I'm watching a lot of people say that Ross is going to get off free forever bc the feds won't prosecute and will stonewall the state, and I keep repeating to myself:
There is no statute of limitation for murder.
Let this hang over their heads in every moment:
Justice is a persistence predator.

Every time someone says "I can't write X, editors will never buy it" an angel loses its wings
Those shining adamantine feathers, sharper than death, slice all creatures in their path to molecule-thin ribbons, blood raining down onto acres of land rendered poisonous for decades.
So maybe reconsider

Not only does this intentionally violate the First Amendment to the US Constitution, it’s vile to watch mean-spirited, selfish ghouls who starve the poor and kidnap people for their skin color sanctimoniously pretending they follow any of the teachings of Jesus.

Color of the year for 2026 is the sky in New England on that awful day in early March when tree branches are dark and barren, the ground is covered with dirty, half frozen dregs of snowstorms past, and you are exhausted and jealous of everyone who fled to Florida
Pantone’s 2026 color of the year is technically not a color at all — meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world’s color authority.
Pantone makes a surprising choice for its 2026 color of the year
We did not see that coming.

As though we needed more evidence that our prison industry is terrible. To be clear, I mean it’s terrible that prison guards are the kind of people who want to work for ICE
“We’re broken and we’re being poached by ICE,” one official with the prison workers union told ProPublica. “It’s unbelievable. People are leaving in droves.”

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE
Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

Yes! This is so important! Machine Learning is doing wonderful things like mapping Martian craters and analyzing microbe genomes. LLMs are a very specific form & it’s them doing these huge amounts of harm. I also sometimes say “Gen AI”
when I mean both LLMs and art generators; I try to never say AI

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

I wish we lived in a land where if journalists heard the president call one of their colleges "piggy" or suggest another of their colleagues, who was butchered for what he wrote, in some way had it coming, they would close their laptops, leave as soon as possible, and ask to be reassigned.

There’s a similar problem with “GMO” foods. What *exactly* do you mean? There is no farmed wheat or corn that is not genetically modified from its wild ancestors. Same for most of the things we eat. And wear!

Lack of nuance compounds the problem. “Generative” AI or “LLMs built on stolen data” help, as does separating out ecological concerns. I mean, I *do* want Siri to understand me when I ask it to set a timer, and predictive text can be a real time-saver. But writing a first draft? No way.
One of the things most quietly grieved amongst practitioners is the half-century of history and work in learning systems and technologies which have historically been categorized as “AI”, and they’ve all been run over by LLMs, and by the hype cycles the industry has *built* around LLMs. A huge loss.
There are quite a few ethical and justice oriented AI people who talk about having lifelong love for a vision of AI that is being trashed by the current thing, and I wonder if any of those positive visions have been articulated somewhere? What is it ppl think AI is supposed to be instead of this?
