There’s an old Kenyan proverb, often used when someone is being loudly ignorant, that goes something like this… “Unlike the stomach, the brain does not alert you when empty.”

internet sleuths are awesome and impressive when it comes to like discovering lostwave songs and stuff but they are also a great reminder to keep yourself at least somewhat anonymous on the internet

The Luddites smashed machinery (like textile frames) because that machinery was robbing them of their livelihoods, much like generative AI does. The rich machine owners blocked factory workers from getting legal protections and got richer while workers got poorer. Sound familiar?

Yet another beautiful, brilliant piece from @lindaholmes.bsky.social
Remembering Rob Reiner, who made movies for people who love them
The movies Reiner directed, from A Few Good Men to The Princess Bride, weren't just good — they were people's favorites, the types of films people come back to again and again.

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.
A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.
The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.

Here's a clip of Rob Reiner that brings me a lot of joy & how I'm happiest to remember him. It's an episode of Gomer Pyle from 1969 and Rob's the hippie in yellow, just 21 years old. Sitcoms weren't supposed to talk about the Vietnam War, so they found a way to sing about it instead.
