Lazy, middle-class intellectual.
It seems to me I could live my life a lot better than I think I am.
Not a worm.

I remember telling my healthcare students in 2016 that AI was coming for their jobs. They thought I was foolish. The one who most vocally disagreed wore her Trump hat to class after he won the election.
Dr Oz on rural healthcare: "There's no question about it, whether you want it or not -- the best way to help some of these communities is gonna be AI-based avatars"

If you wonder what it's like at a not-quite-yet-closed college, it's miserable.

My goal is to be 20 in 1980 starting an alt country band that's like Beat Farmers meets Gun Club.

I will not be deterred!

This "5 courses I took in college" thing is really revealing the folks who went to selective, private institutions.

It's important to me to not use dehumanizing language when talking about humans, but gosh that man makes it hard.

We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

"Every day, I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable." - Victor Wembanyama says about the killings in Minnesota

The first professional police force in the US began in 1838 in Boston. In 1854 only three cities had police forces: NYC, Philly, and Boston.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it
