Fuck tenure, I want revenge.
Shit, now I'm watching Judgment Day as I *checks notes* write code for a Starfield mod.
Tbh, The Terminator movies were actually pretty good. By "The Terminator movies" I mean T1, T2, and Dark Fate.

Yes, I enjoyed Dark Fate.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

I’ve been screaming for help for 11 days. I’m at the point where it’s getting harder and harder to care about whether we survive homelessness. We won’t if we continue to not have help.

HELP US?? linktr.ee/hiitsbritt

For Nasra, Judy (13 years old) and Jawad (11 years old).

bsky.app/profile/peps...
I waited all year to buy something, minor to most, but important to me. Instead I have sent that money to Nasra and her family, via Paypal as it's faster for her to get funds.

I'd ask you to consider donating too, she has only seen $15 in a month. Thank you.

New article inspired by the recent hoopla surrounding Karen Hao's book (re: water use). I argue that "no one should look to the EA community as exemplifying good habits of epistemic and moral conduct." Here's why: www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/how-effect...
How Effective Altruists Use Threats and Harassment to Silence Their Critics
How does the Effective Altruist community respond to critics? With threats and harassment. Even people who still call themselves "Effective Altruists" are afraid to openly criticize the community.

Well if you got some cash burning in your pocket, this what I think you should do for Black Friday. Buy my new novella from this indie & request for your library, & give to the homies you see in need online. Especially give to

If you're out celebrating the excesses of capitalism, or taking advantage of the steep discounts to get needed items, DO NOT patronize Starbucks.

Your pumpkin spiced abomination is not worth crossing the picket line.
Starbucks employees escalated their strike on Black Friday, expanding to 120 stores and 85 cities.

Their CEO took home $96 million while refusing to negotiate a living wage for workers.

Boycott Starbucks. Stand with the employees.

I would do this if my local CostCo wasn't kitty-corner with a GODDAMNED BestBuy.

But also, this is sage advice. I might brave the hell-lot to get some prescription sunglasses.
I did my favorite thing in the whole world: grocery shopping on Black Friday.

I cannot recommend it enough.

I walked the entirety of costco, got my flu shot, and checked out in 45 minutes.

It is Black Friday, but it is also Fund Me Friday.

In honor of Link, who remains unjustly banned, I am carrying on the tradition of Fund Me Friday. Drop your mutual aid links beneath this post and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Real talk: I went to the Avatar exhibit at the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum in Seattle while it was up and the world building and design notes for that movie are incredible.

It would be a great sandbox for ANY OTHER CREATOR to play in.
Is there a real Avatar fandom? Somehow nobody talks about it in all those nerd conventions.

As much as I hate our app-enabled dystopia, the fact that I can go from watching a show on my phone, to my tablet, to my X-Box, and then to my laptop so I can keep watching a show while I play a video game (in true ADHD fashion) is pretty slick.

See, I was furious about this until I remembered that the party is so ignorant to the concept of honor that even the Fek'ihr would be like "how do you petaQ live like this?"
Hearing the DNC chair laud Mamdani as one of "their" wins when some of the biggest Democrats at this time worked very hard to torpedo his campaign is as infuriating as it is risible.
