what power art thou who from below hast made me rise unwillingly and slow from beds of everlasting snow I keep my online and offline lives separate. Academic, musician, writer, among other art forms. #nobridge

my life goal is to die anonymously in a flat in Berlin, to be discovered only six months later by a small avant-garde circle

October marks the start of the olive harvest in Palestine, a culturally significant and, usually, joyous occasion.

Israeli settlers - backed by soldiers - have stolen crops, cut down trees, attacked, and in some cases severely injured, Palestinian olive-pickers - *every day* this week.

yes, yes, it's true that [insert criticisms of genAI] but you've failed to take into account that i'm a lazy piece of shit with no taste or discernment, and deserve money and praise for that

writing an epic poem about the great textual critics of history, who edited texts hundreds of pages from thousands of manuscripts that a hundred philologists would quiver to approach today, copying it out in several versions and dispersing them and then ascending to lachmannian godhood

To be candid, I want the bubble to burst. Because it will eventually and inevitably, but the longer the current charade goes on the more our planet and communities are decimated— and the more dependent we become on the few powerful people left who control those resources.

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

On either side of the business that had the crazy eric adams sign out front these have sprouted and I am so proud to be living in “little pakistan”, as the neighborhood is called. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social should come around these parts! We’ve got an Arsenal bar here too!
