The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Screenshot of David Simon interview
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It seems impossible that any of this happened, but it did

The popularity of “John Brown’s Body” among Union soldiers was a testament not merely to Brown’s rehabilitation but to his canonization. Like the Biblical prophets whose imprecations he echoed, Brown had little honor in a country which he believed to have invited divine judgment for its sins. But his words, deeds, and death were sanctified when the war came. In 1857, Illinois Senate candidate Lincoln pronounced Brown a fanatic, insisting that “not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary” to achieve abolition. In 1861, President Lincoln, still hoping to avoid war, was reported as saying that “emancipation would be equivalent to a John Brown raid, on a gigantic scale.” In 1863, Abe the Emancipator commanded thousands of troops—including former slaves—who marched to kill enslavers and liberate their captives, singing of a “terrible swift sword” not unlike the one which Brown wielded at Harpers Ferry. It was fitting, then, that at Cooper Union—the site of Lincoln’s most extended denunciation of Brown’s actions—Frederick Douglass recruited Black troops for Lincoln’s army by promising that “[e]very honest soldier who marches into Virginia goes there to carry out the object that led JOHN BROWN to Harpers Ferry.” Reluctantly but ineluctably, Lincoln proved Brown right.

A plant rather than a mushroom, but I love to catch Monotropa uniflora (ghost pipe) before it has bloomed. In the Ericaceae family, which includes blueberries and cranberries.

During trump’s first term, it was air traffic controllers that tipped the scales regarding the longest government shutdown in history.
It appears they have decided to stop fucking around and go on and do the thing.
This is an outstanding example of the power of the working class.

If we ever had actually lived in a democracy Bernie Sanders would have finished up his 2nd term last year and we would have universal healthcare and 4 day weeks.

We live in an Oligarchic Technocracy where corporations and moneyed interest groups decide what we get to decide. You get Coke or Pepsi

moon from last night

a picture of the full moon. the moon hangs in the upper right portion of the photo, her face is blurry but recognizable, a branch cuts thru the lower third while leaves cut into the top of the moon (branch and leaves in sharp focus). the background of the photo is pure black.
