Well, here we go again.
Send this to your asshole relatives/co-workers who are "THEY WAZ CRIMINAL THEY DESERVE TO DIE" regarding the sunken boats situation....like they'll care, but you will feel better sending it.
“You're putting our own Navy SEALs in harm's way.”
@profgalloway.com says offering mercy is both a moral obligation and a strategic necessity, after reports that the Trump administration launched a second strike on survivors of an attack on an alleged drug boat.

It is particularly offensive that the US Government should take the side of Herod in the nativity story. See Matthew 2:13-15.
That's right, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were made refugees in the land of Egypt, and here is ICE out to "seek the young child to destroy him"

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

Someone clarified why Tarantino went after Dano, Lillard (whoever that is, sorry I'm elderly :p) et al:
Dano and Lillard support Palestinians rights and are against Israeli aggression there. Tarantino lives in Tel Aviv with his Israeli wife and their child.
So, that clears that up. As you were.

Anyway I was going to do a deep dive into whether or not a popular YouTube vlogger was deepfaked, but I decided to work on my resume instead tonight.
Someone hold me accountable! My goal for 2026 is to get a stable indoor job, winter and spring are my window.

I guess this answers the question I asked in my last post:
The other night I was idly watching the sixth episode in a new-to-me TV series on Netflix and about 10 minutes before the end of the episode the playback froze. After trying to restart it for a bit I exited and re-opened Netflix and the entire series had disappeared, apparently deleted from the app.

Not on anyone's checklist of priorities, I know, but...does this mean we'll finally be able to watch the Warner Archive catalog on Netflix? I'm thinking about how Disney+ unearthed a ridiculous amount of old, obscure movies. Let's do that again! Because at this point, I need motivation to stay.

Andrew Zimmern isn't on here so hell, just watch Zimmern List or his new outdoor cooking shows. He strikes me as a great guy who can make friends w anyone.

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word!

True about the therapy. Look, a lot of you could benefit from therapy - you probably need that guidance in your life.
The rest of you just need to eat CBD and have some fun in life, which the economic stuff would help with. (I'll save my thoughts about wages for another discussion.)

very strong "GO ON FOLLOW ME YOU'LL BE BORED" vibes in this interview. Except even Gary Hart was intelligent enough to avoid threatening, misogynistic attacks on the reporters who, in the end, did follow him. And weren't bored at all.

Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

A long thread:
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.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
