Writer. New Yorker. Proud daughter of one of the many Springfields in this country (the one in Mass.) & NO, we weren't eating the cats & dogs either. Lover of cats (especially) & dogs, books & smart, kind people who are trying to do the right thing.
I'm looking forward to this tomorrow (online and in-person in NYC): Ben Model and his wife, Manna Allen, and other silent film historians and colleagues helped me get through the early months of COVID-19 when they hosted Sunday screenings and talks.
New book event! I’ll be giving a talk ‘n play presentation on “The Silent Film Universe” at the The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen on Thurs Dec 4th. The lecture will be both in-person and virtual. generalsociety.org/future-lectu...

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Jacob Frey: "We are here to respond to credible reports relaying that there are as many as 100 federal agents that will be deployed to the Twin Cities with a specific focus on targeting our Somali community. To our Somali community -- we love you and we stand with you. That commitment is rock solid"

“This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Painted figures haunt an empty building. A boy leaning on a pair of crutches. A father and son wandering a barren railroad track. A nuclear family at a picnic table. These poignant scenes were painted...

I'm 30. Growing up, my great aunt lived with me and my family. She lived to over 95. She was born in 1915... 2 years after Harriet Tubman died. Never let them tell you it was "so long ago". It's just a few generations back

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

5/A similar attack by a U boat in WWII resulted in conviction for war crimes. Even in wartime, an attack like this is a crime. If we are not at war—an issue the experts are now hotly debating—it’s quite simply murder. Continue reading here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-moment...

This is as good as this stuff will ever be, this is the phase where we're all supposed to be getting hooked in to this disruptive new thing. Once the free money dries up and they have to turn a profit, it will inevitably get worse and worse
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Tech oligarchs have been scrambling for products to retain dominance since the plateau of the home computer and mobile phone. Today, they're forcing 'AI' garbage on us while pushing for mass surveillance and war products, even if they have to make the wars to service them. We can reject this future.

Remigration is ethnic cleansing, which is a crime against humanity and a form of genocide.
That is what the regime is signaling. That is what it is wants.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.
