One thing right wingers keep asking is “what if some Democrats are in there?”
I would like to repeat our answer, which is, toss them in a cell, too. We don’t care who they know.

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.
Release the files. Immediately.

One might ask then why college at all, and UChicago specifically. The answer is: Connections and prestige, which do in fact matter. The editor interviewing me for my first job thought it was hugely impressive I had a philosophy degree from Chicago. Not just that I had the degree, but where from.

Conventions, if you use AI do not be surprised if creators turn down your invitations to be guests or even to be on panels.
Do not use tools trained on stolen work from creators and then tell them you want to honor or uplift them - that’s not what you’re doing. You’re stealing and being lazy.

Why is it that tech and AI boosters keep saying "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" when making arguments about AI's supposed inevitable dominance? Did they not read the story? The genie does, indeed, go back in the bottle. Maybe we should start there.

Just thinking... we give so much attention (as we should!) to the victims of state violence, ie, people sent to CECOT.
But, we give little consideration to the psychic violence suffered by those tasked with carrying out the physical violence.
