This is really not just US thing. Almost two years ago when Israel was still dealing with just the extreme-fascist-right taking over the office I worked at was two streets away from one of the most active highway intersections for protests. I went to all the mid-day protests (and got full support from the workplace! The company owner actually closed the office on a couple more active days and made it quietly clear he won't count time off if it happened to co-inside with major protests.) but at some point work just had to be done... So there I sit, modeling some mechanism on my computer as I listen to the world burning outside the window. We'd join groups blocking the road and duck police horses over lunch break then go back to sending emails about the standard length of wood screw. And I honestly thought is would be the most surreal experience of my life, until the fucking war started. And the world finally relented and stopped for a couple weeks... but then it was a month in. People had groceries and diapers they had to buy. Two months. Rents were due and businesses had clients to provide for and people just had to get back to life. At six months the protests were looking almost like they did before. I remember talking to friends about our yearly LARP event in September and if we could -or would- run it. Everyone just said that honestly there's no point worrying about that because honestly if the war would still be going by then we'll have bigger things to worry about. Except 11 months did pass, and we did have bigger things to worry about, but we also had 300 players wanting to know if the event is running. We decided to run it, coordinating with the home front command for their approval and trying to give the nearly 100 kids who grew up in this event a sense that life isn't just war... So there I was late at night when the sirens started. In an open field. Watching as 300 people stopped everything and laid on the ground covering their heads. After ten minutes you're allowed to get up. After 20 minutes most people were done calling their families. it took another 30 minutes for most kids to get back to sleep.... and then we kept on larping, because what the fuck else was there to do beside somehow trying to keep on with life?

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

Sometimes I hyperfocus so hard on something, I forget I’m a person until someone interacts with me. I feel like some wild animal seeing a human being for the first time. I’m like “oh yeah I’m supposed to speak and stuff”

These exist. The problem is that these characters are usually called the villains.

I recently got an on-campus job. During the interview process, I requested that I not be scheduled on Friday nights or Saturdays as I am a Jewish student.

My boss immeadiately brightened and rushed to explain - "Of course ! Of course! We want to accomodate you! We have another worker who takes off for Ramadan. Do you need to take off for Ramadan?"

I shook my head, incredibly confused. "Uh. That's. Not my jurisdiction. I'm good." Boss nodded but was sure to add "Let me know if that ever changes. We can help you with Ramadan."

Beneficial ways to use AI: - Generating new potential medicine. - analyzing climate patterns. - auto-transcribing real time image descriptions and subtitles for people with disabilities to better enjoy things such as live events, walks in nature and conversations noisy environments. - More neutral sounding speech for people who communicate through a computer or speech boards to boost self advocacy, engagement and clinical outcomes. - Quickly generate maps and routs to help effectively evacuate people from disaster zones without traffic being gridlocked for hours trapping people near danger. - Brain-computer interface for bedridden and quadriplegic patients to pilot remote devices and be more independent or better engage with society. - Stable, actively balance supporting mobility aids for the elderly and whoever needs them. - Data analysis for camera and sensors deep in natural reserves and remote habitats to monitor eco-systems and support early, minimal ecological interventions. - Non-persona "conversational" AI agents promoting independence for elderly, illiterate and mentally challenged individuals. - Decoding ancient text in forgotten languages. - Human-dolphin / human-whale communication. As always, the technology itself isn't the problem. It's late stage capitalism and Neo-monarchies.

“In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“

LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy
