the atlantic had a pretty good opinion piece about AI recently and the core argument was in the era of generative AI what will differentiate people from each other is their relationship to mental effort. are you still willing and able to spend time exerting significant effort learning how to do hard things. which of course only happens through the work of actually doing those things. not sure I agree with everything in it but I think it’s a useful framework and I definitely think about this re: my work as a teacher. I think the kids who are going to do well (and by that I mean not “make a lot of money” but “remain connected to others and grounded in what it means to be human”) are the ones who learn how to do hard things. and learn to find real joy in the hard work itself. because it IS joyful! it is joyful to have a deep unshakable sense of purpose and to be working towards goals that feel truly meaningful to you. anyway thinking about this today for no particular reason

Boo hoo i'll be able to add more physical storage to my phone and be able to change out batteries if they degrade as well as all these other optional features I won't have to touch

Continuing in the trend of political cartoons depicting milquetoast moderate positions seem so much cooler and more badass than they are

I love how they add totally absurd things no one is asking for to make the idea look crazy. And still, I must emphasize, failing to make this look like a bad idea.

"Is this what you want? Is this ugly stupid bullcrap what you want??" the biggest loudest idiot in the room asks, holding up a picture of the hottest looking shit I've ever seen

The first funny bitch was Cain, who straight up lied to God after killing his brother.

nakedinasnowsuit

God: where’s Abel?

Cain: fuck if I know??? I’m not in charge of him

thewitchway

It is TRAGIC that you can’t read this in the original Hebrew.

God: Where’s the Sheepkeeper?

Cain: Do I LOOK like a Brotherkeeper?

careful-crow

God: hey where’s Abel???

Cain:

adventuretfox

He killed his yonger brother in cold blood because he was jealous of him. There is in no way anything funny about this. No hesitation just poped a rock over his turned head, droped his body over the edged and tried to lie to god about what he did. FUCK YALL CRAZIES!!!

oh are those the receipts, Cain is problematic now?

Please remember that almost everyone around you is traumatized. I didn’t understand this when I was younger. I wondered why people acted so strangely and irrationally. Maybe all children wonder this. The author Robert Anton Wilson said (paraphrasing), “We have never seen a completely sane adult human.” No one makes it out of this life alive. It’s not their fault. Mercy, kindness, forgiving — these are what makes one human. They are other names for love. People break in the strangest of ways.

“Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. we have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. we have never seen a totally sane human being." — Robert Anton Wilson

Things that I knew about: that the mass incarceration of people in the USA , particularly black men, has direct ties to/is an extension of slavery. Things I did not know: this specific shit about Louisiana HOLY FUCK this is evil.

OH MY GOSH????

When activist Sam Sinyangwe was awaiting a meeting with the governor’s office at the Louisiana state capitol building in Baton Rouge, he not

The 13th Amendment provides a loophole that allows for the legality of unpaid prison labor, which is sometimes called "modern-day slavery."

Grew up next to Angola. It’s much worse than you think

sisterreisaid

I wonder how many people are imprisoned for weed

I’m from Mississippi and it’s like this in my home town. Enslaved prisoners clean roadways, pick cotton, everything they’ve done since before slavery was supposedly ended. What they teach in schools is nothing but propaganda.

The 13th amendment to the US constitution reads:

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

It is slavery. Being convicted of a crime - any crime! - removes the legal protection to not be enslaved. The immense, lucrative US prison industry is built on this legal premise and has been from the start.
