“In this day and age, even if you don’t like AI, you don’t have an option FOR NOW to opt out of it.”
I fixed the quote.
Anyone been following B. Globe more closely? Today’s article on “AI” continues to frame the thing as inevitable. As if Gen Z is mostly concerned about it for moral reasons. But the concern is EXISTENTIAL.
So yeah this piece hasn’t done anything to shift my perspective on the Globe. It’s an out-of-touch paper serving corporate interests. Shame

adding #BosPoli to this for reach. We've got to do better, Boston.

Boston Community Choice Electricity (BCCE) is a City of Boston program providing residents and businesses with affordable renewable energy. Over 200,000 Boston households and businesses are currently enrolled, saving residents an average of $200 each year.
At least 16 officers have left their jobs recently, following a revelation that they were using license plate readers like Flock to stalk ex-partners or romantic interests. Shocking.

Noting that DeFlock can be .org or .me since both direct you here. Have people organized a DeFlock Boston yet? I believe some neighbors have been fighting Flock.
Daniel A. Lander ’14 picked up his first major endorsement in the state Senate race this week, as Mass Alliance — a coalition of labor unions and progressive advocacy groups — backed his bid to unseat incumbent William N. Brownsberger ’78.
Hard, yes, and an exciting time to be in Massachusetts. People are doing great work here. And our governor may not win her election this fall, so we can push for real, positive change now. (Like shutting down Hanscom.)
To the extent that you can, we need you to be involved! Whether that's making public art, helping with LUCE, calling your rep's office on a regular basis, or something else, it matters.
I'm excited to consider Andrea James for governor.
It’s #STFUfriday!
When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:
- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.
- Am I free to leave?
- I am not answering any questions.
- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."
- I want to talk to a lawyer.
