the profile photo is a mugshot, following my arrest during an international day of protest against the G-8 summit, in Cologne, Germany. i served the longest prison sentence of anyone arrested that day, around the world. i was the most revolting man on Earth: June 18th, 1999. (see Do or Die #8)

i'm writing erotic fiction these days, about how the Earth is freed from patriarchy by a group of Goddesses, and the guys who love them.

I was a bit unprofessional today. I asked the host of a meeting to mute the zoom participants, then I addressed the two staff present in-person about their insistence on using a student’s dead name. One staffer used the excuse that the name is in the official paperwork. I called it an excuse and reminded them both that this is a human being. I might not be called back to interpret more of those meetings, but I couldn’t bear keep hearing them treat the student like that.

Bureaucracy is not an excuse for mistreating others.

big cheers to AI for getting on with culling the herd!

great job.

“We find that AI assistance improves immediate performance, but it comes at a heavy cognitive cost,” the study declares of its findings. “After just [about] 10 minutes of AI-assisted problem-solving, people who lost access to the AI performed worse and gave up more frequently than those who never used it.”

At the end of the day, AI is a technology for people who like the idea of owning other people. That’s what makes it inherently misogynistic, inherently racist, and inherently fascist. It is an accelerated extraction and exploitation device

Smart move I guess with a semi war declaration and Microsoft definitely folding for the US government.

Democrats and their boosters continually insist that we should know (or perhaps believe) that they will be better than Trump without articulating what they would actually do differently than Trump. The vibes will be better, I guess?

Hey, remember during the campaign when Harris called Iran the United States' greatest adversary?

I wonder what she would have done in Trump's place.

Nah. We all know.
