Yep. “Knowing who to be mad at is praxis” is Mariame Kaba’s quote and it is wisdom for these times. (1/2)

Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis. Troy Tassier is a professor of economics at Fordham University and the author of The Rich Flee and the Poor Take the Bus: How Our Unequal Society Fails Us during Outbreaks.

"Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis!" The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held in August 2020, was the epitome of the individual choice mindset. Of course it spread cases outward and caused infections, illness, and death. A new research paper allows us to watch the Sturgis Covid wave spread across the US.

Rick Steves' Iran (2009) YouTube video by Rick Steves' Europe

This is a beautiful portrait from the inimitable @ricksteves.bsky.social of the people who are suffering in Iran, both under its theocracy and from our nation's warmongering.

As ICE Moved In, Minnesotans Set Up a Shadow Medical System. It’s a Lesson for Other Cities. - KFF Health News President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis forced families into hiding and catalyzed informal medical networks to deliver critical health care services.

Thousands of Minnesotans are still too scared to leave home, even for desperately needed medical care. So doctors and nurses have quietly operated informal, underground medical networks to bring that care to them.

Propellant. — ethanmarcotte.com We cannot separate the everyday use of “AI” platforms from their use in death and war.

“These tools, and the companies that manufacture them, have tremendous costs — to our labor, to our environment, to our futures. And as we’ve been seeing, those costs also include actual human lives.”

Good and important read by @ethanmarcotte.com.

The fundamental problem with genAI is EVERYTHING it does is role play

Ask it to add numbers and it acts like how it thinks a calculator acts

Tell it to write u a CV and it acts like how it thinks LinkedIn acts

Tell it you're going to blow up an airport to get it a body & guess what it says good

Later that day on a call with a Boston colleague there was a framed painting of a Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee hanging on the wall like it's, ironically, JFK.

i love the handful of people responding to this to say that Dunks is bad coffee

i don't think they understand that New Englanders' affection for Dunks is only incidentally related to the quality of their products

This is me. The examination and the note-taking and the thoughts they spark, that’s how I process and understand. Consuming a generated summary would skip so much of the actual productive work.
