My thoughts on the Australian GP
1. Ferrari’s strategists need to be better.
2. Cadillac did well in its first outing.
3. Aston Martin is a mess.

So… I've been writing for about 18 years on the idea that if you somehow manage to make meaningfully conscious machine minds & then you treat them as tools, then you're enslaving those minds, and that's pretty messed up. And this ties into something else I've re-upped recently: LLMs can't say "No."

If you use a crypto wallet or pay in cash (apparently you can mail their officers and they’ll credit your account) then their is not payment data to hand over. Otherwise they’re legally required to respond to court orders like any other business or organization.

A bad look for Proton Mail but if you want a high degree of privacy you shouldn’t be using a credit card on a private messaging app.

Women's History Month is the perfect time to listen to this series I designed about the overlooked and underrated contributions of women in philosophy.

From Hypatia to Hildegard, Mary Wollstonecraft to Mary Midgley, learn about philosophy's unsung heroines!

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

in 1983, 90% of U.S. media was spread across 50 companies. in 2012, it's these six Comcast, Newscorp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, CBS

I appreciate that he reached out to apologize and I think the interview adding context helps mitigate the harm that was done (which largely seems to be the fault of the BBC and BAFTA).

I don't think they intentionally mic'd him. Likeliest explanation is two departments not talking to each other.

"The utility has pointed to the region’s historically cold winter as a cause of rising heating demand and costs...But in an email to The 51st, Pepco’s own data show that their D.C. customers actually used more energy in January 2025 than January 2026."

oh yeah, this is another key point. BBC and BAFTA apparently *did* edit out a whole bunch of other slurs that Davidson shouted, they just left that one in. wonder why! bsky.app/profile/segy...

It feels like the BBC and BAFTA took advantage of this man’s disability to generate controversy around something he might say. When that happened to be the N-word their censors failed… for some odd reason.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

NEW: The USPS changed its rules on how it postmarks ballots.

This may affect elections at every stage at which there's a mail deadline.

An underplayed one: VOTER REGISTRATION.

Many voters who send in their registration forms by mail could be postmarked late, missing out without realizing it.

Had the honor and pleasure of talking with Annette Newell, along with Sen. Ron Wyden, on the Speaking Freely podcast, to do some year-end/year-to-come thinking, consider the importance of politicians holding town halls, and much more p.ftur.io/kxl/4300

In October I testified in a federal case on new restrictions on NC’s same day voter registration policy using my research w/ Charlotte Hill on SDR and young voters. Smaller impact than much else in 2025-6 but voter suppression is still a thing.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

Not enforcing state law that protects civil rights because it might upset the federal governmentβ€”even when no federal law or Supremacy issue existsβ€”is real bad, friends
