A short tale from way back when I worked at Apple: My team had a lot of lunchtime meetings and they usually got pizza to feed us lunch while we worked. There were two of us on the team who were vegetarian, so they'd order six or eight pizzas for the team and all of them would have meat except for the one meatless pizza they had for just the two of us. But everyone likes vegetarian pizza, so people would get in line, take what looked good which included the veggie pizza, and by the time I got to the veggie pizza it would be gone and I'd have no lunch (and the other vegetarian had the same problem, of course). They tried to get the non-vegetarian people to stop eating the veggie pizza, then tried to hide it so only we veggies could get it, but nothing worked. So I suggested they order four kinds of vegetarian pizzas and a couple pizzas with meat, and that worked out great and there was much rejoicing.

This is a post about gatekeeping disability accommodations.

Trump announced on Wednesday that he is repealing the Biden-era federal fuel economy standards,
significantly weakening fuel efficiency requirements for tens of millions of new gasoline-powered cars and light trucks.
It marks the US president’s latest effort to dismantle pollution regulations and federal support for cleaner-running vehicles and renewable energy.
Burning gasoline is a significant contributor to global heating and transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.

Pres Trump🚨pardoned the co-founder of stadium developer Oak View Group Tim Leiweke, who was charged earlier this year with rigging bids for a Texas arena, according to a document released by the Justice Department.

His DOJ charged Leiweke.

It's not just projection with Trump, he's actually committed the very crimes that he's pardoning people for. He's a shameless, soulless, conman.

@fromjason the AI companies arguments are so dumb that it would be funny if our governments weren't falling for them: OpenAI theoretically has a "kill switch" to shut down ChatGPT when it "inevitably" becomes sentient and open source LLMs like DeepSeek do not, therefore the government needs to ban open source LLMs and fund OpenAI to ensure they get to AGI first in a "safe" way

President of #Signal, Meredith Whittaker (@Mer__edith ) calls the AI apocalypse a "A fantastical, adrenalizing ghost story is being used to hijack attention around what is the problem that regulation needs to solve"

I agree. And I think Hank Green would agree if he took a closer look at #AIdoomerism and the people and orgs he platformed in his last two videos on #AI.

I wrote about it here.

"This is not the time for lazy science."

Many thanks to Evie Unraveling for making this video about the science, history, and technology of knitting. If you didn't see the video SciShow knitting video, it is full of misinformation, lazy science, and misogyny. I love SciShow, but that was irresponsible. As a female scientist and crocheter, this correction video by Evie was very affirming.

https://youtu.be/5btQokB32dQ?si=X0hh33uuicnX2RlJ

The video was removed from SciShow's YouTube page after the backlash and Hank Green has posted an apology on his own Tiktok.

Is Hank an AI-doomerist now?

I wrote about Hank Green, my trip to Savannah, and AI-Doomerism.

It's not lost on me that Hank is the internet's favorite science influencer. That's what makes his last two videos on AI so jarring.
