California residents: for the first time in a long time, your vote this November matters nationally.

Prop 50 counters the illegitimate Republican gerrymander of Texas, restoring the impact of your vote on congress. It's temporary, expiring in 2030.

There are good people against it, but they're misguided. Taking the high road here just helps those who oppose democracy keep control of our government.

Please vote yes on 50, and encourage your friends to do the same.

With Apple and Google loaning their app stores to authoritarians, our tech press should be asking: what are the alternatives? And why is Apple working so hard to suppress the web?

But they are not asking those questions:

The way to read a fascist like Peter Thiel is not to ask “Does he really believe this shit?”

It is to ask “What would this justify, if true?”

What would it justify if people worried about climate change, AI or even nuclear war, are working for the literal Antichrist?

What would it justify if the UN and ICC are preparing the ground for the Antichrist?

@ChrisWere @uoou and myself finally got together to ramble our way into a finale of this iteration of our show. As always it is mostly us talking nonsense but, hopefully, entertainingly.

Periodic self-repetition: As a data librarian I can say that "AI" is not a matter of personal preference -- whether you like it or not, or whether you have found some use that you think is useful. It actively destroys organized knowledge, and therefore it actively destroys civilization.

Whenever someone looks for a human written text and can't find it because statistical near variants have been created and indexed, whenever "AI" "hallucinates" a reference, knowledge has been destroyed.
