My latest column for @TeenVogue on how proposed mask bans are the new ugly laws and how the mask is the new unsightly marker of deviant individuals
Many thanks to @broadwaybabyto @Aoiferocksitout @BeingCharisBlog & @Eman_Rimawi for talking with me!

When I say fatphobia within healthcare can literally kill, people call me dramatic

Gen. AI is unprofitable, unsustainable, and fundamentally limited in what it can do thanks to the fact that it's probabilistically generating an answer.
It's not the future - it's a regurgitation of the past.

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

Welp, that's all folks. The President is immune from prosecution so long as he says he committed crimes as part of his "official" duties.
So ends the part of the American experience where our leaders were bound by the rule of law. Thanks for playing.

"Perhaps most fundamentally, Chevron’s presumption is misguided because agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do." -- this guy is saying that EXPERTS don't have any special competence to know how to apply the law, but judges do.

Kagan in dissent, ripping into Roberts:
"In one fell swoop, the majority today gives itself exclusive power over every open issue no matter how expertise-driven or policy-laden—involving the meaning of regulatory law. As if it did not have enough on its plate, the majority turns itself into the country's administrative czar. It defends that move as one (suddenly) required by the (nearly 80-year-old) Administrative Procedure Act. But the Act makes no such demand. Today's decision is not one Congress directed. It is entirely the majority's choice."

🚨The Supreme Court has just overruled Chevron v. NRDC by a 6-3 ideological vote with Roberts writing for the majority.
If you don’t know what that means, please watch this video.
This is a five alarm fire.

If you’re that high risk, you shouldn’t be in large crowds.” They’re saying the quiet part out loud. Many believe disabled people should stay home forever and not belong in society. We deserve to exist in society safely. The fact that this even needs to be said is disgraceful!

Reminding people to stop using this BS garbage, even for giggles.
We need to overthrow this trend. These corporations want nothing more than to burn the world into the ground, and make us pay the price. Billionaires think the world owes them and is their playground. ENOUGH.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life.
But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

everyone's ignoring this because they think modernity is an absolute reality and not a fragile thing capitalists created......there will come a point where the heat causes our power grids to fail, shattering the illusion of safety many people in imperial cores operate under

This is why Republicans work so hard to keep history out of schools. They don’t want white children to know what their parents and grandparents did.

The CDC decision to reduce Covid isolation to one day was one of the most dangerous they’ve made.
Not only does it all but guarantee people are in public while infectious - it puts people at higher risk for Long Covid & other complications. People need to REST to recover.
