Every so often I spend a few actual minutes thinking about what life would be like if we didn't have these imperfect nascent decentralized social systems kicking around and it was still just Twitter and Meta platforms and TikTok

Cranking up demands for self-surveillance on human artists is such a grotesque response to AI. I don't let robots anywhere near my writing but I would never use this. I edit *on paper*and then transcribe! When I'm unwell, I use dictation. No one gets a fucking log of my waking time. Come on.

This is so unwise to post, but:
Data centers do a ton of things we rely on and we will need more. They‘re also a perfect target for vicious reforms. “Zero new data centers without [X large percent renewables] plus siting away from residential and nothing off-grid,” or what have you.

And yet wherever ICE and CBP show up in force, young people do come out to protect their neighbors—and at far greater risk to themselves than the risks posed by mass protests that may help in a diffuse way, or may work more like an accountability sink than a countermove.

You know those banners on news sites that are like “This article is THREE YEARS OLD YOU WEIRDO, please act accordingly”? We need that for social but measured in hours.

My brain is okay at some things but then there are these peripheral things it does. Like I was today years old when I realized that Personal Shopper is a different movie from Confessions of a Shopaholic. And also Sicario is not in fact a remake of, uh. Serpico.

So many microbes, so few inspections. Food safety oversight is one of those super-basic things the government should do, and it's degrading in so many ways at once.

A public apology: I misspoke earlier this week when I said I don't write about mod decisions because I don't do quick-turn analysis. That is true but the real reason is I cannot endure the state of my replies.

Truly it is the journalists typing fast on devices known to introduce errors via increasingly deranged autocorrect who are the major societal problem

and I didn’t notice until after I had put it ON MY HEAD to test it that the inner fuzzy surface was covered in a dozen sticky insect cocoons with whole insects visible inside each one

Yet better in full: "…what has been demanded from so many in this room and in this city, this state, this country has been faith. Faith that life could be more than this. Faith that we could dream of something more than simply struggle. And as James 2:14 reminds us, faith without works is death."

I want to restate something I said in a lot of replies yesterday, which is that this move is not going to reduce replies yelling at the Bsky team—and that should not be the goal.
What it does is clarify how moderation works here so that people can assess that and act accordingly.

This exact same dynamic—dehumanizing fake content made entirely bc Facebook pays people to make it—played out in Myanmar in the run-up to a genocide. [@karenhao.bsky.social](https://bsky.app/profile/karenhao.bsky.social ) laid it out in the starkest terms:

I am watching the Home Alones 1 and 2 with my kid this year, having never seen them before, and the past is a foreign country, huh
