Imagining some different worlds and what it might take to get to them.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.

Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.

If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.

So must you.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

AP says it will offer buyouts as part of pivot away from newspaper-focused history The Associated Press says it will offer buyouts to an unspecified number of its U.S.-based journalists as part of an acceleration away from the focus on newspapers and their print journalism that sust...

People should actually be very alarmed that while AP's business model is shot to bits, Americans are still very much reliant on the news it delivers. The alternatives in some cases are inferior or non-existent.

An Open Letter to LaRussell The rapper made an error with the song “Heaven Sent,” writes fellow Bay Area emcee Rocky Rivera. But not listening to his community was the bigger mistake.

A Bay Area rapper made a bad call, doubled down, and blocked his critics.

Official Launch Trailer for The House of Hikmah | Arrives April 8th, 2026 YouTube video by Lunacy Studios

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us.

I mean if you’re gonna have or be a pope, this is the way to do it. (2nd paragraph, specifically)

Since today is First Contact Day (the day in Star Trek when humans meet their first aliens, Vulcans) it’s worth talking about that story a bit and how it can inform our analysis of Artemis.

LRP makes me think of how incurious people can be because we are smoothing away access to things under the guise of safety or decency.

I think about all the friction and discomfort I experienced stumbling around when I was younger, and without it I would be a much different person.

I’ve said this before but I truly think that reading shit you’re not ready for is how you learn to sit with discomfort. By forbidding the next generation from pushing their boundaries, you’re doing them an immense disservice

Happy Birthday, Toriyama-San.

If the wealthy can get you thinking about who deserves basic needs and who doesn't, they win. They don't care if you think wealthy people are the ones who don't deserve; establishing that it must be earned is the key. With that done, they can just keep expanding the definition of "undeserving."

Even in a world where LLM never existed this is solid mentoring
