There is no reason to follow me. Seriously, think about the children.
I really haven't been persuasive about this. You shouldn't follow me. It can't go well for you.

Yeah, but we couldn't vote for Kamala because of Genocide Joe. Remember that? It's almost as though there are two sets of standards -- one for Republicans, the other for Democrats. And, by coincidence, those standards are set such that it helps Republicans. Weird. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/15/u...

I am honored to receive the Rosa Parks Medal from International Stop The Violence Alliance
This past year hasn’t been easy for me, but I’m empowered by the work of Rosa Parks to keep fighting for justice.
Meaningful change doesn’t happen easily, but that won’t stop me.
Thank you 💜

Main editing/mixing computer went belly-up. It's done that before and I managed to fix it. But this time it might be impossible to fix.

This cartoon is the Rosetta Stone.
One of the dangers of AI is the models’ capacity to social engineer humans.
One possible outcome is that those humans (who usually don’t understand the tech) will then social engineer other humans.
Through this process, we could see the spread of AI psychosis. (I think we’re seeing this already.)

I cannot find a decent "traditional" Romeo & Juliet on a video to show my class. There was one in the 80's on PBS. It was very cool.

I've been using a sort of loose and modified Glyn Johns drum miking method -- three mics on a drum kit. It works strikingly well.
It works well IF your drummer is good. This is key. If the drummer sucks you need to close-mic every drum and fix them.
But if the drummer can tune and play well?

Sometimes the same commenters will complain that Kamala simultaneously ran on positions which were too extreme and also that she was too centrist.
Of course, nobody ever mentions gender politics regarding anyone not voting for Harris.

On this space-station the O2 regulators are not that reliable so I prefer to just wear a rebreather or O2 mask when sleeping but the station's computer won't let me.
