Dearest Reader, it is world Octopus day and I am definitely not stuck on my current lo fi ficciones de sciencia. Nope. Nay. Still, I would be remiss if I didn't remind you of the Dolores trilogy about humanity, it's guardian, and first contact with Spoktopusses: writteninexile.com?page_id=2569

Took a half day. Now I'm uh get me and my roomie the good soup that beats the shit out of cold viruses.

Just read your child a book, you piece of techbro trash.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

I get all precious about shit that I write that I actually like and then it does take some time to remove my head from my ass and to remember I write bedtime stories, so I should just write the fucker. Reader, I am slower these days, but Rogue Planet is coming. Chapter 2 in process.

Day 1 of talking union shit at work (until they fire me or we organize one). Went well enough.

These motherfuckers need Union Jesus.

I'm just gonna talk that good union shit in this shop every motherfuckin day. Free association. You need a union. If you are anti union? Shut the fuck up, bootlicker.

Is trying to write his stupid little science ficciones.

This made me laugh

Accelerationism, in all its forms, is for idiots and racist garbage. Be better. Read better.

So like, it's ok to feel doomed. I guess if you wanna be a doomer, that's your choice. It's not ok to succumb to nihilism in a world where children still exist and people still make people. The "obligation to endure" applies to we the living as well as the future. Reciprocity. Relationship.

There are no "burdensome" regulation. Rules of the road that say I get to know my bread is more than sawdust, that say workers get a safe shop? They are sacred. People who bitch about regs are fittin to kill workers and are always the enemy. Regulations are awesome. Get fucked if you don't like them

Today I will be free from a debt to a slumlord piece of shit that should have drowned me. This is cause for celebration.

Hi. I think if I could afford actual access to medical care I would want the people who make medical devices (not just the white collars) to be paid enough to live. I make medical devices (I'm real good at what I do too, as are my comrades).

If a fascist demands civility? Bite them.

Happy spookie season and also fuck these horrors that insist on persisting. The horrors need to stop.

The more I consider this mighty tail, the more do I deplore my inability to express it.

This. Read this.

Today I heard someone use the Human Centipede as a way to explain why large model AI is inevitably heading towards its own self destruction by tainting its future inputs, and honestly? It was a beautiful teaching metaphor.

Hi, I have a question. Who was the Cornell employee with the authority to make this decision: "write me an essay of contrition." Former writing teacher asking for a few million friends.

Sometimes I wonder if my employer has a 'dead peasant policy' on the hourlies here.

AI is garbage, folks.

the two big ai stories to kick off the week are - meta ai giving your address to strangers on fb marketplace - stole a scientific breakthrough and presented it as its own work this is what we get instead of healthcare or third spaces or public transportation or pick literally anything else

waste a whole weekend not writing OR job hunting. Mine to waste though.

64 years ago, on the 27th of September 1962, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published. It handled the environmental harm caused by the pesticide DDT and the disinformation spread by the chemical industry. Carson managed to sway public opinion and even policy. #otd #history 🗃️
