- You should read @alicefraser.bsky.social's lovely and sorrowful and human piece on Bondi Beach & then reflect that it's the sort of communication that's only possible when you don't view everything as an online argument that you have to win at all costs. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- How likely is ‘likely’? Does ‘likely’ have a higher probability than ‘probable’? I put together a quick quiz so you can see how you interpret probability phrases, then see how you compare with others: probability.kucharski.io

View full threadGiven the way that they are founded on the theft of intellectual property, commandeer public water resources and contribute to climate collapse, we do not think that there is an ethical way to use AI 'tools'. I will continue to reject work that uses them.

- ❌ Let's stop dividing migrants into 'good' vs. 'bad' Racism and ableism dictate who is seen to fulfil the criteria of the “good migrant” versus the “bad migrant”, and by extension dictate who is deemed “deserving” of rights and respect, and who is deemed “unworthy”. Read more: buff.ly/hWgshcZ

- i wasn't gonna post about it but seeing that a LOT of people have declared UA's run with steph curry to be a failure and I think the total opposite I guess I should. look everybody, signature basketball shoes are a vestigial remnant of when hoop shoes—current hoop shoes—were the top of the market
