Gracie Abrams says on Popcast that the nepo baby discourse surrounding her is appropriate:
“The nepo stuff is obviously in the discourse appropriately. I think about the privilege there, and it’s like, I had a safety net, and that allowed me the ability to experiment and to concentrate and I had the gift of time to dedicate to doing this thing I loved. I wasn’t growing up afraid financially, and that’s the biggest deal.”
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
once I realized that my ADHD requires chaotic discipline not regular discipline, I started feeling better. This means some days I’ll be on fire and some days I need to be a potato, and being a potato some days helps me be on fire other days. Not everyone can or needs to optimize every fucking second of every day for productivity.
Dear white women. The Handmaids Tale did not "predict the future," it is without exaggeration based on the real treatment of Black and Indigenous people thru history. It HAS happened, its BEEN happening, its just for the first time it is happening to YOU. Get it together.
