Union organizer. Rogue <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/philosopher" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#philosopher</a>. Sometimes a dev. Pretty good with data. Math, physics, evolution, ice cream & justice. Also sci fi, poetry and tennis. On politics. Most of my focus every day is political, more or less; and am glad to connect with folks offline. I do not do a lot of political posting on social media principally for my mental health. As a Jew, I do post in opposition to Israel's ongoing genocide against Palestinians.

wtf is this really? &quot;Complimentary water is available on site. Free hydration stations are located throughout the Washington Monument grounds. Every generation gets one moment that they remember for the rest of their lives. ..&quot;

Anthropic is upset about plagiarism. Erm. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/technology/ai-distillation-china.html “These distillation attacks are carried out illicitly, systematically and at industrial scale to harvest U.S. A.I. capabilities across frontier labs and repackage them as their own,” Anthropic told the two senators, referring to companies on the frontier of A.I. development.

Americans, please write your Senators and member of Congress this morning. Here&#39;s the link: https://www.congress.gov/contact-us Put in your zip code; write your note. For example, here&#39;s mine. Feel free to crib - staff will count them up by topic, and they take notice if the numbers are higher than noise. Dear Senator Husted, Trump says &quot;a whole civilization will die tonight.&quot; He is plainly threatening to unilaterally initiate a nuclear war. It is on Republi...

Easter Prayer Where are You When in Beirut and Luhansk In Rafah and Tehran An RTX +1.49 (+0.77%) Tomahawk Flies to a school And explodes Where, when a white-tufted cock pisses one Man&#39;s name in the snow, shakes and Takes aim at the moon Are You? And where when the grease gray cock crows twice Ejaculates the Prayer for Overwhelming Violence In Your Name Are You? Your Daughters and your Sons: For whom do they suffer? Does each complete a Trinity? Every school is a cross Every child...

Epitaph on a Tyrant Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after, And the poetry he invented was easy to understand; He knew human folly like the back of his hand, And was greatly interested in armies and fleets; When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter, And when he cried the little children died in the streets. W. H. Auden, 1940

I am not a Christian, but .. is there a point at which a broader Christian community in the US thinks maybe the guy saying &quot;I&#39;m glad he is dead&quot; isn&#39;t actually divine

@davidsuculum I wonder if there&#39;s a bit of a blind spot where physics geniuses like Carroll may not realize that phi sci and metaphysical questions may need to be approached quite a bit differently than physics questions. His stand on &quot;brute facts&quot; seems to me to reflect a blind spot like that; and similarly Krauss in A Universe from Nothing, where he Krauss ends up relying on a multiverse+anthropic principle that doesn&#39;t really answer the question.

Swelling Flea is back - the fully-functioning union-themed parody of NYT&#39;s Spelling Bee. Can you make it to a First Contract? https://swellingflea.com/swelling-flea Rules in alt text of the image, if you need them. I wrote Swelling Flea when NYT tech workers went on strike and called for a boycott the games - including Spelling Bee. I missed the Spelling Bee so I created this union version for addicts who aren&#39;t picket-line-crossing-scabs. NYT tech workers aren&#39;t on s...

Swelling Flea #game today, since I edited and loaded new games. This is the union-themed parody of Spelling Bee. I have already heard about &quot;raab&quot; and how it ought to be included. Apologies for neglecting the foodies today. https://swellingflea.com/swelling-flea I have an #accessibility question in the alt (repeated from yesterday) - but that&#39;s my main question today. I attempted to make the board accessible, but it would be quite easy to simply create a second view o...

Visualizing $1 trillion. The entire agricultural output of the United States in 2024 was $624 billion. I can&#39;t stop thinking about one man eating all that food. It&#39;s 2.7 million cows and 13,600 veal calves. 11.5 million hogs, 173,000 sheep. 9 billion chickens. 200 million turkeys. 26 billion gallons of milk. Nine billion boxes of eggs, a dozen in a box. The entire production of corn, soy, and other non-meat products on 240 million acres of farm land. And after he eats it, he...

An artist in Athens Ohio wrote a song called the soon-to-be-world-famous-pancake-song. You will hear it someday. You all will. That&#39;s just the nature of the soon-to-be-world-famous-pancake-song. Every month or so I re-post my soon-to-be-world-famous work of rogue philosophy. There&#39;s a lot of dingbattery about, and even more wingnuttery; and I count wingnuts and dingbats as family and friends. This is not that; but... how would you know that? So: I challenge you to enjoy this in...

This week I had a bug where my API container was deploying without incident and crashing a second later when /health was checked. The issue was that the crypto provider was not initialized, which caused a panic as soon as /health was checked - it was an ordinary bug. Because the container started, but then crashed on health check, and it was deployed to #Google #CloudRun, CloudRun kept restarting the container while I was asleep. And crashing it, hitting /health. Then Google&#39;s AI must...
