Human beings are not only language machines. We are physical beings trapped inside limits, and those limits create drive.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Turning in my Keys I officially retired on Friday, January 2, 2026. I finished the last tasks of my β€œtermination” that morning. I took the last load of stuff out of my office. I left my laptop at the tech…

Weird how The Free Press was able to publish all of these without comment from the Washigton University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Every country has a powerful right wing that argue β€œif you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave”

We need to start calling their bluff.

We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Trump takes a personal plane from Qatar

Qatar gets a training base in Idaho

Argentina gets 20 billion

Our troops are NOT getting paid nor are our federal workers

What exactly are Trump and Republicans' priorities?

This is OpenAI attempting to force the law to develop in their chosen direction. Opt-out is simply not how American copyright law is currently structured.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its ownβ€”it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.
