evacide<p>I did a lot of talks on student surveillance last year, including talks aimed at college administrations trying, to convince them that turning the campus into a surveillance state was not a good idea. I have not been invited to do a single talk on student surveillance in 2025 for some reason.</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/us/universities-students-search-warrants.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nytimes.com/2025/03/29/us/univ</span><span class="invisible">ersities-students-search-warrants.html</span></a></p>
Dan Goodin<p>A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile, email account, and phone number removed by his employer Indiana University, and had his homes raided by the FBI.

(((Cindy Weinstein)))<p>You read that right. 75% of scientists are considering leaving the US. Forgive me (not really) if I'm struggling to understand exactly how this is making the US anything other than diminished, stupid, and ill.</p><p><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00938-y" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/d41586-025</span><span class="invisible">-00938-y</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NSF</span></a> <br><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NIH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NIH</span></a> <br><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a><br><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a></p>

Pottery by Osa<p>I live in a coastal town and draw tons of inspiration from water. We went for a swim today and I could feel the relieving effect the crisp water had on my body. Like everyone, I worry about plastic. There’s always some type of litter at the beach. In a few months, it will be hurricane season during which time we have to confront the raw power of nature and the consequences of living out of balance. I’m here for it all, good &amp; bad, peaceful &amp; terrifying. I’ve never felt so connected to a place.</p>

I find it weird how many people refuse to believe we live in a racial and gender caste system whose wealthy white nobility control both major political parties.

White Americans are so heavily propagandized and so inclined to go along because they think they're proximal to power.

Trump doesn't comprehend soft power because it requires vision, patience, and an ounce of humility — qualities he neither possesses nor respects. And while he plays the strongman, the rest of the world sees what he is: a small man screaming at a mirror.

The Index. · Donald Trump is Too Weak to Understand Soft PowerDonald Trump is too weak and too insecure to understand soft power. He defaults to tantrums, threats, and brute force—because it’s all he knows.

There’s an ongoing joke in Star Trek where replicator food is considered inferior to hand prepared meals.

Replicator rations are perfectly balanced, produce exactly what asked for down to the molecule. Nothing more, nothing less.

But it is soulless.

Anyway, thinking about AI.
