    This is stunning. We've known for at least a decade that opioids were a huge problem. Yet, US prescriptions keep going. 5% of the world population, consuming 80% of prescription opioids.

    Which is just to say that over and over our worries about the future keep revealing themselves to be utterly parochial anxieties about the present.

    I keep thinking about the scenarios that the long term nuke waste storage WIPP people dreamt up as potential incursion risks and my favorite is the postmodernist feminist collective that doesn't believe in phallocentric science and so ignores the warnings.

    In a lecture years ago, points out that singulatarians worries about accelerating intelligence always mean 'what we currently value as booksmart' but what if super intelligence meant you were really good at dancing or had crushing moments of self revelation and empathy?

    "What if AIs find that racism is real?" "What if AIs enthusiastically embrace cancel culture?" "What if AIs concludes that capitalism was a mistake?"

    People get mad when AIs do or say politically incorrect things. What if it's hard to prevent them from drawing such conclusions, and the easiest way to fix this is to teach them to hide what they think? That seems a scary skill to start teaching AIs.

    This is phenomenal hustle. Feels like a throwback to early Web 2.0.

    So the new place all the Instagram Hustle Bros/Dropshippers are buying press is the USA Today Classifieds section. In between ads for cars and housing, are tons of spammy articles like this which they use to boost their SEO

    One property of an unfree press is that getting news from outside the country is nearly impossible. The US cobbled that together accidentally. Living here, it is very easy to fall into only consuming news from and about the US.

    My favorite genre of tweet is the ones that say "covid is here we need to just live with it and not live in fear," instead of taking their heads out of their own asses and realize other country's have contained it and wondering why haven't we.

    Two recent things that have improved my experience of using a Mac. 1. I think it was who shared that you can send all your screenshots to a custom folder in your dock. 2. This app lets you choose the browser to open links from Zoom or whatever.

    I am definitely "we should split up"

    What tired horror movie trope are you? I’m either “car won’t start,” “no signal cellphone” or possibly “murdered while having sex.”

    Do I know anyone who's had success using Canvas to manage courses? Has anyone got an example of a well setup Canvas course? One that looks nice?

    I just learned new things about the plague.

    This is the letter to that I sent in response to a recent article about the Black Death, and the numerous errors contained therein.

    Cluster-hiring is an interesting approach to diversifying a workforce. Instead of bringing people in one at a time to be chewed up by the institution's culture, you bring in a group at once to collaborate and support one another.

    I am extremely interested in these ideas.

    If you're interested in these ideas—how disability is the engine of powerful ideas in our shared built world, I wrote a book with dozens of examples. People remaking their worlds! Everyday products + furniture + housing + infrastructure + more more:

    Prediction: thousands of teachers will die this fall and thousands of signs saying “We 💗our teachers” will sprout like mushrooms across the country.
