"his Jewish identity was not entirely hidden — it surfaced in scattered notices buried in the newspaper record... " (He was called the "Hebrew Hurler" in one headline, a "Spanish Jew" in another, bc Sephardi dad.) This was never a secret to be discovered, just racism that nobody cared until now.

Signing off this week by finally processing all the emotions I've been feeling since Wednesday. It's been nearly a decade since Andromeda, and after years of uncertainty as the BioWare was jerked around by EA, I finally have to grieve the series that made me who I am today.
starting from a pt of "this thing is ontologically evil" won't give u a useful framework for picking ur battles & just makes u look like an asshole demanding that volunteers burn more time so u don't feel icky. i don't even like using llms, but i do think uve gotta engage w/ the world realistically.
furthermore: bsky.app/profile/beat... i don't really think u get to complain about the tools folks use to fix this kinda thing until u've had ur day/night/morning/afternoon/night-again ruined by being on a sirt for a zero day
the Internet Archive thing is an example of the fascinating trend recently where people consuming products they’re not paying for seem to believe they also have the right to dictate how much human labor is spent producing them.

this more or less already happened in California due to Prop 13 in the late 70s and now boomers like Ray Warner pay effectively nothing in property taxes but people under 40 pay $10k-25k per year. every time a boomer says this, they’re trying to rob you.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.
