📅 17 September, 1939 – The Soviet Union invaded Poland Hundreds of thousands of Poles were deported, many were murdered by the NKVD, and the country faced a desperate fight on two fronts. Their courage and suffering will forever stand as a testament to the price of freedom. 🇵🇱

Modern life seems so dreary because we are ruled by people who are actively hostile to beauty, literature, poetry, who think you should exist solely to write emails. It wasn't enough to create AI; they want humanity itself to be soulless, mechanical, hollow.

Even in death, the rich cannot give up their grand houses, cannot stop playing their hierarchical games. Ostentation unto the tomb seems terribly tawdry. No part of my imagined afterlife involves having to remind people of any wealth or status I enjoyed in life. – #CLNolan

Hesse goes on to say that the ancient religions knew something we’ve forgotten: that the written word is sacred. “Without the word, without the writing of books, there is no history, there is no concept of humanity.” We have to resist the bookless world they’re trying to birth.

Tech boosters keep saying, “The advent of AI means you never have to read again!” and I can’t help thinking of what Herman Hesse said, “Even the most childish intoxication with progress will soon be forced to recognize that writing and books have a function that is eternal.”

Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.

Deeply concerned to hear about the deeply concerning GPS interference that diverted @vonderleyen's flight. Europe stands united in expression of deep concerns and must commit to the deployment of ever-deepening concerns moving forward.

The failure of oil refineries and now military plants to pay workers for months on end is a bad sign for the Russian economy and war effort. 1917 calls for 2025 Russia. "At first slowly...then all at once."

I’m old enough to remember American commentators asking, every time Putin did anything increasingly authoritarian, why Russians weren’t out in the street protesting and toppling the dictatorial regime. Wondering what they’re thinking now—and why they’re not asking that about…

There’s a pernicious idea in the tech world that humans are only “moist robots,” but you are more than just a sentient machine. You need food and friends and sunlight in order to flourish. You need art and leisure and literature. You need natural splendor and other people.

I also hope that maybe they would log out and spend some hours in reading and careful reflection, but maybe I expect too much.

I hope everyone who spent the past month telling me “AI is the future, get onboard or get left behind!” will acknowledge that this is a bursting bubble, that there’s no future in the plagiarism-generator, that they’ve invested their hopes in a lie and need to rethink their life.
