Rosemead Police/HSI/or ICE Bust
I don’t know if this is Homeland Security, but the video says it is. Is it ICE? This happened in Rosemead on Encintas and Mission up in the north side. The cops broke the surveillance camera before breaking in. (If the creator needs to reach me, my tiktok is @johnisveryboring.) My sentiments exactly. This is…

Draft: Unions Should Own LLM Models
During the WGA strike of 2023, I was shitposting saying the WGA should have their own AI, because studios were threatening to use AI to eliminate writer jobs. Though I was a newbie with Large Language Model (LLM) chatbots, and I’d only read cursory descriptions about how they worked, it was pretty obvious that they…

A simple refutation of the “Supply and Demand” argument about how new apartment construction will lower rents.

Orientalism: Music, Edward Said, 1 Year of the Israel-Gaza War
(Before digging into this, I’m not going to pretend I’m not an ignorant Orientalist. I have been for most of my life, and I’m listening and reading to overcome this racism. Just because I’m “an Oriental” doesn’t mean I am not Orientalist. -jk) Orientalism explained through Western ideas of what Eastern music sounds like. A…

Do All Asian American Political Orgs Look the Same? (Bing AI confuses two organizations)
Searching for “asian american advocacy fund”, with the intent of looking for The Asian American Advocacy Fund, which is an organization in Georgia that activates AAPI voters, brought up references to The Asian American Foundation, aka TAAF, a recent astroturf project to represent the interests of centrist, rich Asian Americans.

2024 Election Battlegrounds
Polling in Battleground States Harris and Trump are very close in the battleground states (obviously – that’s the definition of a BG).
