Chicago Public Schools enrollment dropped 11,537 students this year, continuing a decades-long decline amid a shrinking number of school-age children.

The FOIA Bakery has an op-ed in today's issue of Board Rule where we argue that annual stories about declining enrollment at CPS are actually about white fear

Plus, school funding is based on property taxes, not enrollment. So let's stop telling scary stories about declining birth rates.

These tools are associated with what I consider bad politics and ethics for a number of reasons (in addition, I am a hater). First, while LLMs promise labour free writing and content to the end users, they rely on exploitative labour practices. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

I’ve been fully brainwormed by @anthonymoser.com’s observation that Altman only has three facial expressions, so now whenever I see a photo, I note which one it is (here: ‘processing bad news,’ with overtones of ‘saw a ghost’; the third is ‘jackass’).

What is the point of these stories? She earned a big pension because she worked for the city a long time. She retired and is owed her pension. She also got a new job working somewhere else, and her new job is paying her, as jobs are supposed to do. What part are we objecting to here?

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

wtf is this preview image? they took a "processing bad news" shot of altman and like photoshopped it in behind an arm and whatever is happening on this petri dish? bizarre, but also looks like they did it manually so points for that i guess
