Sunday Taquitos #30: Flock This! Art by @ivan-ehlers.bsky.social

A cartoon of two people standing under a flock camera speaking to each other. The man says “I’m fine with mass surveillance ‘cause I’m not doing anything wrong.” The woman responds “… Until someone changes the definition of what’s ‘wrong.’”

Since deleting Instagram from my phone, and limiting my overall social media time, life feels less noisy. I spend my down time in my garden with my dog, watching the birds outside, and actually taking in movies or shows because I am paying attention. It's nice. These apps steal our time.

1/ Elon Musk wanted Texas legislators to create new crimes so people who fly drones or interfere with operations at SpaceX can be arrested. And he wanted to change who controlled the highway and public beach near SpaceX’s site so he can launch his rockets according to his timeline. He got them all.

Table titled "Bills Musk companies took a stand on during the 2025 Texas legislative session." It shows how 2 Texas House and 2 Texas Senate Bills that SpaceX supported all passed. These bills urge Congress to make spaceports eligible for tax-exempt private activity bonds, ban/criminalize drones over spaceports, give the Texas Space Commission power to close highways/gulf beaches near SpaceX's launch site, and define spaceports as critical infrastructure. At the bottom of the graphic are the logos of ProPublica, Texas Tribune, and KUT News.

One of my favorite works by Frida Kahlo is one of her least well known: this image of a red, white & blue window display made during her visit to Detroit in 1932. I take this mysterious work as a critique of patriotic imagery, the foreground elements juxtaposed with the empty, abandoned space behind

Tomorrow begins Exploring the Ethics of AI, a three-day professional development that I'm leading for local teachers. We'll be grounding our learning about and against AI with a little history :)

A slide with the title "A very brief history of AI and educational technology". The year 1956 appears in the upper-right corner. Below the year is a screenshot of the proposal for the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence. Next to the screenshot proposal is a photograph of seven white men who helped organize the conference. Below the photograph is an excerpt from the proposal that reads, "Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it."

A slide titled "A very brief history of AI and educational technology". The year 1985 is in the upper-left corner. Below the year are the words, "Joseph Weizenbaum's interview in The Tech". On the slide's right side is an excerpt from Weizenbaum's interview.

A slide with the title "A very brifef history of AI and educational technology". The slide has four images of books. The books are: "Oversold and Underused: Computers in the Classroom" by Larry Cuban; "The Charisma Machine: The Life, Death, and Legacy of One Laptop per Child" by Morgan G. Ames"; "Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can't Transform Education" by Justin Reich"; and "Access Is Capture: How EdTech Reproduces Racial Inequality" by Roderic Crooks. Beneath the book covers is a quote from Roderic Crooks that reads, "Part of what makes access to technology so appealing is that it offers a way to address inequality among minoritized peoples without having to identify or name the racism and structural oppression that shape the life chances of all people."

A slide titled "A very brief history of AI and educational technology". The year 2024 appears in the top-left corner. Beneath the year are the words "Tech bros come for education (again)". In the slide's center is a screenshot of the book "Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (and Why That's a Good Thing)" by Salman Khan. On the slide's right side is a tweet by Palmer Luckey that raeds, "What will happen in broader academia when clear scientific consensus is that AI-assisted education delivers better outcomes than 3.8M teachers currently do?". The tweet is retweeted by Elon Musk with the words, "That is already possible."
