Giving everyone what they want isn’t “democratizing “

Just saw a Meta AI ad and the theme song they chose was David Bowie Five Years. It’s all just a doomsday cult.

Elon Musk's role was 'instrumental' in the Belfast riots, researchers say
The newly crowned world's first trillionaire is once again facing criticism over the violent narratives he amplified on his platform X.

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

I’ve been thinking about the intellectual and affective labor involved in reading AI Generated student papers. I’m forecasting a little of the proposal that @cnygren.bsky.social and I advance in a piece that’ll be out soon but here’s where I’ve personally landed (o speak for myself not for us both):

Today is the anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Not only did the law literally open doors to countless students with disabilities (myself included), it also had the unintended consequence of creating the moral panic around an autism "epidemic." 🧵 1/

@sonjadrimmer.bsky.social So is AI the final death blow to public education? Will it be used as a tool to separate the general public from educational resources resulting in extreme class division? Is this the goal of tech-utopia proponents? www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/u...

How refreshing it would be to read something like this in a major newspaper! presswatchers.org/2025/05/the-...
Donald Trump has no coherent plan, other than self-aggrandizement and self-enrichment.

He is making this stuff up as he goes along. He is impulsive and changes his mind constantly. He lies pathologically and is often incoherent. He promotes actions that are overtly illegal. He is hostile to every form of expertise. Others, most notably Elon Musk and Stephen Miller, are making decisions in his name that he doesn’t seem to know or care about.

Asked if he has to “uphold the Constitution,” he replied “I don’t know.”

He is also flailing. His approval rating is badly underwater. Judges have blocked many of his most consequential actions. His impetuous tariff proposal is backfiring massively, leading him to lie about imaginary trade deals as the economy teeters. Ordinary people are getting outraged by the administration’s hate-fueled cruelty toward nonwhite immigrants. His self-dealing is increasingly overt.

Your regular reminder that Elon Musk has no authority to cut Congress's budgets nor to fire people.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94. His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.
