Something that I think we need to be clear about is that internet scholars (critical and otherwise) have made this clear for at least two decades and the rest of the academy (and the public) responded with a collective "what happens online isn't real," so forgive me if I'm like "water is ALSO wet."

Seems like there's a lot of chatter among folks looking to migrate off of bsky.social as a PDS, and out to other options. Friendly reminder for white people like me, that Blacksky is for Black folks. There's a related PDS for people that aren't Black too, but Blacksky isn't for us white people.

Like I said ... Think twice before you amplify thinly-source stories. Even if you're expressing skepticism, you don't want to give them more oxygen. One alternative: take a screenshot and draw a couple of big red question marks over it. Or, just don't amplify it!

Lots of accounts sharing misinformation for clicks + shares. This doesn't help anyone. "Salt trucks, routinely used in Chicago winters to combat ice on roadways, were not deployed this weekend to deter ICE, the city said, despite claims made on social media videos." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
nbcnews.com
No, Chicago is not using salt trucks to block ICE, despite viral claims
The city told NBC News in a statement that the salt trucks were there “to support public safety efforts related to a planned protest and the Taste of Chicago.”

i don't think most understand how big this is. currently, bsky forks do not give selfhosted PDSes the ability to use 2FA which leave users unprotected from brute force attacks; the fix below stops those attacks it also stops me from rotating my password every 120hrs to a new randomized password 🫠

Something I didn't get to say yesterday: We heard over and over during the event about "human-centered" approaches to "AI". But if refusal is not on the table (at every level: individual students and teachers right up through UNESCO) then we have in fact centered the technology, not the people.

Someone asked me what victory against the forces seeking to occupy Chicago looks like. Obviously, those forces being repelled is the goal, but there are layers to what success looks like in these deteriorating conditions. The first is to successfully resist the normalization of military occupation.

I maintain that "escaping corporate control" only speaks to people where corporate control is in their top 5 concerns in life The pitch I offer you is shared ownership of your community and curatorial control over your online experience. It presupposes escaping corporate control (means, not ends)

If you’re reading this snd preparing to ask “would you sacrifice a presidential win for trans rights,” I’ll save you some time: yes the fuck I would. Fascism in blue is still fascism and we should be clear that an anti-trans candidate is a fascist candidate.

To gauge how it’s “working,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.

I also really appreciate this advice from @emilymbender.bsky.social and @karenhao.bsky.social, which tracks with my own experience teaching high school students and college students and talking with my own kids. Emphasize environmental costs and - once more - that GenAI is *not* inevitable.
An excerpt from the op-ed "How Are We Supposed to Talk to Our Kids About AI?" by Kathryn Jezer-Morton. The excerpt reads, "For kids too young to connect with those questions, Bender suggests parents focus on the environmental impact. 'Every time you use a chatbot, you’re helping to build the case for the company to develop the next model and build the next data center. Data centers have to be cooled with massive amounts of clean water, and clean water usually means drinking water.' Whose drinking water will be diverted? Karen Hao echoed Bender’s advice: 'Parents should not express to their kids that this is inevitable. It’s fully a decision that they can inform themselves in making about how best to integrate these tools into your life, and maybe the right answer is that they don’t want to use them at all.'"
