What if the world is already in the midst of an energy transition? How would this affect the way we understand current events, aesthetics, fast-changing social and cultural trends?

Orban was a cornerstone of the international anti-trans movements. Hungarian trans people were among the early targets of his authoritarian regime. It'll take a long time to come back from it all but I hope Hungarian trans people sleep slightly better tonight.

The opening of this post (clearly bought-and-paid-for by the corporations who are heavily invested in AI), is so ominous. 1. There are lots of opinions about AI. 2. You, though, should hold only one of those opinions. (that AI should be integrated into the classroom.)

If these are the positive examples of responsible AI use we are in deep trouble. Training students to please the AI assessed rubric. There’s no long term future for teachers in this vision.

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

Powerful stuff from our students: "AI cannot coexist with education — it can only degrade it.... With our own university leading the charge, AI is now corrupting those few sacred spaces and leaving us with nowhere to engage in true scholarship."

Lately I’ve noticed a lot of people mentioning their surprise at discovering, after probing, how much their students resent AI in education—even if students feel obligated to use it. We really shouldn’t assume we know what they think.

Look at this: @inquirer.com has digitally preserved the interpretative signage removed by NPS, and used annotations to explain what specifically was flagged before removal. This keeps the content publicly accessible (for now) while doing newsworthy reporting www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

[bursts into the room] [extremely elder millennial voice] You know, Milwaukee is the only American city to have elected three socialist mayors. Also, “Milwaukee” is from “mili wau kay,” which is Algonquin for “the good land.”

It is hard to overstate the stress produced by the incoherence of academic institutions pumping generative AI when they want to play business and then leaving instructors to deal with the results when they want to play school

It will never not be depraved that universities sanctioned and participated in the harassing and criminalization of student activists for saying one day we would all be against this when now, suddenly, everyone is against this.

There is no special primary status for alphabetic scripts above ideographic ones, iconic signage, mathematical and scientific notation, or charts and diagrams. We read them all; none of them are subordinate to another, except out of literary and cultural prejudices

Only just now discovering this Lucille Clifton poem dedicated to Clark Kent.
if i should

to clark kent

enter the darkest room
in my house and speak 
with my own voice, at last, 
about its awful furniture, 
pulling apart the covering 
over the dusty bodies; the randy
father, the husband holding ice
in his hand like a blessing, 
the mother bleeding into herself
and the small imploding girl,
i say if i should walk into 
that web, who will come flying
after me, leaping tall buildings?
you?

For what it's worth, this is precisely the reason the Klan wore hoods when they terrorized communities and disappeared unfavored minorities. Historically, it wasn't called doxxing it was just recognizing a fascist community member.
