I want to take Chris's point 1 step further as there's an interaction effect that'll also be in play. At the same time that the decision to remove tenure for civilian faculty at the military schoolhouses, we've got a full on push to use AI for everything. These two together will be disastrous. 1/

I’m seeing a lot of posts about talking to your sons in light of the Cornell article. And yes. Talk to your sons. Here are some things you should say, based on anti-violence research about what they need to hear:

I think there’s an interesting sociology research question in people’s inability to just say “Oh no. Someone on earth doesn’t like my life choices.” while also describing themselves as “independent-minded” and the like.

Mr. Mask, you are confused. the only creatures in bunny suits threatening field workers would be actual bunnies. to charge actual bunnies with wearing "bunny suits" is redundant.
Dr. Masked Defender @MaskedDefender • 2h
LOL. You all think field workers and meat plant workers and hotel maids are OVERPAID in America and we should bring in 50 million migrants to lower their wages. Shame on you.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

This is the best piece I've seen on the role that Heritage Foundation has played in the assault on public education. This did not come out of nowhere; it was a plan that was decades in the making, the seeds planted a long time ago and it's been the Trump admin that has allowed them to flourish.

Meanwhile in Watertown, WI, the same school board which banned the band's music is now stopping the theater company from performing a teen-edition of "Flashdance." Apparently fascists just struggle with the performing arts. Which is why we need more of them in school... www.tmj4.com/news/dodge-c...

Highlights the big problem with youtube/spotify though: Their algorithms reward being generic. If I stuck to telling the same WW2 or WW1 stories or whatever, the Untitled History Podcast would be in EVERYONE'S recs. Whats the fucking point though? So yeah. Spread the word. The algorithms won't.
