Don’t really get the how could this happen type responses to Cornell. The President is a rapist and remains in office. He bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, and people dismissed it as “locker room talk” and elected him. We accept and protect predators at the highest levels.

Do not understand people trying so hard to live through this sort of event. Always seems to be kinda miserable going to great lengths to prolong life too. Let the nuclear attack or whatever take me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

How did Sociology become the hate piñata of Concerned Pundits on the education beat? The past month saw calls in the press for the discipline to be "liquidated" bc it's a "scam." My theory: it's bc we expose the harms of inequality. Me in today's @economist.com:🎁 www.economist.com/by-invitatio...

Why is sociology the hate-piñata of the social sciences?
Accusations that it is thinly disguised socialism are wide of the mark, writes Brooke Harrington

This is exactly why I’ve become anti computers in schools. Big tech removes parental and educator control, where there is no room for middle ground. If it’s all or none, then let’s do none.

Increasingly feeling like the best way to get reliability out of AI is writing deterministic code with a UI to interact with structured data. So using AI to move things away from AI basically 😂 It can be ok for unreliable things but very few business functions where unreliability ifs good enough.

Um what?! There is nothing “vague” or YIMBY about environmental and water complaints. AND, it’s not just the data centers being “present.” It is that they get insane tax breaks WHILE straining natural resources and infrastructure. They should be paying handsomely, not getting freaking tax breaks.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.
