So, the online platform for teachers making college recommendations now includes an AI tool, which they refer to as a "Recommender Agent." It's called the "Intelligence Studio." That's a lot of doublespeak for letting AI cover for overworked teachers and fewer counselors due to cuts.

Ofc I hope it doesn't work, but the con that taxes on the rich might hurt everyone has worked before. Many Chicagoans opposed a one time tax on houses over $1 mil because they were convinced it could apply to them or hurt small businesses. Now they face tax increases partly because that prop lost.

"When the German Jewish exiles Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff founded Blue Note Records in 1939, the original investment came from a communist activist, Max Margulis." He wasn't mentioned in that Blue Note documentary. Red scare reverberates forever, I guess.

Lisette Model was targeted for Communist/leftist affiliations in the '50s and her postwar jazz photography project lost its funding (an alleged letter condemning Model's politics from her editor at Harper's Bazaar didn't help). The images have finally been published www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Notice the redistribution happening. Around $100 billion going back to companies that were taxed, most not planning on bringing prices down, while inflation continues, Trump boasts about more gov revenue (that can fund war and shock troops) while bribing us with refund checks for votes.

These people sat quietly while Trump insulted fellow reporters, some tossing a softball follow-up to keep on his good side. Failing to act in solidarity when a few experience early targeted attacks is selfish and enabling. Access means nothing when you're insulted for anything short of sycophancy.

A screenshot of a social media post thread on a dark background.

At the top, a post from account username "amberbutcher_realtor" asks, "Would you buy a house where someone had been murdered?" Below the text is a photo of a two-story brick suburban house with a lawn and garage, taped off with yellow police tape reading "CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS."

Below the main post, a quote-reply or comment from account username "theghettoactivist" reads, "Y'all be having weddings on plantations 😒".

Kind of funny that BBC reported on this. One city where I lived in China, my favorite jianbing vendor used poppy seeds. Her stall had the longest line in the morning, I think because she had the freshest ingredients and variety, but a local told me it was the opium.

For a magnetic Frida dress up set, they went with the less threatening anarchy symbol (general "anti-authoritarian" punk aesthetic) over the hammer and sickle she actually wore. Funny and telling.

A new Civil Rights Act will not fix this dynamic. A new VRA will never repair it. The system we have is designed to preserve whiteness & wealth. At every opportunity, it has reflected this design feature, seeking to preserve repression under the *language* of rights & equality.

I love how All In showcased how you can do a quality supercard without a lot of hijinks or meme moments, just great matches and in-ring storytelling. The surprise return was in the preshow, the debut was heavily teased and leading to a title change and a lot to look forward to, and the rest just 🤼
