Perry: Will the AI backlash leave low-income students behind?
Wealthier schools are at the forefront of focusing on a more human-centered education that in some cases is cutting out AI altogether.

I am tired of having to pretend that the value of studying my discipline solely rests on the "marketable skills" we teach. Sometimes things are just worth knowing and doing because they make your life bigger and richer.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

context. sentiment. inferences. People seriously cannot do these things anymore. That’s why they angrily demand you spell out every joke, every reference, super duper promise you mean something only this one prescribed way. They cannot do it for themselves or tolerate the any ambiguity.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

These folks pick and choose when objects have agency. Their toys might be taken? “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Their toys may not make back their investment and they need a bailout, “AI will kill us”. It’s so weird how the choice of agency always shields them from responsibility.

This has gotten worse in the last decade or so. It’s become difficult to talk with people I genuinely like. And the moral binary of typical/divergent has codified into the belief that it’s more important for people to talk than it is for others to feel heard. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I always try to mention Melissa Barrera the past two years because she was the first celebrity casualty for simply speaking out against genocide. She shared an article by a scholar and that was enough to cancel her. I hope people give her the spotlight and some love. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Here's a gift link to my 9/11 essay in the NYT. Civil libertarians long warned that before giving government new powers, we should consider how an administration with authoritarian ambition might abuse them. We were told that America was too exceptional to elect such a person. Well here we are.

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.
