This company makes a cute little tool for silencing AirTags and they absolutely do not care that they are helping people to create perfect stalking devices. sixcolors.com/post/2026/10...

Silencing AirTags enables stalkers and domestic violence

ElevationLab has released an AirTag product I find appalling, and I strongly urge they immediately withdraw it from sale and recall all inventory. The AirTag Silencer is a simple device: remove the…

So I just did a search for "Cornell" on the entire @chronicle.com website, and it doesn't mention the #rape case AT ALL. Zero coverage? I knew The Chron had chosen the wrong path a while back, but not THIS bad. ?? @kevinmkruse.bsky.social @thetattooedprof.bsky.social @bethmcmurtrie.bsky.social

Thinking a lot lately about the men I know who are willfully ignorant about power dynamics and how I don’t *know* they’ve done anything specifically worse than be willfully ignorant about power dynamics but also if I had to guess which of my acquaintances had, I’d guess them first.

If any newscaster needs, I have a parrot you can talk to. . . . I should clarify: not the kind of parrot that can talk, but it a living creature. Also I'm 99% sure the parrot isn't shilling anything.

Higher Ed orgs are enormously complicated bureaucracies, it's a wonder they work* at all. To understand their inner workings one must follow the money. As such, where the money comes from and where it's going are treated as two secrets that can never be know by one person. *for some value of work.

Oh. That's a heck of a subsidy.

At MIT, Harvard, or any other school, supervising an undergraduate researcher is a lot of work, costs a lot of money, involves a lot of meetings, and the results are not reliably excellent. Asking Claude is easier, faster, and may produce better results. It’s also cheaper, which is no accident: Harvard allows every Harvard student and faculty member to request a Claude token budget of $2,500 per month, even as research funding is continuously threatened and the University lays off staff.

This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."

An AI thing I keep seeing that just super grosses me out is people taking classic comic strips, running them through AI and reposting them. An example:

Two Calvin and Hobbes comics, the original and one that has been run through AI to add backgrounds and more "detail"

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

I know I’ve made this point before, but I want to make it again. We all have ideologies, and we all have politics. The idea that we don’t is naive at best, and disingenuous at worst. All claiming otherwise does is disguises our own ideological position, our own Overton Window of preferred politics

I hope we learn what happened here, but it feels like a huge systems issues somewhere that this happened. If you have a system (or a leader) that can let mass unenrollment happen you have a failure. In a properly functioning system a series of people would have been able to pull the brakes on this.

This is *essential* reading. Many of us in Mississippi have been shouting into the void that the "Mississippi Miracle" is a mirage created by an increase in standardized test scores that does not map onto meaningful learning, particularly as it relates to reading comprehension.

Across the top and bottom reads in white handwritten all caps type, "I wish you all would love disabled people like you love disabled animals." In the center is an illustration of Jimothy, a raccoon with a spinal syndrome (SSS) that gives him a shortened torso. Surrounding him are different illustrated accents and flowers. To the side, reads the artist credit @CourtneyAhnDesign.

I want to say this as calmly and carefully as possible. I'm a film industry professional who is extremely aware of movie cinematography, film formats & aspect ratios. I saw "The Odyssey" (2026) with my family at a regular movie theater, digitally projected at the 1.85 aspect ratio. It looked great!

In 2014 this was considered humorous, in the near future we will wish that our tech billionaires had simply wanted to turn us into dinos instead of spending all their money on doomsday bunkers and data centers.

Spiderman asks a dinosaurman "Why are you turning people into dinosaurs, with this tech you could cure cancer?"
Evil dino man responds: "But I don't want to cure cancer..."
