Teachers bemoan how much their students aren't willing to engage with the work then use AI nonsense and not see the problem. That's just laziness.

Just listened to a football broadcast where they said "buckle up because now it's the witching hour, where wins become loses and loses become wins." Ok! "Cooper Rush has been benched after two interceptions and a fumble." This must be because of THE WITCHING HOUR!

I was in Oklahoma for the Thunder championship, and NYC for the Knicks. If the Timberwolves really want to win an NBA championship, University of Minnesota now knows what it has to do.

the thing about apocalypse ai people is that a part of them recognizes deep down that they are bad people, so they can only imagine bad futures. it's their conscience trying to warn them about themselves, but they can only externalize their feelings, not deal with them. imagine good things instead.

The current iteration of the Democratic party, along with the establishment center-left wing of the media, bear a huge amount of responsibility for the world we currently inhabit. Electing more of these jokers is just throwing up roadblocks to the real change that, at this point, must happen.

6/6 Solidarity means recognising the machinery before it reaches you. Disabled people and trans people are distinct communities with distinct experiences. But disbelief, humiliation and exclusion travel easily between minorities. What starts with one of us rarely ends there.

It hurts to see so many people I respect decide to simply accept that AI will always be a part of our lives. That's only true if we let it be true! I've never owned cryptocurrency, never did the metaverse, and never engaged with a single NFT. This shit is unprofitable and unpopular. We can kill it.

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

Boycott The New York Times
For years The New York Times has relentlessly pushed anti-trans propaganda, playing a significant role in the escalating genocide against us. It's far past time for a call to action: anyone who cares ...

genAI is rapist technology. lack of consent and thrill of domination/conquest is the feature, not a side effect. it's about taking and violating the sanctity of what's precious to others.

The only conversation worth having is how Black people are overpoliced & over-punished & held to different standards in all aspects of life. That there is an outrage when Black people transgress that isn’t there when their non-Black counterparts do.

I too had an extremely alienating experience upon landing at an Ivy, fresh out of a PhD, after growing up poor in the rural south.
I was shocked to find a campus rumored to be replete with Marxists and liberal indoctrination trainings was instead...

A fiefdom for the private equity, real estate, and trust fund folks of NYC to impose their views on every aspect of campus life. I found a beleaguered campus, w/well meaning faculty and staff cohort who knew they could no longer push on the ocean of conservatism that governed it.Billy Fleming @JooBilly • 6h
I saw Deans and Chairs hired bc of their fealty to these interests (or willingness to bend their schools/depts to them, censorship in overt and covert ways on faculty, and resources given/cut based on a willingness to serve folks who, for instance, funded Trump Super PACs.

I saw faculty careers detonated because of minor conflicts with these ideas/ personalities, surveillance of all forms of electronic communication used to tank T/P cases, and students disillusioned by a campus so obviously beholden to conservative forces.

No one wants to publish stories like this, because they don't serve the interests of those same conservative forces who make pubs like the Atlantic possible.
Always a lane for laundering cruelty and evil unfortunately.
