Well, well… If the 14th amendment was not meant for modern immigrants, then the 2nd amendment was not meant for modern arms. #truth

Teaching AI literacy. (GenAI is wrong A LOT. And even though people tend to think it saves time, we now have randomized controlled trials that show situations where it takes *more* time even when participants self-report it's saving them time.)

I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using ai, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong".

Not only did the students discover that chatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realize that they should not use it as a primary source.

Had a feeling my #spotifywrapped was going to be on the atmospheric end, but not quite to this extent. That I've never played Outer Wilds or Into the Breach, but their artists and songs made it here amuses me greatly. Should probably pick those up at some point.

Spotify Wrapped output, detailing my enjoyment of Andrew Prahlow, Ben Brunty, Yuki Kaijura, Darren Korb, and Lifeformed.

This is a very good Pete Davis article and I can't help but conclude that a significant part of our post-midcentury atomization is a direct result of the increasing car-centricity of America. The car is killing us literally and socially. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

If I could make everyone at Democratic National Committee headquarters read one book, it would be Theda Skocpol’s Diminished Democracy: From Membership to Management in American Civic Life, published in 2003. In the early 20th century, according to Skocpol, civic life was mostly based in mass-membership organizations—religious congregations, unions, fraternal organizations (like the Elks or Rotary clubs), and political groups (think the NAACP or the League of Women Voters). They were made up of local chapters that hosted in-person meetings, managed annual calendars of neighborhood events, fostered friendships between members, and contributed to the places where they were based. These chapters are organized (or “federated”) into state and national conventions and committees. By pairing local participation with centralized coordination, the national leadership and the local membership could communicate ideas, concerns, mandates, and marching orders back and forth.

But American civic life started changing in the latter half of the 20th century. Mass communication became easier—and civic leaders fell in love with direct-mail fundraising campaigns. Federal politics became more complicated, and a class of expert activists who knew the ins and outs of legislative advocacy started professionalizing in Washington, DC. National groups began hiring “donor management” and “member relations” consultants to get the most dollars, votes, and petition signatures out of ordinary citizens. Civic organizations started wondering why they were bothering with all the local pageantry and community-building in the first place. Soon enough, Skocpol says, “membership” no longer meant meeting up with one’s neighbors; it meant being on a list—a list of people who would send checks to national managers in centers of power in exchange for a bumper sticker, an annual report, and the occasional call to action to do a few days of door-knocking, phone-banking, or letter-writing.

Finally bothered to grab Factorio, and now I understand. The burning need to automate and make everything more efficient has a serotonin button now

So many drawings of Wasp. I hope I can speak for most artists. That seeing my characters drawn by others is the best gift. I will keep growing this collection as well. Along with my other characters. Thank you so much to everyone who has drawn/rendered my characters in the past
