Such a bad idea. The most consistent finding in LLM research is that it replaces thinking for students. Students who get access to AI and then have it taken away perform considerably worse than students who never use it.

This guy (in the first photo). Joey Marsocci - @grymmstudios. I love him so much. He created something truly magical. An exhibition that recognizes the human spirit - transformation from trauma; transformation that occurs not only by creating art, but by creating community and connection.

“it won’t hold up in court” sure! but remember the other day how i was like “you’re a criminal as soon as they need you to be” & how they’ve been all “oops, she shouldn’t be in prison but nothing i can do now”? wouldn’t you like to not have to worry about that? maybe make a cathartic, angry call.

Abducting people to concentration camps. Wiping their asses with the 14th Amendment. Ignoring and mocking court orders. Now they’re using bullshit “laws” to arrest judges upholding real ones. Immigrants aren’t the target, they’re the test. This is real fascism. Get in the streets NOW

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores.

This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.

One of the best ways you can help disabled people and fight fascism is by wearing a mask. Representation and visibility matter. When you wear a mask you tell us you care about making public spaces safe & accessible. You also make it harder for mask bans to pass. Mask up. We need you.

on giving away your attention & power from @jamiattenberg.bsky.social's latest newsletter

A screenshot with white text on a black background that reads:
"Look, there is being aware about what is going on in the world and there is volunteering your time to make a change (even if it’s just making *a phone call* or a *donation*), and then there is just giving up your energy and your brain power when it could be dedicated to your creative practice or acts of service or being present for people in your life. It’s your power. Use it wisely. You deserve the chance to achieve all kinds of success.

Do not give them your power. It’s yours. You need it. You keep it. Then use it."

!!! NEW: DOJ tells Judge Boasberg that he should CANCEL the 5 p.m. hearing "because there has been no violation of the Court's orders, and because the government is not prepared to disclose any further national security or operational security details." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Because there has been no violation of the Court's orders, and because the government is not prepared to disclose any further national security or operational security details to Plaintiffs or the public, the Court should vacate the hearing scheduled for this afternoon. The government does not make this request lightly. The Executive Branch has designated TdA a foreign terrorist organization, a designation that Plaintiffs do not challenge. The course of these proceedings in
which the Court has enjoined removal of aliens whom the Executive Branch has determined are part of a foreign terrorist organization raises extraordinary concerns about the rule of law and the Executive Branch's ability to take swift actions to keep the Nation safe.
