Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

It is challenging at first... and then you get the employees who regard all feedback as suggestions, and for whom corrective conversations are water off a ducks back.

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today

A white cat is sleeping curled up in a med that has five fluffy white lobes of a flower petal, the cat has half her face peeking upwards and otherwise has filled the pentagonal space in the center of the bed completely

Remember this when pundits and politicians tell us it would be a "weaponization of law enforcement" to hold Trump officials accountable for their crimes. *This* is what actual weaponization looks like.

Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.

researchers gave raccoons puzzle boxes with marshmallows. even after eating the reward, the raccoons kept solving puzzles. Chancleta is appalled. dress this up how you will: these raccoons are embracing unpaid labor. they must stop being wreckers and develop some class consciousness.

The rush to accuse, without anything approaching due diligence, artists of using "AI," should be treated with contempt. An artist gets their work *ripped off* to train a plagiarism machine, which then shits out inferior versions of that work, so then you accuse the artist of using "AI"? Fuck you.

It really is interesting how we don’t call, say, a journalist who wrote a pop-sci book on galaxies an ‘astrophysicist’, or a retired banker who wrote a pop-psych book on personality types a ‘psychologist’—but the media call any rando who writes a book on something in the past a ‘historian’.

High school teachers, I respect the hell out of you and know you are in the trenches doing the hard work. But I am *begging* you to stop telling your students to email a professor to sit for an interview or to guide their special project. I already have my own students. I’m not looking for more.

At this point, with the AI companies admitting they cannot always predict or control the products, the default should be that the user and company are jointly and severally strictly liable for harms to third parties.

I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!

The fact that this is imaginary is perfect. The whole premise is based on a fantasy that the optimal form of public education is the midpoint of a polarized society. Just split the difference between the science of climate change and the lobby of denialism.
