"Palantir. Neurodivergent. Fellowship."

"Hey kids! Wanna be a boot? 😃"

Plus: Not "neurodivergence" as if valuing qualities you hold. Not neurodiversity, as if seeking community (plus that icky "diverse" word). Not "ND Peoples'." Neurodivergent. Singular.

That is some shit-tier pandering guys. F-

Hey folks, I’m seeking examples of Black women or femme artists who incorporate electronic textiles or other types of physical interactive electronic art into their practice. Thank you!

So important that European educator unions are getting together to agree ways forward on AI in both schools and HE - and especially that they are *not* partnering with big AI firms as the US teachers' union has done.

The Free Speech Crisis for Black Americans Is Worse Than You Think Don’t let Jimmy Kimmel’s return fool you: Black academics are more frightened of talking to the press than I’ve ever seen.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired

A screenshot from the article "The The Internet Doesn’t Exist in the Sky: Literacy, AI, and the Digital Middle Passage" by Mia Shaw, S. R. Toliver, and Tiera Tanksley. The screenshot shows two side-by-side images. The image on the left pictures a figure standing on a stage speaking to people. The figure is saying, "On this day, we come together to dream of technology anew. On this day, we force the Symbiote corporate organism out of our lands, out of our bodies. On this day, we break the chains of algorithmic oppression. Together." The image on the right pictures a Black teenage girl with her arms crossed over a shirt that reads, "Oh my Lorde". A speech bubble above the girl reads, "An interesting speech, Id say." The girl says, "Yea."

And then there's this amazing academic article/short fiction/comics piece, "The The Internet Doesn’t Exist in the Sky: Literacy, AI, and the Digital Middle Passage" by @miasshaw.bsky.social, @srtoliver.bsky.social, and @drtanksley.bsky.social.

Since tomorrow is Labor Day and school is in session, I'd like to argue (again) that teaching about GenAI should include discussion of the extractive, exploitative labor conditions that make the technology possible. 🧵

#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
