I spend a lot of my work time with 20-somethings, this seems plausible.

I thought I was off-beat for loving twelfth night but reading this thread I guess we are legion.

I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

I know β€œshort and sweet” is an idiom but bombing school children is pretty much the opposite of sweet. These ghouls.

I hoped this is what would happen in Chicago but that hasn’t been my experience. Still not in favor of mass incarceration though.

Same. And sometimes my students with accommodations ask for something that helps everyone because they’re good at self-advocacy and I didn’t think of it until they brought it up.

To your point, I have never once wished for extra time and therefore do not feel disenfranchised when other people get something that helps them that I don’t need or want. It’s like complaining about highlighters or something.

They love to elide social transition and medical transition too. Or pretend social transition doesn’t exist because it’s not medically supervised because it’s just haircuts and pronouns.

I did not know what Palantir was until right now. Maybe this is how we get an LMS that only sucks a little?

Better yet stop using ai at all

Seems like you have some good options. If you’re going to be in the suburbs I’ve been meaning to try this Yemeni place maps.app.goo.gl/iFs9VjJUepzD...

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Remarkably similar to the representation in left behind even. (Not my theology either although at this point I’m reconsidering)

Thinking a lot about the families who lost people advocating for a future during the Iranian protests who are also now losing more of their future while the US and Israel bomb elementary schools.

Time to Fight: H.R. 7661 Call To Action

Art matters. And what do we do with things that matter? We protect them.

Here is information about H.R. 7661, a US book banning bill that explicitly targets books about trans people, and what you can do right now to help stop it.

Yeah it’s a fun format! I call it graphic nonfiction because it’s not actually a novel but students like it. It is tricky for them to take notes or study from though.

What the heck? Media malpractice.

Brooke Gladstone The Influencing Machine has been a hit for me. It’s over a decade old but that kind of gives it more weight.

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

Oops I think he just revealed he’s never read a paper past the first section or two.

They should try it with preschool teachers too

Tim’s been saying this for years and he remains right.

I sincerely hope posting about it in frustration flips the switch for you. I still can’t remember what β€œbegging the question” is without looking it up though.

Lots of adolescents don’t really think past β€œI’m saying something that will get a reaction.”

Humans are an end in themselves; ai is a means in search of an end.
