β€˜I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI As AI has upended the way students learn, academics worry about the future of the humanities - and society at large

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

My kid was most surprised at how little the teachers did to protect the girl, but also at classmates who mostly just shrugged or also welcomed him back. Sadly we spent the day talking about the culture of male impunity.

For International Women's Day, I had to explain to my youngest why the school welcomed back with open arms a boy who punched a girl he had long been harassing. He got to come back and even go on another trip while my kid's friend spends the remainder of her senior year in online school.

They are suggesting the present generation of consequence is those ages 40-55 and talking about the parents of that Gen, though they would still be mostly wrong.

Iowa and New Hampshire Signal Right Wing Intent β€” Assigned Leading Off: The Iowa and New Hampshire Houses pass some of the most aggressive anti-trans policies yet seen in the US.

The relentless march of anti-trans bills in GOP controlled states continues. Iowa is attempting to ban cities and counties from protecting trans Iowans from discrimination within their jurisdiction. New Hampshire is attempting another bathroom ban.

The answer is yes. The SAVE act pressure is heating up while we are in the fog of war for a reason.

This too is likely part of the motive for the ADOS/FBA online campaign to have existed in the first place.

Cosmically, there is something very darkly funny about spending an entire decade of American politics obsessed with repudiating the mistakes of the Iraq War, and then immediately doing it again at the first opportunity, but with even less justification, planning, strategy, or foresight.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

The last minute legal wrangling was obviously a test to see if they could mess with elections this way and they can. Expect strategic targeting of election rules in specific Dem leaning counties as one of many tactics to be deployed in November.
