I firmly disagree with this, not vaccinating your children is profoundly anti-social, we should not excuse anti-social behavior or, assuming that people are of sound mind, be sympathetic to it.
There are guidelines that you can read, your child has a pediatrician much smarter than you, that's it.
3 questions that appear the end of my article for Edutopia on AI concerns with teachers
We are certainly at a crossroads around AI in education (and likely will be for some time) but I continue to think the focus needs to be centered on the choices ADULTS are making, not the students
Three questions I think are worth asking any educator using AI in their work right now:
Text from OpenAI article on its educational programs: "Agency does not emerge from basic AI use alone. Students must progress from simple tasks to deeper applications such as studying, building, creating, coding, and managing agents. But among college-age users, we see a widening global βcapability overhang,β defined as the gap between what AI tools can do and how people actually use them. Even advanced student users still operate roughly 90% to 99% below how power users of ChatGPT are engaging with our tools. Educational institutions play a central role in closing that gap. Faculty and educators can help students harness AIβs full potential by embedding authentic AI use cases into courseworkβassignments that use AI and mirror real professional work, such as analyzing a market, designing a product concept, evaluating a policy trade-off, or building a simple agent"
Shouldn't let OpenAI puff about education get to me, but its claim students need AI skills for future jobs and "agency", then letting slip it really means making students into GPT "power users", and making that an educational imperative, *and* planning to measure it ... π¦ openai.com/index/ai-edu...
If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kΔkΔpΕ chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
You can tell that the US blew up that school because everyoneβs doing everything possible to find a way to disqualify the obvious. The country that was bragging about knowing everything it hits suddenly being quiet and wanting to move past the situation while its journalists blame the AI system? Ok.
finally watched Casablanca. wild in this day and age for something to actually live up to the hype
The purpose of a system is what it does!
"Journal articles arenβt [scholarship]. Theyβre just a unit of measurement. Theyβre how we keep score. Producing journal articles isnβt what we are actually meant to be doing β weβre supposed to be learning meaningful things about people, power, and society."

GLAAD MEDIA AWARD WINNER: OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK Avengers Academy: Marvelβs Voices By Anthony Oliveira, Elsa Sjunneson, Carola Borelli, Bailie Rosenlund, Pablo Collar, Charles Stewart III, Alti Firmansyah, Minkyu Jung, KJ DΓaz, Ruth Redmond, Dono SΓ‘nchez-Almara, Ariana Maher, Joe Caramagna (Marvel Infinity Comics)
I am so thankful for the gift of this recognition on behalf of myself and all of the crew on Avengers Academy. We strove week after week to make art worthy of our community β to deepen and enrich the world for queer, trans, and HIV+ representation and readership, to insist we belonged in these worlds of fiction and in the world that dreams them. We wanted both to illuminate queer stories told long ago and to trailblaze new paths forward. It was not always easy, but it was always worth it. I am so proud of this work, and so honoured to have it so celebrated. Thank you. Thank you to all the impossibly gifted collaborators on this project for all your brilliance, enthusiasm, and generosity: our regular artists Carola Borelli, Bailie Rosenlund, and Pablo Collar; our colorists KJ Diaz and Ruth Redmond; our letterists Ariana Maher and Joe Caramagna; as well as our numerous guest talents β who enriched this book week after week with their gifts and perspectives. Thanks too to our editors, Lindsey Cohick, Sidney Stubbs, Wil Moss, and founding editor and Sarah Brunstad who willed this book into life. Time and again this book redefined what could happen, how it could look and read, and above all who could be in a superhero comic, and I could not be prouder. And, with great admiration and profoundest appreciation, thank you to my community, for always lifting me up. Finding all of you has been the great gift of my life. This category is full of the fellow artists who showed me there was a place for us to create and to live in this world, and I live in the enduring blessing of their work. I said it when we ended, and I will say it here again: comics will mend your heart, if you let them. When I was a scared, lonely, closeted kid, the Marvel universeβs heroes were there for me when very little else was. That is a debt I can never pay back, but one Iβve tried with great travail to pay forward. I want to believe we have afforded a little of that same refuge to those who sougβ¦
Amazed and honoured that AVENGERS ACADEMY has won the GLAAD Media Award for OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK!
This book pushed every boundary in this industry, and I am so grateful for the gift of these talented collaborators and this generous, uplifting community of readers. deadline.com/2026/03/glaa...
Anyway your broader point remains valid.
Here we go. In a letter she tells him to stop being antisemitic because she herself was Hebrew: deepcuts.blog/2021/09/25/h...
As far as I know she was born in a Jewish family in Ukraine, although they got married in a church, so I assume she wasn't practicing.
in this case, it's pushed a lot of assholes like Ryan Grim to run around telling Jewish people that they're wreckers and fools for being concerned about a Nazi tattoo!
She had to remind him that she was Jewish!
two astronauts scheduled to go up on the same shuttle mission in 1992 got married 9 months beforehand but kept it a secret from everyone bc NASA wouldn't have let them go up if they had known. do i have to draw you a diagram

Holy shit
Hamlet is a tragic hero BECAUSE he's a petulant little shit. It's the 16th century equivalent of hubris.
He is trying to seduce her in that speech, but he's not able to come out and say it directly because his language must be closeted. It drives her mad because queerness is the disruption of the heterosexual identity matrix.
The mutually contradictory elements of the speech are what draw your attention to the inability of language in the play as a whole to produce a straightforward meaning.
Hamlet's inability to sleep with Ophelia is also a function of this doubled language.
It's because of the doubled/ambiguous language Hamlet uses throughout to hide his sanity/madness; doubled language that we are first shown through Polonius's speech to Laertes, and of course Polonius dies in a closet.
He's definitely better when he's played at a pathetic loser because he is one!

Hamlet is secretly also about queer closeting but also: bsky.app/profile/ghos...
Extremely bummed to learn today that Thomas Jefferson didn't actually smoke weed, as I thought he did, because the Internet is full of lies.
Dammit I shoulda called this piece 'Would the Founding Fathers Have Puff Puff Passed, and Other Hard Questions for the Supreme Court'

this applies to students "who aren't sleeping enough" too
"The working classes have always been the caring classes β not just because they do almost all of the caring labor, but also because, perhaps partly as a result, they actually are more empathetic than the rich. Psychological studies show this, by the way. The richer you are, the less competent you are at even understanding other peopleβs feelings. So trying to reimagine work β not as a value or end in itself, but as the material extension of caring β is a good start." . - David Graeber
Itβs not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You donβt dispute this claim because itβs true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by βIranian state mediaβ
Remember when Ro Khanna spent a night weirdly replying to our barely even mild criticism of him last year anyhow I thought that was extremely embarrassing of him, as embarrassing as it gets, but now the New York Times is reply guying & it is so so so much more embarrassing of them than it was for Ro
