St. John’s University in New York No Longer Recognizes Faculty Labor Unions St. John’s University’s recent decision to cease recognizing faculty labor unions after 56 years stirred a conversation on Catholic social teaching.

“Father Brian Shanley is violating New York state law & ignoring decades of St. John’s institutional practice & centuries of Catholic social teaching around respect for labor & workers."

— Sophie Bell, St. John's University AAUP President

On top of all of its other disastrous effects on the environment, the economy, education, creative fields, and many more, perhaps GenAI's most odious characteristic is how self-referential all of this is. "We need to train people to use GenAI so that they will use GenAI." Blech.

Go see my darling @csecooney.bsky.social !!!!

AI is not inevitable. Nothing in human societies is inevitable because we design them. Healthcare can be free for the public. Books can be bought instead of bombs. Universities can be free for students, and they can even receive a stipend to live off. Don't let companies dictate the future.

Live in the New York City area, and curious (or deeply concerned) about GenAI hype?Then join us for a conversation with @edzitron.com this Monday, March 9th at 2 p.m. ET at St. John's University! It's free and open to the public; all you have to do is RSVP with this QR code, and we'll see you there!

Yeah, it's pretty silly.

A flyer describing the event "Generative AI: Talk with Ed Zitron--Ethics, Economy, and Education in the Age of Big Promises." It lists the date and time as Monday, March 9th, 2026 from 2-3 p.m. EST in St. Augustine Hall, 2nd Floor CCC, on the campus of St. John's University in Queens, NY. After several bullet points describing the event, there is a QR code with the word "Register Today!" pointing to it, followed by a few places where Ed Zitron has previously appeared.

Some good TTRPG watching ahead, though! :D

The index of authors is insane: here's the index of authors in full. Each person was asked to write a short piece about one specific thing they care about. The result is a book about EVERYTHING.

(And it's affordable, < $20 paperback)

Huzzah, it hath arrived!

Hope you're feeling a little better today!

I didn't have the "Linux is completely user-friendly now as long as you let an LLM theft machine run it for you! :D " hot take on my bingo card, but apparently some folks who can't stop asking everyone to implement their open source OS into everything want the black box theft machine to do it now?

Good morning teachers. It is only March. Drink water. Eat real food. If you can, lock your door for 15 minutes at lunch to breathe, stretch, nap, whatevs. Don't forget the healing power of 5 minutes of fresh air. We still have many rivers to cross. Let love be our foundation.

The Authors Guild is now offering "Human Authored" certification marks for literary works in which "the text itself was fully authored by one or more human beings and not generated by AI." What a time to be alive!

Interesting!

I'm looking forward to more from the "roguehate" genre.

I mean, a) this sucks, and b) it was also the case when I was a kid, so why haven’t we fixed it in 55 years?

side jobs my high school teachers held:

- gunsmith
- bartender
- MLM sales (quite a few, specifically Amway and Avon)
- roofer
- lifeguard
- realtor
- private driver’s ed teacher

Yes, clearly we should blame Democrats after the Republican President, aided by a supine Republican-controlled Congress and a Republican-dominated Supreme Court, launched a needless war like every other Republican President of the last 50 years. For the love of God, learn what a false narrative is.

oh hey look more proof positive that the best response to a trump lawsuit is “fuck you, make me.” hope everyone who gave in without a fight feels like the utter rubes they are.

Odd that he hasn't been able to think of creative ways to get people to listen to this case.
