Action Network petition: Cancel ChatGPT Edu. Invest in Humans. In February 2025, the California State University system announced a $17 million contract with OpenAI to provide ChatGPT Edu to all faculty, staff, and students on its 22 CSU campuses as part of a larger βAI-Empowered Universityβ initiative. This is the largest contract ever established between a university system and an artificial intelligence company. Despite the name, ChatGPT Edu is not educational technology. It is a general-purpose chatbot that is not designed, trained, or optimized for education. Beyond its privacy and security features, ChatGPT Edu is identical to the free online version of ChatGPT. ChatGPT Edu does not use reliable peer-reviewed sources to answer students' questions and is indifferent to whether its answers are correct. Experts argue that ChatGPT Edu is harmful to academic working conditions, diminishes the quality of teaching and learning, introduces new forms of discrimination, and is dangerous to students' mental health. Recent polling shows that CSU students share these concerns, with the majority of students expressing that they are worried about the negative impacts of generative AI on human creativity and the environment.
Cal State Universityβs deal with OpenAI β providing ChatGPT to all faculty, students, and staff β will expire in June 2026. Amid the prospect of layoffs in the CSU, weβre asking the chancellor not to renew this costly and demoralizing contract.

A letter to the London Review of Books magazine, reading: 'I recently told the following joke to a rather unreceptive audience and was advised that it was βmore of a London Review of Books sort of jokeβ. So I humbly offer it to you. Q: What do you call Santaβs little helpers? A: Subordinate clauses. Jerry Beere'

Congrats to @stanchion.bsky.social and @writesloud.bsky.social for making the 100 notable small press books list for 2025!
A reminder that gas-powered leafblowers are nightmare devices that are bad for you, bad for your lawn, and very bad for the environment. They fume and scream and kill the world all so you can messily and ineffectively move leaves around, leaves which are generally supposed to stay where they fell.
He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.
Remove him from office.
