If this is the direction the industry rewards, why should any public school treat AI as a trustworthy partner? #edtech #AI #education

WSJ: Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...

Repost with an iconic fictional band:

Appalled to hear that instead of releasing #Saudi human rights defender Mohammed al-Bejadi at the end of his term in arbitrary detention he was sentenced again, now to 25 years in prison, on so-far unknown charges in an unfair trial & in blatant contradiction with international human rights law

It is clearly deeply annoying for a sociopath when a human collapses nearby and distracts attention from him.

Sudan's army has lost its last foothold of el-Fasher, in Darfur, to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Now warnings are mounting of a second genocide as mass killings unfold before the world.

Wow. Looks like Bill Burr really made a difference when he completely sold out. /s alqst.org/posts/1133

This Is It Top Gun Trump thought Kenny Loggins would say "I'm alright" having "Danger Zone" playing in a video where he turns a peaceful protest into Pooh Corner. That's what a fool believes, Donald. Kenny may have a footloose, but he doesn't have a screw loose. by Maureen Dowd

For those of you who paid attention in your high school English class, the part of “Emmanuel Goldstein” is being played by George Soros these days. The exact same playbook from the novel.

The voting for The 10th Annual Esports Awards just opened up, and it seems they left out some important categories this year. Such a missed opportunity. So I fixed it. Presenting: The Bill Burr–Hosted, Turki Alalshikh–Produced Esports Awards That Should Actually Exist. #esports esportsawards.com

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Trump didn’t win the peace prize. Be ready for a full weekend of tantrum. And we all suffer for it.

Trump ran a great campaign for Machado’s Peace Prize.

Mutual admiration: Anti-slavery campaigner Frederick Douglass and his connections to Daniel O’Connell and Ireland

What’s a true shithole country? One that zip-ties children’s hands and puts them in cages. One that sends people to a mega prison in El Salvador without due process. One where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents wear face masks to conceal their identities. And so on...

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

I’ve been offered a ton of money to do a comedy set aboard the Borg Cube

If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia. It’s really that simple. (So many shameless hypocrites around.)

Saudi’s PIF has poured billions into LIV Golf; yet the UK arm lost $461m in 2024 alone, pushing non-US losses past $1bn. This isn’t a “golf revolution.” It’s a state-funded vanity project burning cash while Saudi people pay the price. www.ft.com/content/d619...

"It’s easier to talk here [Saudi] than it is in America." ~Dave Chappelle (Not yet, at least)

At the Battle of Cable Street on 4 October 1936, at least 100,000 people, including Jewish residents, Irish dock workers, Communists and Labour Party members prevented a march by Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists (BUF) from passing through the East End...

“The Saudi Crown Prince is trying to whitewash his regime’s tyranny by weaponizing culture and popular culture against his citizens. We must not launder MBS’ regime and that includes entertainers, politicians, and the media.” @leahremini.bsky.social www.thewrap.com/leah-remini-...

Age yourself with a film you saw in the cinema as a kid

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

Nancy Mace went on TV and told pregnant people not to take Tylenol and to take ibuprofen instead. And, I cannot stress enough, HOW STUPID THAT IS. Ibuprofen is PROVEN to cause fetal complications. Has been for years. TYLENOL HAS NOT. EVER.

Charlie Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA, continued its national tour of college campuses with a stop at Virginia Tech ahead of pivotal elections in the state. Conservative media pundit Megyn Kelly got into a heated exchange with an attendee over political violence. https://cnn.it/4pFvqvJ

The Clever app has become my educational "put a bird on it."

I’m adding to my dissertation a citation that is simply “my stylist told me.”

Welp @danbernstein.bsky.social was right about kicking this year in the NFL. That 60 yarder by Boswell had plenty of room on it. The new prep rules for k-balls are going to scoring go through the roof.

A 1941 WPA road gang of migrant workers in New Mexico, many of whom were simultaneously working as farm laborers. Trump would have deported all of them.

Reports claim ex-diplomat Abdullah Al-Shammari, once close to King Salman, was executed on “pre-packaged” charges; raising fresh questions about due process in Saudi Arabia. sowtalnaas.com/posts/1081

Saudi Arabia executed 8 people in one day: 4 Somalis and 3 Ethiopians for smuggling hashish, and one Saudi for the murder of his mother. This shocking surge in drug-related executions raises alarming human rights concerns. www.middleeasteye.net/news/saudi-a...

@philrosenthal.bsky.social and @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social I have a few suggestions for other ideas Manfred could dove tail off of from this marketing... um... coup?

Best baseball gif in a long time. Fly the L! Brewers win!

RIP Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg. What a fabulous man.

Very happy to see Andrew Vaughn enjoying his time with the Brewers www.mlb.com/video/andrew...

Trump will spend his weekend promoting a new golf course at his resort in Scotland – costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million. After this jaunt, he will have spent at least $52 million of taxpayer money on golf trips. If that’s not fraud, waste, and abuse, I don’t know what is.

Welcome to Leo Season! ♌️

Congratulations to Tipperary on the GAA win! 🏆

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

Remember Your Heritage

This is how sportswashing works. “If we show up in Riyadh and participate in esports, maybe it’ll spark change.” How’s that working out? @juliedicaro.bsky.social @leilarahimi.bsky.social #esports #esportsedu www.readergrev.com/p/esports-wo...

The Esports World Cup is back in Riyadh. So is the silence. No apologies. No tangible reform. No mention of Manahel al-Otaibi, still imprisoned by the House of Saud as a terrorist for demanding basic human rights. #Esports
