Say it often, say it loud: "Overall, research has not supported the common-sense presumption that digital approaches to schooling are better than non-digital alternatives. At the broadest level, widespread computer use in education has been found to be associated with lower student achievement."

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

you cannot be disparaged by your own words... people cannot attack you with your own ideas if ones words are repeated and they are viewed unfavorably that is not a reflection of the one who repeats it is a reflection of the author

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

To gauge how it’s “working,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.

Disable ChatGPT this fucking instant. Destroy it. JFC.

This is why capital backed Trump and it’s why we’re not getting out of this by appealing to billionaires

You are not going to out "tough on crime" fascist Republicans. Because they don't actually care about *crime* - they care about racism and power.

mRNA vaccines not only stopped Covid in its tracks, they promised massive developments in other virulent diseases, including many forms of cancer. The Secretary of Health and Human Services has just dramatically increased the number of people who will die needlessly in the coming decade.

Boards of Trustees ***LIKE*** the Trump demands. They ***AGREE*** with them. They like the idea of putting the screws on activist, lefty, and Muslim students. They like the idea of a whiter student body and conservative curriculum. They want these things and think $200 million is a fair price.

Buttigieg said parents have legitimate concerns. To be clear: If you cannot be relied on to unequivocally defend transgender kids, you can’t be relied on to defend anyone or anything. www.advocate.com/news/pete-bu...

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

It will never not be depraved that universities sanctioned and participated in the harassing and criminalization of student activists for saying one day we would all be against this when now, suddenly, everyone is against this.

I wonder if leaders will ever admit that smearing all protests to stop the genocide actually contributed to the genocide. Will there ever be that level of self reflection and honesty or are we just going to get fake surprise like this after mass death.

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants. This is horrifying beyond words. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Every university that folds will be subject to the same extortion

*yells for the thousandth time* The states already control K12 public schools so dismantling the DOE reduces federal support for already underfunded and under supported k12 public schools. Hope that helps.

This leaked text from Mark Andreessen, explaining his right-wing radicalization, is a perfect illustration of my "long 2020" theory — that the current right-wing coalition is defined by its shared hostility to the events of that year www.vox.com/on-the-right...

Stuffing ai into everything “isn’t just a forecast, it’s a libidinal fantasy — a capitalist dream of replacing relationships with code and scalable software, while public institutions are gutted in the name of ‘innovation.’”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps

Really a sad way to go through life www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/b...

Once again, it must be said as loudly as possible: AI can't do the things described in this paragraph, and there is no pathway to it ever being able to do them.

I don't like the New York Times referring to regional public universities with their own presidents as "outposts." That comes across as very dismissive of the workhorses of higher education.

"I gotta say protect trans youth. I gotta say fuck ICE. And with my whole fucking chest, I gotta say free Palestine. Anybody watching at home, anybody walking by, you wanna know who said it, you tell em it's the mother fucking Wonder Years from Philadelphia." youtu.be/xIj2Ozlp1y8?...

openai is just looking for marks and suckers they can siphon money from. the thing doesn’t work and can’t make money, so they’re determined to make it everyone’s problem by selling ai cigarettes to kids and young adults

Guess that NEH grant we submitted to support first generation college students in culturally sustaining ways won’t be getting deposited into…our personal bank accounts?!?

Starting a SCARED STRAIGHT style program where pro athletes visit high schools across America to make parents realize their kids have no chance

Educators: Pls think about what it does to kids--who we want to develop trust in us, other good humans, and the larger society--to have adults hype up and direct them to use these deeply emotionally manipulative lying, thieving machines.

Seven of the sources cited in MAHA commission's report do not exist: “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with," says one researcher. www.notus.org/health-scien...

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

white supremacy and racial chauvinism remain the greatest technology invented for getting people to immiserate themselves for the benefit of the wealthy

DEI is weak reform, not radical change and even that was too much for some people.

“There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.” This is the energy I am trying to encourage people to cultivate instead of “they’ll arrest you next.”

NPR did a 30-minute interview with Steve Bannon in his podcast studio that aired just yesterday. PBS had on Chris Rufo tonight. Cozying up to these fucks won’t save you.

Trump has announced that his adminstration will no longer be enforcing the civil rights act because "merit" is when you can discriminate on against non-whites and get away with it www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

any Democratic elected who says they can't win the politics of "should we give Trump the power to disappear innocent people into a concentration camp" has a terminal case of consultant brain and should be ruthlessly hounded from office

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

I have zero patience for “do climate work but just don’t call it that”. I am not talking in code about an existential threat bc a handful of Americans like profiting off oil and gas & have managed to brainwashed another handful of Americans. Don’t capitulate. They’ll take your funding anyway.

The only way to interpret this is that the Trump administration is trying to close public schools. Which has been an open goal of conservatives for decades. They want to privatize education to resegregate on race and gender. And to ensure some people can’t access education at all.

Louder, for all the would-be capitulating university presidents at other institutions in the back

We hang together or we hang separately. Could not be clearer what is happening and how universities must respond.
