"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.

This might sound harsh, and judgmental, but if video is your preferred way of getting information about a topic, you’re a fucking moron

Social media is a nightmare of misinformation and anger and hatred but the thing I can't stand the is it turned so many people into obstinate dicks. You can be wrong! You're allowed to learn new information and course correct! That's a strength, not a weakness!

You're probably not going to find my No. 1 album of 2025 on anyone else's Best Of Hip-Hop/Rap list. But I can tell you that the artists who've topped some of CABBAGES' previous year-end lists are now staples of other outlets'/journos' year-end lists. So... www.cabbageshiphop.com/2025-best-hi...

The current bench is a pube on the Coke can of democracy

i've said it before and i'll say it again: the next administration needs to remove the fascist sc judges and reverse all the 6-3 judgments they've made

I am a suicide attempt survivor so I’m kind of selfishly interested in prevention and, again, while it may difficult to completely prevent IDEATION, what ChatGPT does (despite guardrails!) is *cheerlead and facilitate* completion. You can come back from ideation but not a chat-optimized completion.

my favorite albums of the year:

wish he'd said this before dsa voted not to endorse chi osse's primary bid

Same principle as resisting the urge to dunk on right-wingers and bigots. Them people don't care about why you're engaging. They just want the engagement, because it serves them either way.

dunno if i'm really allowed to say anything about this yet but i just got an email that test presses for something new and exciting have shipped, watch this space

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...

really doing my best to volunteer to drive on this road trip so i can avoid my brother-in-law's shitty taste in music and failing miserably

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

*taps sign*

teen at a pizza spot complimented my hair, then when i thanked him, he said "it's very nickelback," and now my day is ruined

“This is not the path less traveled, it’s the math that unraveled. Adding up to a broke remote that can’t change the channel.” Norm Macdonald Reels Another Nowhere out now everywhere via crushr.records

each day i see something thought through get paid dust while somebody in y'all rogues gallery rules engagement. it's easier to get eyes on some chaos and it really boils my blood pals.

it's always writing y'all hate that travels furthest and fastest here, same as anywhere else

The public option for K-12 education should be the only option. No private primary or secondary schooling in the US, period.

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

I can’t remember the last time I legit cried laughing at something but the second verse of this song has done it

There are no words for how evil this is

Too high to move… Jesus looking down like, “Yeah, I would do that shit too if I was you.” Norm Macdonald Reels Another Nowhere crushr.records

hell fuckin yeah today ruled

Get Giuliani in there and a Bravo TV crew and we got ourselves 6 seasons of TV. At least. Cuomo yelling at Giuliani for playing his porn at full volume on his phone because he's hard of hearing. Rudy microwaving fish and Cuomo yanking the plug out of wall and throwing the appliance to the ground

literally watched a speaker in a truck supporting the republican candidate for city council here talk about him being for the safety of people as the truck was backing up into two people crossing the street at a crosswalk

Rest well, Jun.

dick cheney dying on election day is extremely auspicious

This is another thing I’ve been telling people since the early 2000s, and so many of my friends are *just now* starting to get it

every news outlet and journalist who calls trans rights a losing issue should be forcefed soap and their own regrets

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

give your money to the Astoria Food Pantry. This week, I doubled my monthly contribution and I learned that my company provides a match of up to $1,000 per year.

New song out with EMERLD pen-pals.bandcamp.com/track/myth-o...

I released Hella Personal Film Festival 2 exactly 5 years ago today It was made in the first few months of pandemic as a response to all that It’s still available on all the streams distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

i cannot fuckin wait for people who don't live in new york to stop talking about new york elections

happy halloween from the ss zohran! very excited to make cuomo walk the plank. (not my house but i love my neighborhood)

a trans girl in college committed suicide days ago amid discrimination against her easily tied to this administration’s policies. npr and other media should cover that too

One MORE reason we have to crush Cuomo at the polls is that if we DON'T, and we successfully primary Schumer, Gillbrand, and Golden, those clowns will be tempted to come back and run as third party candidates as well. Enough. Their time is over. www.zohranfornyc.com/volunteer/ev...

If you see someone stealing food - no you didn't.

The American media decided Jenny McCarthy had a good point about vaccines even though she's not a doctor and now 15 years later we have an entire culture war on intelligence and science. Access journalism being treated as anything more than entertainment has destroyed this country.

New episode is here! Tomorrow Kings members SKECH185, Gilead7, Collasoul Structure, and I.B. Fokuz join us to talk about “SALT” their first new album in 12 years! Then we discuss their album pick for this episode - Illogic's "Celestial Clockwork" Listen! tr.ee/NIOJMFACvP

honestly the only piece worth reading on the platner situation. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is absolutely cooking here. (gift link)

It should go without saying that these mass internment camps will be much, much more expensive to operate than just giving the homeless free or subsidized housing would be.
