This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

Hogere operationele kosten en het feit dat de marathon georganiseerd wordt door een commercieel bedrijf. www.ad.nl/regiosport-r...

Nope. Start instead by addressing the pay gap in teaching (and other "feminized" professions). And stop denigrating educators by blaming them for problems they didn't create and can't be expected to solve on their own.

well well well if it isn’t the consequences of their actions

btw, these films make a beautiful case against AI: they're such a pure example of how art is enriched by the labour required to produce it, as well as the physicality of the tools used to create it

I am (hate) reading Richard Dawkins as research for my new book and it is even worse than I expected! After reading Thiel and Pinker I thought I could handle anything, but this is something else!

Look at all that DEI sending astronauts around the moon.

Deep respect for @olivia.science and @dingemansemark.bsky.social who are fighting the hard fight of going against the bias of their own institution!!

Well, at least the Strait of Hormuz is o Oh.

Of course AI will "think" this is real as it is just copying text from files we feed it!

Vergeet de dreiging van een nucleaire oorlog, zijn jullie al in de vakantiestemming, Moppies?

Everything else aside, Altman is battling Kash Patel HARD for title of Man Always Surprised By Photographer.

"You don't know my new AI model. She lives in Canada."

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

God, I love her so much. Just banger after bager. She's in it purely for the love of the game and I respect that.

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

Meth, measles and black mold can also spread rapidly in schools. This means they must be important for educators to integrate in the classroom! That’s just logic, which Randi has definitely mastered.

Octavia E. Butler said, “These novels are not prophetic. These novels are cautionary tales… The problems that I write about are problems that we can do something about. That's why I write about them.” And “I hope they're not prophecy because I don't want to live in that world.”

If the wealthy can get you thinking about who deserves basic needs and who doesn't, they win. They don't care if you think wealthy people are the ones who don't deserve; establishing that it must be earned is the key. With that done, they can just keep expanding the definition of "undeserving."

Skipped a week, sorry non-Dutch friends! But this week's newsletter is translated again! www.felienne.nl/2026-14/#eng... (Including a translation of my opening remarks in The Dutch Parliament this week on AI in schools)

I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.

I like that the lack of witnesses is what makes this claim doubtful

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

what next? what, are we gonna provide *roads* for the wealthy too? gonna have health inspectors keep contaminants out of their groceries? are we just gonna have gutters and sewer systems around rich people's homes?

Woensdag mocht ik spreken in de Tweede Kamer over AI in het onderwijs en dat vond ik heel spannend! Ik heb geprobeerd te pleiten voor onderwijs dat juist niet gepersonaliseerd is maar menselijk en gewezen op de voordelen van het "ouderwetse" boek. Immers, daarvan gaat de batterij nooit leeg!

The new guy in charge of prosecuting crimes in the Epstein files.

Vance's release date is June 16! Also searching communion by bell hooks or communion book hooks, etc. is a fun and free way to keep hooks near the top of search results.

The TikTok girlies (gender neutral) are hatching a plan to all buy copies of communion by hooks on Vance's release date. I will be participating.

The answer, it will not surprise you, is mostly "have a wife and servants"

In another timeline, this would have been an absolute epic April fool's joke

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

this is HILARIOUS therepublicjournal.com/essays/ai-an...

www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros... is it good to build an entire economy and software infrastructure on this

It is so striking how all this resembles Covid so much. The primacy of the power of positive thinking, arbitrary deadlines where they announce something out of their control to be over, large portions of media/business believing them, because "wouldn't it be great?"

"nearly a dozen leading models were highly sycophantic, taking the users’ side in interpersonal conflicts 49 percent more often than humans did — even when the user described situations in which they broke the law, hurt someone or lied." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/w...

Heel, heel helder verwoord, @felienne.bsky.social

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

Dutch Techbros at it again: "The arrival of AGI is the most radical change our generation will live through" The audacity of this, in the middle of impending climate crisis and the world's most powerful country sliding into fascism more everyday... Absolutely astounding archive.ph/A0hMu#select...

An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it. From the Penn student paper: www.thedp.com/article/2026...

One might have thought, in the spirit of metascience, that whether/how Arts and Humanities are amenable to metascience tools would be a question to be tested, but it turns out that's a non-starter for the 'Centre for British Progress'. Sounds more like 'M/meta' than 'science'? 1/2

Great summary of my talk today! You can read more and download the preprint here: www.felienne.nl/paper-the-co...

Big Tech’s AI tools trained on Western data often can’t recognize local crops, forests, or farming conditions without adaptation to local environments https://restofworld.org/2026/ai-agriculture-local-data/?utm_campaign=row-social&utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social
