Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

Trump: I am fine. You sound beautiful and cute. How old are you? Caller: I am eight

"Even after accounting for the upfront costs and delayed benefits, enrolling marginal applicants to public universities generates substantial net returns for society, the marginal students themselves, and the government budget." Public Universities FTW!

AI devalues the time and the effort -- the process and craft -- and the trial and the error of creative endeavors. "You want a thing? Here's a facsimile of work approximating your request." ... is in no way art, a defense of the arts, or anything like support for the arts.

You are painting a vision of a future in which teachers create lessons with "A.i.," students complete them with "A.i.," and teachers grade them with "A.i." No learning takes place under this system. The only benefactors of this system are the corporations being paid for the "A.i." products.

I'm just gonna write "$0, cuz Jesus" on my tax forms this year.

"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

Nothing is real. All is slop.

This is why, even though we are seeing 16+ point swings for Dems, we need to organize now and everyday to overcome the impediments this regime will certainly put in place.

Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Things we learn: 1. Bovino's existence is the result of chain migration, which MAGA wants to ban 2. His family arrived legally under an immigration law MAGA wants to repeal 3. His father killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which MAGA aims to deport immigrants And much more. Read it.

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

the AI industry powers authoritarianism, a necessity condition that allows the industry to steal, destroy the environment, monetize education, surround us with perpetual surveillance,... all uncontested www.wired.com/story/trump-...

Just say NO to the wand and magic franchise. You know the one.

Trump to America: drop dead

"Yes, but does it come with *enough* AI?" asked no one ever.

This is just my opinion, but I don't think departments need to change their strategy for reading or grading student work. Departments need a strategy for responding to harassment and attacks.

If a Psych prof assigns students an essay response paper with explicit guidelines and then flunks a student for turning in a paper that ignores those guidelines but instead makes vague gestures to "the Bible" then THAT IS NOT A VIOLATION OF THE STUDENT'S RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

The next few years -- among other things -- will be an exhausting exercise in exploring the difference between getting 'stuff' 'done' and doing meaningful work.

The mark of real power is what you don't do, what you wouldn't.

Just say NO to the wand and magic franchise. You know the one.

What a great headline

Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.” People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

As Thanksgiving approaches, I am thankful for this place, and the community that gathers here. The last year would have been truly intolerable without it. My best to you and yours!

The only people celebrating this horrific news are the people who already want more martial law.

NEW: The governor of West Virginia says that two members of the state National Guard shot today in DC have died.

Who's going to buy your hyper-productive AI goods and services when your hyper-productive AI puts a great many of us out of job?

Can't spell mAssIve unemployment without AI

Star Wars is the best Star Wars.

The Last Jedi is far, far superior to Revenge of the Sith.

In film too many confuse a pretty picture with a well-wrought story.

Assume that EVERY redaction in the Epstein files is about Donald Trump.

Assume that EVERY redaction in the Epstein files is about Donald Trump.

'discharge petition' sounds like the last sad plea before resorting to the little blue pill.

I'm old enough to remember the Rapture, when heaven was like, "Nah."

When the 'files' released are found to be corrupted to the point of uselessness, we fight.

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

DON'T FALL FOR IT! #evergreen

Priests being arrested

Still just absolutely blows me away that we taught a generation of kids *coping strategies for functional illiteracy* rather than actual reading skills

Who knew that the "inter-" in internet stood for intermittent...

CANCEL that New York newspaper. Cancel it.

Democracy dies in "guardrails."

ICE gonna have to add a sneeze guard to their get-up after the Subway Sandwich Guy verdict.

Palate cleanse. Some humans are terrible, but more of us are great.

For all the discourse, most people still don't 'get' irony and satire.
