My district also put out a guidance document on AI use in schools that was written in part with AI. In the feedback form I told them I didn’t think that was cute!

We need to turn these people over to The Hague ASAP.

Gotta say this is an all timer. You might think, “I’ve seen people get chotinered, I’ll probably get the highlights from screenshots”. You should read the whole thing

This bizarre claim led me to this wonderful article about the development of autistic community and special education in Cuba, and where they are trying to grow, and where they are prevented from growing by our country’s cruel and pointless embargo. autismspectrumnews.org/autism-in-cu...

Enjoy and explore the city by the sea.

Seeing people who are just not wired for anything but rage and schadenfreude try to figure out the performance of grief is genuinely anthropologically fascinating

I was walking down a street in New York and I thought how lovely it was, with the trees and the light. Tried to take a photo and this came out. It’s incredible how blind we become to the ugliness of cars. They really do mess things up. Yet somehow we manage to filter them out.

when i'm at a restaurant and they put the number of calories next to the food on the menu i can't help but read it as how much HP i'll restore

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Kirk was a nobody to normal people, but it's now clear how important he was to the right. The dream of post-Steve Bannon conservativism: An influencer presidential candidate. A homegrown Trump. The panic we're seeing is a movement realizing they have nothing to replace Trump's cult of personality.

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

According to the last time the data was updated, the CDC reported only 13% of US children were fully vaccinated against Covid. With the new updates to recommendations, this will only get worse. More sickness, more disability, and more death. A whole generation failed.

Yeah this did not have any pedagogical function.

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

One might argue this is at least as important as Jimmy Kimmel's indefinite suspension--and it's not new, just getting worse.

This guy just walked around the Charlie Kirk vigil in Boston, yelling Kirk quotes through a bullhorn

Do you know how badly things have to be going in America for us to be owned this hard by the Dutch? The Dutch of all people

I can tell this site needs more sports knowers because everyone's been yelling about canceling Disney+ and Hulu all day and I literally haven't seen anyone yelling about canceling the new ESPN app, which was just rolled out and the success of which is existential for ESPN.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue deadline.com/2024/07/jimm...

You might think it should be a non-controversial belief among Democrats that "DC should be able to self-govern. But 31 House Democrats just voted to give Trump and Congressional Republicans full control over DC's sentencing laws. Shameful, heinous behavior from Vichy Democrats

technology used to be cool, but now it’s owned by the worst, most moneysick humans on the planet. but there are transsexual furry hackers out there still fighting the good fight

This is the mugshot of a literal political prisoner, arrested, thrown in jail, then expelled from a public university, for yelling at Charlie Kirk supporters

this is appalling www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

Elon sharing the name of 66 random not-famous people to his many millions of followers because this person said they said things she didn’t like about Charlie Kirk. I erased the names and employers from the screenshot but you can see their jobs. Nurses, teachers etc.

Now I feel even worse for them. This is such an evil way to talk to your toddler child about their dad dying. We have a $12 million dollar net worth but you eat us out of house and home with your greedy child desires to eat nutritious blueberries, and that’s why your dad died.

A dream of the fields study

you can condemn political violence without asking me to believe that charlie kirk was just an ordinary decent pundit who believed in the liberal project--believed in pluralism, freedom, and equality. he didn't. his whole thing was that he hated those ideas and wanted to destroy them

late for the assassination because i hired the guy that sells my name written on a grain of rice in the park to write my manifesto out on a bullet casing and he's taking sooooooo long

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

now THAT’S my senator

This is pretty fucked up in lots of ways.

Glenn Beck’s media outlet The Blaze just gave an interview last month to the person who killed the politicians in Minnesota

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

gotta say I do feel very sorry for his kids :(

“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.” Been thinking about this a lot lately, and today has made it especially relevant.

I encourage everyone to look out for their safety and practice good internet hygiene, of course. But some of the scolding posts I've read suggest we can change the awful aftermath of a fateful event by just holding our tongues and being quiet little mice, and that isn't my experience.

highly recommend doing this right now

Good conclusion at the end about how school shootings can be most effectively prevented by 1. restricting access to guns and 2. creating environments of support and trust with many adults who can identify and care for a kid in crisis

/3 I am no longer inclined to spend time tinkering with the machinery of bigotry. It would be trivially easy to explain under a rules-based system how SCOTUS could come out one way on race in admissions and another in race in detentions. But it's still not worth the effort or the implied respect.

one of my colleagues, a music educator who meant a lot to the students they taught, passed away this weekend :(

Lmaooooooooooo

got this one in my inbox, clicked, reading, HORRIFIED

Poll numbers like this can depress the vote. Get out and vote! It’s fun! It’s a way of telling Trump to fuck off!

"A militia loyal to the DC regime has been dispatched to a base in the opposition-held territory of Illinois ahead of a planned invasion of that territory's urban center, Chicago. Regime forces are targeting celebrations of a rival ethnic group that is the subject to an ongoing expulsion campaign."

Last year, Idaho passed a strict law that forbids anyone from providing to a minor any service that could be construed as medical or psychological in nature without parental consent. Now, minors calling the state's suicide hotline are being forced to have a parent speak for them or hang up

I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.
