I'm marking handwritten exams and a fun new development in the "LLMs effect on education" saga is that students are now inserting em dashes into their handwrittten work at a rate that approaches parody. Thanks, ChatGPT, I hate it

*Benoit Blanc saunters into the room absently perusing the bookshelves before he looks above his glasses * “I believe what we have here is a case of doo doo in the dairy”

Man, Bricks and Minifigs really struck a Streisandian bargain here. I had no idea those stores existed until two weeks ago. And now I know, boy, do I KNOW

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

the market behaving like my dog when I walk past the cupboard with the liver treats

fuck ooooooffffffffffffffffffffff meta

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Wild that after 20 years this guy is still incapable of being camera ready

Max and I can relate to this. Except I got my copy of “Ground Rules” by Cesar Milan from the library. Rookie mistake

They all think they are Homelanders but they’re all just Deeps

There are so many good things about not being on TikTok but one of the best things is that I didn't know what Lucky Scoops were until this moment

😘👌

Rubio and Hegseth unable to make eye contact with anyone but Trump, looking down like two dogs who have gotten into the garbage while you were out

We know what the "A" in "AI" stands for, Ms. Anderson

l'il lurker 😍🐙

Bezos maintaining that an enterprise must be profitable while praising the Melania movie (Budget 75 million, box office 16 million) is really a sight to behold

My friend took this video a digital price tag as it magically changed from $3.99 - $7.99. I thought you’d be interested @scottstinson.bsky.social as you recently published an article saying that there’s “precious little evidence of algorithmic pricing in Ontario www.instagram.com/reel/DXANVw0...

From Safe Parkside: look what happened on Parkside Drive after Premier Doug Ford banned speed cameras.

Personally I think Jonathan Haidt should be exposed to the challenging perspective that Jonathan Haidt sucks

omg I am going to have e a lot of fun with this

Dynamic pricing for everything. I saw it in my grocery store the other day and I wanted to burn shit down

We’ve decided to always get the cheapest/worst tickets for big concerts now. There’s always a Jumbotron and the music is no different. We were literally BEHIND Springsteen when we saw him, but there are worse ways to spend a Thursday night than to spend it looking at the back of Bruce Springsteen

“AI Literacy” and “Ethical AI” are marketing slogans serving as Trojan horses for the colonization and ultimate ransacking of the education sector.

LITERARY BURN 🔥

I can barely think of an elected Democrat who has said the words "climate change" out loud in the last two years, but of course the "Dems must eat shit" takes never stop, never change.

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

3D Hangman: now those are stakes

Holy shit The s in “Kash” is a dollar sign I AM DEAD

“AI in education is the equivalent of paying for a gym that has machines that lift weights for you. I don’t mean it’s sort of like that, I mean, in educational contexts, it’s the exact same logic.” - @citationspod.bsky.social

Get ready. As the Iran War spirals out of control, Trump is going to get more desperate. The new attacks on ABC for airing criticism of Trump is a sign of what’s the come. We cannot shrug it off as “Trump being Trump”. He’s trying to build a censorship state - plain and simple.

re Platner v Collins... It's 2026. If you can't understand why even a deeply flawed Democrat is preferable to a party line Republican, you're beyond help and there's no sense in arguing about it.

ok i don't know if the pride flag infowars logo is ever going to stop being funny to me

I’ve got a guess

Elon Musk appeared more petty than prepared

"Allow AI to transform you into its secretary" is definitely not the educational win that some people think it is

This is a truly astonishing indictment of how the presenter himself views the field of scientific inquiry

I loved DTF St Louis, but the idea that Floyd would get zero hits from women on that site is downright laughable

Because nobody could ever attempt to harm someone in a space designated as a ballroom, right, it's just physically impossible to fire a gun there, that's the very definition of a ballroom

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

I loved the 2006 Mitchell & Webb TV sketch show, but I never imagined “are we the baddies?” would graduate from funny catchphrase to the defining philosophical aphorism for our age

Like, one of the most wonderful and imaginative stories of my lifetime, William Goldman’s “The Princess Bride” was conceived because one of his daughters wanted a story about a princess and the other wanted a story about a bride

oh wow have lawmakers on Capitol Hill heard of this thing called a book

“Tell me a story from your phone” is such a chilling combination of words If my kid wants a story from my phone, they’re getting The Economist

who needs books when my phone has a thing that stole them all and can remix them in to narrative gruel

Not now ma, I'm being friendly on the internet

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise. In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival. This is why sustained investment in science & research matters. tinyurl.com/f4n4anhk
