If kids don't get AI literacy now they'll be left behind in a workplace where none of their colleagues have tangible skills

I don’t think BlueSky is dying but I do think it‘s stagnant because there are only so many unpleasant terminally online politically hyper-engaged left of center aging millennials with personality disorders and a history of underachievement to draw from. We’re pretty much all here already.

My wife called me from the airport, says she feels like she's in an endless line going nowhere and trapped with a bunch of awful men. Yeah, then she told me about how bad the airport was!

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

its darkly funny that a radical accelerationist climate terrorist group set at increasing the costs of fossil fuel through targeted attacks would be doing a much smaller version of what the very pro-fossil fuel hard right president of the united states is doing

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m a feminist public health professor and the only elected union leader in the race for Susan Collins’ US Senate seat. Andreaformaine.com

The reason McCain was able to maintain popularity in AZ despite his "maverick" credentials being mostly a myth is that he actually did try to meet his constituents where they were at. Fetterman assumed he'd get automatic praise for going against dems for absolutely no reason. Or he's just dumb.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

It's cool that national papers are not just uncritical war hawks in the traditional sense, they're also hawking unproven technology that can barely do spreadsheets

Paleontologists just found Earth’s oldest “butthole” impression. The 299-million-year-old imprint was planted by a lizardlike reptile cooling off in some mud. Sometimes life as a science journalist takes you strange places. #Paleontology #TraceFossils 🧪🧪 New at @sciam.bsky.social

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

The US used to at least put on a show of pretending to care about women and girls in the middle east before committing atrocities there. Now they can barely pretend to even pretend to care.

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

Now I'm just a simple country graph reader but I think folks may prefer a strong response to fascism as opposed to mealy mouthed attempts to accommodate it

"Justice is not a frivolous thing Simpson, it has little if anything to do with a disobedient whale" says so much about Skinner with so little, just a perfect grace note of a character-specific line. Of COURSE Skinner thinks one of the most innocuous kids' movies of all time is about disobedience.

Donald Trump is historically unpopular, even with his normally stable demographic of non college whites. But if he does literally everything different than he's always done in a single speech tonight, he might be able to turn it around.

A couple years ago when I told my admin that we should try to prioritize reading skills more across departments, they said "kids read a lot! Just in 140 characters at a time." It was one of the most jarringly out of touch things I've ever heard, for multiple reasons.

I've noticed some of my Christian students have *very* strong feelings about which of their youth group pastors use AI for their sermons. I don't miss much about youth group but I reckon that would have been a good bit of fun to pass the time.

These people have never read a book in their lives and certainly don't have the curiosity to actively seek one out, so their ignorance of the library process is predictable

A lot of people currently voraciously trying to clear out all international talent from academia, research, athletics etc are going to be upset as talented people wisely and increasingly distance themselves from the US

Please come on this journey with me, the journey of the 290-million-year-old barf, I promise we'll have fun: 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/this...

This is dumb obviously but it is true that "the only thing more powerful than hate is love" shouldn't be a provocative political statement, but it is in America in 2026.

Say what you will about RFK Jr but I will always be thankful to him for making it safe to eat yogurt during the Super Bowl again

I was literally just talking to my wife at dinner about how banal but true "money can't buy happiness" is in relation to Musk and every other pedo billionaire and he just ... tweeted it out

Whitney Cummings is on the record as saying it is not a comedian's job to be funny so I think we can safely ignore her other opinions

Boasting about IQ is roughly on par with boasting about your SAT scores anytime after graduating high school, i.e. it's only something done by the biggest losers with nothing to contribute.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Either activate the guard to protect your people against the fascist invaders (not the other way around) or retire early. Asking Trump to be nice is less than useless.

The difference is that Schumer and other senior dems talk about affordability because it's poll tested and a good way of deflecting from talking about ICE while Mamdani actually cares about affordability

Every mainline dem uses a vague notion of affordability to avoid talking about ICE terrorizing Minnesota, meanwhile this guy half of them wouldn't endorse is just rolling out concrete affordable actions left and right AND he understands Abolish ICE is the only moral position

Every AI huckster would shrivel up and die about thirty seconds into a typical PhD dissertation defense

Not a great look for your paramilitary force with more money than most actual militaries to be consistently outmaneuvered by a midsized town of regular people whose biggest exertions at this time of year are shoveling the driveway and yelling at the Vikings

It’s really hard to bear the contrast on my TL of regular ass Minnesotans doing some of the bravest shit I’ve ever seen in the face of state sponsored terror followed by a deep blue state senator posting: “errrm how does taking Greenland help lower the price of groceries?”

This is why modern day Minneapolis does not fit into these peoples' worldview. They literally can't fathom a largely white city in an overwhelmingly white state being happy to live near and mutually benefit from people from very different parts of the world.

The Trump administration is the most aggressively online regime in history but it's also made up of morons in their mid-50s, so it's not surprising that they mess up the most basic internet terms that are second nature to anyone under 40

This is probably the closest to the median MN guy assessing the situation honestly. Not from the city, doesn't care about politics, not particularly nice, but sees the invasion for what it is

A week ago I think I knew maybe 3 parents at my kid’s preschool, and now I know almost all of them, and have steeled myself to give my life for their kids and their teachers if I need to.

Most right wing justifications of Renee Good's murder have nothing to do with an attempt to show she was putting the murderer in danger. They're explicitly about a gendered sense of entitlement, some sense that she's condescending to them by existing and not grovelling.

I was idly scrolling during an after school tutoring session today. There were only five kids, mostly doing their own thing, but I think one of them noticed me tear up when i came across this video. Dorky Minnesota kids, wearing T-shirts in the winter, being themselves and doing the right thing.

Things are shifting. A guy I met in grad school and friended on FB about 13 years ago, who I have not heard from since then and who is dead silent on social media, just posted RATM lyrics.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying. They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Don't forget: most employers allow you to "retain optionality" for returning to work the first week of January

Dems are weak and stupid, yes, but we don't need to endlessly quote the latest Axios gossip story interviewing an anonymous centrist dem to know that.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Absolutely useless party of lawless warmongers

it’s stupid to not use ai just because it can induce psychosis and generate child porn. it’s like saying you’re hungry when there’s a hot dog on the ground outside that induces psychosis and generates child porn
