In Design of Everyday things design scholar Don Norman argues it’s a sign of bad design when the user blames themselves. But when the user is Zuck, it may be more appropriate to quote the philosopher Dora the Explorer, “why not both?”

For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

"When the bar is set at suggesting that people inject bleach into their veins, it's hard to reach a new low. But in a deranged press event on autism Monday evening, President Trump seemed to go for it" The whole article by @bethmariem.bsky.social expertly articulates the absurdity

Man I miss watching How It’s Made

Hehe @bencollins.bsky.social

This is good

As much as anything they are EMBARRASSED right now, and the Kimmel stuff has simultaneously shown them which way the wind is blowing. And by the way, they SHOULD be embarrassed, they all crawled up that dead Nazi's asshole and it was completely fucking embarrassing.

Trump's Executive Order on Antifa is written such that someone recording masked agents snatching people off the streets, or asking these agents what they're doing, can be deemed a "terrorist."

tired: they're trying to contaminate our precious bodily fluids wired: they're putting too much liquid in babies nowadays

The amount of acetaminophen I take daily would make RFKs brain work faint.

It is wild to me that we had an entire national freak out about a Presidential candidate's mental acuity, and it *wasn't* about Trump—totally unserious country.

Definitely can’t say rubella

The answer may not surprise you! Because it’s yes

In case you thought injecting bleach was a one-off bit of brilliant medical advice…

I really don’t understand why it’s so hard to just love your children.

"Are ghost candles a fire hazard?" Is that a real candle that looks like a ghost or a candle in another plane of existence that looks like a ghost and was lit by a ghost or did the ghost light a real candle in our plane of existence and the appearance of the candle is irrelevant. Help us help you.

It's the death of irony that the elected and appointed members of our government responsible for this have spent the day playing Pastor-in-Chief. Preach to the mirror. I don't ever want to hear a lecture on salvation from any of these people.

“The microschool will also serve as a beachhead for artificial intelligence-based instruction, says Parker, the superintendent, noting that with two instructors for 26 students they will need to rely on Khanmigo’s AI tutor for tailored instruction.”

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

It’s not “due to statistical and computational limits”, it’s due to the actual nature of statistics. Nice they admitted it, but this is not a surprise in any way.

It really is like Nixon live blogging Watergate and the journalism establishment saying eh, what can you do

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Think in terms of unifying the opposition rather than breaking Trump's support. Bouie and French mostly agreeing. A lot of good stuff here.

The fact today (or may other days in the past) isn’t the day this administration ends should clear the question on whether or not this is an authoritarian government. We spend so much time, every day, talking about the actions of one man. That’s because he has become our entire government.

This is actually very important to realize. We are sooooo far past historical precedent for wrong doing of an elected official. Anyone still hoping the “guardrails will hold” didn’t see the van careen off the cliff 8 months ago.

this is the second impeachable offense worse than watergate that we have read about *today*

Democrats need to seriously consider an impeachment inquiry into now-Judge Emil Bove if/when they take back the House. He led the brazenly corrupt Eric Adams quid pro quo. He facilitated the Tom Homan bribery cover-up. And there’s probably more! He was Trump’s hatchet man at DOJ for months!

"More professors in the United States have been fired for controversial views in the past week than any other week in all of American history." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

there’s a lot of talk about big tech and corporations but so many international academic colleagues are also on H1Bs. no university is going to pay 100k extra a year to keep them. if this holds, it would essentially mean the end of foreigners on tenure track jobs at US universities.

Seriously what a delightful design. The way he shouts his name throughout the fight, the overly dramatic death, and coming back to see him play dead. So fun.

This is relevant to my interests

Happening now: Protest to bring back Jimmy Kimmel outside ABC Disney Studios in New York City

Wish just one journalist on that plane would have the foresight and guts to loudly make fart sounds into their elbow while he spews this crap.

It's not (just) phones: "Kids also disengage for reasons related to the core experience of being an adolescent. They don't feel they belong; they feel overwhelmed or have fallen behind and can't see a way out; they face emotional headwinds they don't feel they can manage..."

Senate went nuclear and it barely made the news: apnews.com/article/sena...

Which is why they can’t imagine any motivation besides their own selfish and violent worldview.

the skeleton key to understanding these people is that they genuinely think you are a drone who will do what you’re told if the TV says it

Analysis | To get himself back on the air, Jimmy Kimmel must call for the execution of homeless people.

There is a roughly 100% chance he thinks that both this and Kimmel are the same ABC

Trump thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings and we won’t back down to chaos, cruelty, and corruption. We’re taking to the streets again on October 18 to say NO KINGS. Make a plan to do your part to turn this into the largest show of defiance against Trump’s regime yet. 👇

Ha. Cool. Yes. This is what the people want. Seriously the overt fascism is scary, and people are getting hurt badly. But they are also waaaayyyy over their skis

If it’s true that Americans hate cancel culture the have I got news for Americas.

This is all he said?! This is why ABC (in response to threats from Trump's FCC) is taking Kimmel off the air?!

ah, well

we are in really unsettling place that we're facing a deeply unpopular regime that is making everything appreciably worse but the people with the power to stand up to them and takes steps to maintain basic political stability are capitulating without a fight
