For the new org we picked up, and for Georgia joining the fundraiser, here’s some especially emblematic pictures of Clark and Minnie. Do you want more of these? Guess what: donate more, add more states, and you can see more of these wonderful babies! nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

I have good news and bad news. Good news: we hit our goal! Man, y'all really, *really* wanted me to read a poem on air, huh? Bad news: that that's only if we can answer all 66 questions—so I'll keep pushing! How much further can we go in 23 hours? Let's find out: nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

My favorite part of parent teacher conferences is discovering how many of them don’t bother to ask their kid basic follow-up questions. I got accused of not responding to a student’s message some time ago. Got home. Sat down. Looked at my inbox. The response is there, clear as day.

The "AI" and "automation" offered by some companies and platforms is just a front for digital sweatshops in poor countries.

Also, for the #Astros fans in the house, might I suggest a new baseball team that could win your allegiance? viasinistra.threadless.com/designs/hous...

Aside from our projects, Louisa and I have something else in common: we're both southpaws. So we made a few exclusive designs for this boutique shop: only notebooks (left-handed, thanks to uploading the image upside down), stickers and magnets. Check them out! 👍 viasinistra.threadless.com

We're donating $2 a question

Stuck at parent-teacher conferences tonight, but can nonetheless reveal: - current amount: $3,153 (¡!) - 32 organizations (three more Clark pics!) - in 20 states and territories (+Oregon, +DC) (two more Minnie pics!) Under $200 left to make me read a poem on stream! Can we make it happen tonight?

If you want to know what Louisa and I are like doing trivia—and a sample of what you get if you join the Patreon—we've unlocked our most recent trivia episode. Listen to your cohosts spar about two of the most important global cuisines: Canadian and New Jersey! nosubsplease.org/podcast/bonu...

Of course I didn’t forget! One more state and one more organization means one more picture of each of my beautiful pets. And remember—if we hit that $3,317 number, I’ll randomly select a donor and read a poem of their choice on stream! What are you waiting for? nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

With two days left, *if* Louisa and I manage to get every single question right, and with my matching the first $500, we've beaten my old record of raising $3,317. But I want to feed people even more than that, and we're not perfect. So help us! Donate! Boost away! nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

36 hours left until the fundraiser stream. Is this the day we finally break Oregon? nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

Brandon Nimmo is the first millionaire to flee Zohran Mamdani's Communist New York City

And to celebrate Nevada and Minnesota becoming part of our fundraiser, here’s two pictures of Minnie! If we hit goal—and I’ll say we’re still $1,000 away—I’ll randomly select a donor and read a poem of their choice during the stream, just three days away! Again: nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

As promised, three pictures of Clark, for the three new organizations to which people have pledged. Want more pictures of Clark? Donate to our fundraiser! One picture per new organization! nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own

This is the kind of thing that sounds deep if you have a kindergartener's level of knowledge about the world outside the US

If you look carefully, they market this fact. They hype "personalized" learning, by which they mean "algorithmically generated per student" So if I'm given a word problem I can't talk to my classmates about it, bc they don't have the same one

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world And by design LLMs destroy shared context

ICYMI, I get royalties for this, if you want to help out a freelancing writer in the heat death of online promo.

I just took some of the best Minnie pictures ever. There are 34 states left to light up on the board. You all get to enjoy a Minnie picture every time we get a new state to participate. Capisce? Then fill out the form and let's get some cat pics on the timeline: nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

I can now report that I successfully snuck barbecue sauce and fried onions into Wicked: For Good.

The Overman Wheel Company produced Victor Cycles, which were top-of-the-line at the time, and their $100 price tag reflected that. When the 1890s bicycle boom went bust, the high-priced Victors couldn't compete. But they always had beautiful ads. Victor Cycles 1898 Artist: Will H. Bradley

You just know at some point the same administration that caused this will use the absences as an excuse to reduce funding for public education.

sent the typo "midwets" and I think that's my new name for the Great Lakes tbh

Four days left, and I already owe y'all three pics of Clark and two of Minerva, which is just about the best problem I could be having. I'll get back to y'all later tonight with those, but you could always take the next two hours to get those numbers up! nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

They misidentified the intern. The judge told them they had misidentified the intern. But instead of double checking, they took that as an affront to their authority. So they surrounded the judge's car and threatened to smash the windows to get to the intern. They had misidentified the intern.

If, by the grace of God and the kindness of strangers, we hit our goal—my current triviathon record of $3,317—I will select one random donor and, during the fundraiser, dramatically read a poem they choose. So get it done! Five days left to make it happen! nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

With five days left until our fundraiser, and despite Louisa's and my best efforts, we're still not where we want to be. So we're busting out the big guns. For each new organization you pledge for, I'll post a Clark pic. For each new state, I'll post a Minnie pic. nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...

I regret to inform everyone that, due to my fascination with clowns who get elected to office, I may have turned my classes into the Eric Adams Fan Club (Ironic).

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

I don't know how to break through the bubble people have that convinces themselves there are any good members of the ruling class. I want to shake some of you by the shoulders! IF IT COMES DOWN BETWEEN YOU STARVING AND THEM BEING SLIGHTLY INCONVENIENCED THEY WILL KILL YOU

Not a criticism of Mamdani in particular, but as long as we allow massively funded, heavily armed right-wing paramilitaries to have veto power over every aspect of public policy, it will be impossible to enact even the most basic social democratic reforms that a lot of liberals say they want.
