This is what’s so scary about AI usage in education. For adults, offloading tasks may lead to atrophy of cognitive skills that are still recoverable; for kids and young adults, they’re foreclosing the ability to fully learn, think, and reason.

I love this! I also took an ebike to the hospital for my baby's birth! (I actually biked myself since it started out as just a regular 38 week check-up, but the midwife realized we needed to induce that day!) 🚲 👶

To the 31 House Democrats who voted with Trump: I would never vote to disenfranchise your constituents, undermine their democratic rights, or impose harsher penalties on them against their will. Regrettably, you have done exactly that to my constituents and legislative body. Shame 😪

This morning: MPD and ATF conducted a massive paramilitary operation, with officers in masks and camo, in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of DC within 500 yards of an elementary school while neighborhood children were heading to school. On their third day of classes.

Yesterday, the jury delivered its verdict in @epicgamesstore.bsky.social v. @ggl.bsky.social, finding that Google had violated antitrust laws by monopolizing the market for Android app distribution. Read our statement from @punk.cool below:

www.vox.com/features/239... This was a great piece. I also love motherhood, but a combination of wealth, privilege, luck & public policy choices have made it much more manageable & enjoyable for me than it is for many. I truly believe this is largely a public policy problem we must urgently address.

This is a full bore attack on the administrative state. Independent agencies are an important tool for governing our nation and they are truly at risk. We all benefit from having a functional gov't in this country, even Facebook. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Wow, nothing to cement my commitment to winter biking like taking the metro on the first cold day and getting completely destroyed by outrageous metro BS. 🤦🏼‍♀️ ☃️ 🚴‍♀️

Online colleges 😩

My thoughts from week one of #USvGoogle!

I'm spending a lot of time this week watching #USvGoogle. Due to court confidentiality rules you can only watch in person at the courthouse, so I am not watching absolutely everything. Here's the piece I wrote before the trial. Hope to write an update soon based on what we've seen so far!

Okay writers strike! I'm ready for my Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog now!

This excellent report from @annalenhart.bsky.social on how legislation that Congress is already working on can address new concerns around AI is such a great resource!! https://iddp.gwu.edu/federal-ai-legislation

Fun baseball fact: in the '94-'95 players strike, the Orioles owner, a union lawyer, was the only team owner to refuse to field scab players. Facing a $250,000 fine for every game missed, he was prepared to forfeit every game.

The Daily yesterday was all about the growing antitrust reform movement! https://pca.st/episode/3529e7b6-0499-42e1-aa9b-0be987a60dce
