An unfortunate effect of AI: for all the talk of it enabling “creativity,” many of us feel forced by its utility for plagiarism to move toward more restrictive and surveillant measures in the classroom. In the last few years the classroom is of necessity becoming more locked down than it ever was.

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

These are the Democrats who voted with their Republican friends to double healthcare costs for millions of Americans. They're all millionaires.

Please kick them all out, wine moms!!

An entire nation hinges on a generation quickly succumbing to old age.

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.

This how I find out I have a son??

Genuinely, a corporate death penalty would be an appropriate remedy in many regulatory incidents. Imagine a situation wherein no individual is found criminally liable for a massive harm to the public by a corporation. Automatic death penalty, since it organized itself to dissolve responsibility.

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

We really let these clowns run the country again. SIGH.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

Sandwich man leaving court

IT IS 11/6 TILLAMOOK WHY can’t I buy my BUTTERNAISE

someone please give me this car with the bi and trans flag colours instead of brasil

The NYT recently published a hit piece that framed his studies at Bowdoin as being "steep[ed]" in "leftist dogma" as opposed to, y'know, learning factual things about the way the world works.

Mamdani got a humanities degree. His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.

This is a nice story about how libraries change lives.

Also tonight: Voters in Maine—who rejected a background checks ballot measure in 2016—enacted a "red flag" gun safety law by passing Question 2, 63–37%.

Please check all that apply

Remember, we learned in 2021 that a win by the out party in a Virginia gubernatorial election fully nullifies any presidential mandate. I don’t make the rules

score one for "the pundits are projecting their own preoccupations onto the electorate"

Mine too!

I had thought most of my naive idealism had been stomped out of me by now, but it’s amazing to me that this level of public animosity could be directed by Democratic leadership toward a sweet and personable young candidate of their own party seemingly exclusively because of his background.

For those of you who don’t know, the residents of Paterson are overwhelmingly Black and Latino. newjersey.news12.com/bomb-threats...

Yeah all signs point to Matt Y being just a straight-up transphobe

It has been very disappointing to see mainstream Democrats in the state go all in to try to sink the progressive slate in Olympia--here's hoping local voters choose better tomorrow!

This is incredibly upsetting and just absolutely awful. I was just starting to make plans to see him next week.

Really sad about this news. Todd has dealt with so much already, this just seems stupidly cruel. Sending best wishes to an American treasure. Also: If you assault Todd Snider, that's a "go straight to hell" ticket right there.

I am sad that our institution is seeking to work with faculty to co-create standards for ethical use for generative AI because there is no ethical use for generative AI.

“The Coalition for Action in Higher Education and AAUP Local 6741 are delighted to announce: ‘Mapping Anti-Palestinian Discrimination, Harassment, and Misinformation in U.S. Higher Education.’ This series of five webinars takes place from October to December.”

i'm sorry what kind of tour

Twin Peaks: Andy Brennan vs plank.

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

I will forever mourn the loss of what New College used to be, and forever loathe the fascist vandals who turned it into...this. New College was a rare gem in higher ed for a whole range of reasons, and these fuckers wrecked it

It’s too bad only farmers are people and not librarians or artists or healthcare workers or researchers.

This December it's going to be wild watching Christmas Vacation when Clark's "Hallelujah! Holy shit!" rant ends...

Ten months ago he was having Steve Bannon on his podcast.

Very eager to dedicate time and money against him!

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

Just a reminder that Harris was soaring until Democratic consultants told Waltz to stop calling Republicans weird.

He’s designing the ballroom with AI isn’t he www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

In spite of the headline, there is the pesky legal matter that neither billionaires or anybody else can “give” money to “pay troops” or anything else. However, a great compromise would be for billionaires to pay more money into the general treasury through “taxes.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

i mean i don't think you can separate any of this discussion from the fact that so many of the participants are men who clearly have hang-ups about their inability to perform a certain kind of blue collar masculinity
