Educators are continually told they must use teaching strategies that are “research backed”, yet there is no research to support the use of so-called AI in schools. I wonder why this double standard has occurred?

Them: “I don’t like that you call ABA (applied behavioral analysis) ‘conversion therapy’.” Me: “I believe this is a good example of the phrase ’facts don’t care about your feelings’ in action.”

anyone who says people opposing data centers are just nimbys need to stop echoing industry propaganda and see what it’s actually like to live near one

Attending to the ideological nature of context and learning should also include, IMO, the ideology of those producing AI technologies and AI technologies' historical and ongoing enmeshment with militarism and state violence.

AI is a fascist Trojan horse designed to supplant labor, capture knowledge, and deepen our dependence on environmentally deleterious technologies.

I am begging people to think beyond what we are told are the limits of possibility. Those are imposed by capitalism and colonialism and whiteness. It doesn't have to be this way.

Students keep asking me, "How do you know so much?" and my answer is always, "I read."

Autism is NOT a brain injury. 🧠

Of course conservatives are hypocrites. You can't shame them with their hypocrisy because it's a feature, not a bug. They don't think the laws and rules they want to apply to us SHOULD apply to them. That's the POINT.

Motion to turn off the Internet. Go back to postcards, mixtapes, and not having every second of your attention monetised for billionaire profit.

Does it work properly? No. Are the people making it acting in good faith? No. Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No. Does it make people's lives better? No. Will it make people's lives better? No. Is it profitable? No. Is it popular? No. Is it harmless? No. The argument for AI.

The best ADHD advice is not "here's a hack so you can do things like a neurotypical." It's "here's how to stop being so hard on yourself for not being neurotypical." I'm never going to have perfect habits and routines, but I am going to be much softer with myself.

Just sitting here thinking about how Black ppl came up with jazz, the blues, rock and roll and hip hop WHILE this country was doing everything it could to ensure we had nothing. Nobody needs Al to create except the untalented.

at some point you have to concede that U.S. business journalism isn't journalism, it's just a weird collection of narrow mythologies the wealth obsessed swaddle themselves in to avoid introspection or exposure to the broader ethical impact of their collective lack of ethics and morals

Hopefully.

Touch and embrace reality! Quit corporate social media!

I’ve been studying the punishment bureaucracy and suing judges, prosecutors, and police across the U.S. for more than 15 years. One defining feature of our legal system is that there is rarely any accountability for massive corruption and criminality by those with power.

In honor of Mr. Rogers’ birthday, here’s your regularly scheduled reminder that the quote of his you keep sharing, that in times of crisis we should look for the helpers, was for his audience of children. We’re adults now. We’re supposed to *be* the helpers.

CULTURALLY ILLITERATE

WHO’S BENEFITTING FROM AUTOMATING THIS THING?

“Just like there is no such thing as the “invisible hand of the market” that shapes and balances the needs and wants of the people, there is also no version of AI that is simply a repository of human knowledge to draw from as a commons.” disjunctionsmag.com/articles/end...

UNHOLY

As a general media literacy tip: If the claim is that someone used "AI" or "ChatGPT" to do something, the real story is probably something else.

We're now in the period of capitalism, with the advent of digital technologies, where the outsourcing has very much come home, to white collar positions. Let's be clear: generative AI is a class warfare technology.

The New York Times published an extraordinary study of the role of billionaires in politics earlier this week, that naturally got lost in everything that is going on, including in Iran. Here is a gift link to the article, and a few select quotes: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

I have an idea: add a widget that uses AI to simulate the depletion of aquifers used to cool the data centers that run each campus’s Canvas AI! Pedagogical self-reflexivity! Infrastructural literacy!

The only training teachers need on AI is how to organise a Butlerian Jihad.

It should go without saying that attacking Iran is simply the latest in a long line of moral atrocities by a fascist, genocidal Israeli government that absolutely refuses to treat human lives with anything resembling the respect and dignity they are due.

"Outsourcing learning, commodifying education, and deskilling humanness is not progress. The answer is easy and short: we must say no and truly mean it. These are times of Luddite pedagogy," argue Dagmar Monett and Gilbert Paquet. Read the open access article at:

You've heard of "food deserts", and you've loved the trend of adding "epistemic" as a modifier to any category, so, with the onslaught of AI, and the increasingly garbage media environment we are all facing, I gift you all the concept of "epistemic deserts"

"I would rather be sincerely stupid than artificially intelligent." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-spookl...

Trump and the GOP are waging war on an educated public. They don’t want Americans to develop critical thinking and a sense of history so they are undermining public education through vouchers for religious schools, attacking universities, and decimating the Department of Education.

I love these silicon valley bros that think ChatGPT has achieved some kind of sentience and therefore might have rights. Like dudes, you don't even think poor people deserve rights, let's try to achieve that before giving person-hood to the autocomplete algorithm.

“AI helped me code and do excel and make this picture and write this essay!” exploited labour helped you do that you asshole

I think we should be destroying every AI data center with hammers, personally

Approach each day with the childlike wonder of a New York Times reporter reading a new press release from a demented 30-something right-wing basement blogger wholly devoted to the reversal of civil rights

ai is a political project to centralize power

Books Remain Legal @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

You can keep being confused about everything Trump and the Democrats are doing or you can read Sarah Kendzior. Up to you at this point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

Some good news: I talked to a retired teacher today and, as one does, asked if they’d heard of Curtis Yarvin. They not only knew his name, they also knew of his evil anti-democracy plot and connections to Peter Thiel! Keep getting the word out, people! It’s working!! 📢📢📢

Why are you spreading synthetic text as if it were information?

It’s already over. An “opposition” party that controls the executive branch for four years and fails to prosecute the open criminality of the former executive is not, in fact, an opposition party, and is complicit in fascism and the dismantling of our democracy. Wake TF up!

🧵I know what the Trump administration is doing to the country because they’ve already done it to rural America. They stripped public schools of funding. They closed our hospitals. They sold family farms for parts. They let our infrastructure rot. And then they gerrymandered us to keep us quiet.
