Are trump voters/supporters being misled again like they were when they thought mass deportations meant only the criminals and not their families and neighbors ?

In a recent interview with the Urban Pitch, Felipe Martins reflected on his career in full. 💪🏻 When discussing his time in MLS, Felipe made sure to mention Austin FC, describing his time in Austin as a different experience where the players helped the brand new expansion club connect to the city.

The children make these kinds of stories on Google slides using transitions and they are everything you imagine

We need to be building hospitals and schools with the urgency AI data centers are being built.

However, despite the continued slip in diversity behind the camera, the study found that underrepresented storylines – regardless of the lead actor’s gender – increased in 2024. “Even as diversity drops overall, we find that the stories are still there,” That's... Not a good thing...

Another example, Rachel Maron, co-founder of an AI company, was surprised to find that reposting the same content that had previously gotten fewer than 150 impressions now netted “30,717 impressions.” ‼️ "If a platform amplifies my work more when it believes I’m a man, that isn’t a glitch."

US citizens don't want home healthcare jobs. Not because they don't care about the elderly. But because the jobs are underpaid, overworked, and exploitative. Take Sylvia, a mom I interviewed who took a home healthcare job because it was her only option, then left it as soon as she could. 1/🧵

This is slavery.

THREAD. @donmoyn.bsky.social’s detailed, multi-thread dismantling of the distorted and deliberately obtuse reporting in the @nytimes.com on the significance of Gov. DeSantis’ takeover of New College is essential reading. And pls don’t waste time commenting that you don’t read the Times.Millions do.

The genie literally lives in the bottle. That's the whole point lolol

Fuck Google

New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok! So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-nyt-re...

Very few electors and appointed leaders will help teachers protect and defend public education from corporate commercial interests using “ai” to profit from and otherwise dismantle

Desde @aft.org @rweingarten.bsky.social , “Just say no.”

Oh no! I wish someone had warned us about this 👀

While people are generally aware that potatoes, corn, and tomatoes didn’t spread worldwide until the colonization of the Americas, I feel like we sometimes forget that peppers - including all the spicy varieties - were also domesticated here, & only recently introduced to most cultures and cuisines…

“what was Italian food like without tomatoes?” “what was [any cold European country] peasant food like before potatoes?” old hat. but south/southeast Asian food before chili peppers?!

the world owes an immense debt of gratitude to several millennia of Indigenous crop scientists in the Americas, truly

"Educators, educational leaders and unions must continually approach federal, state and local governments to secure funding for technology and training..." You want teachers to push electeds to give more money to tech corps instead of teachers? No. Forget "A.i." Just pay TEACHERS more.

I desperately want to avoid a future where students use “ai” to complete assignments and teachers use “ai” to grade assignments That feels like the end of education

Thanks for sharing this document, @rweingarten.bsky.social. I read it, and I believe it's inexcusably inadequate and will not prepare teachers or schools to confront the very real dangers of the "A.i." products pushed by your partners, including OpenAI. A few thoughts for your consideration...

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

"Learn how to come to terms with an unethical tool that will be used by students for unethical ends that are antithetical to meaningful learning" A "stop hitting yourself" approach to classroom instruction...

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Can I become president of the union ?

I highly recommend this article from U Iowa PhD student @wickenkamp.bsky.social on the new (and Orwellian) "Center for Intellectual Freedom's." Their inaugural event was headlined by Christopher Rufo, the right's leading anti-school propagandists and an authoritarian cheerleader.

I will definitely start being more specific about what “ai” students and teachers are (and probably shouldn’t be) using

I can't believe those athletes wasted all that time lifting weights. There isn't a single barbell on the field during a game!

Just cancel 60 minutes I’ve used their reports in class It used to be journalism Now it’s propaganda Or maybe it’s not Maybe the CECOT report was gonna be good We will never know Until they release the report But even then we won’t know how it was altered Yeah cancel it

I totally forgot about this please algo help find all the holiday hangers I used to see in the other place

The more I think about it, free learning (i.e., outside of a planned learning session) or research is like a choose your own adventure .... you get to just follow different clues down different paths and learn things along the way. Not sure if something like chatgpt will do the same.

This clip about why AI can’t beat real comedians is an excellent take more broadly because Josh Johnson highlights a key deflection the media consistently engages in when talking about AI. AI isn’t taking people’s jobs—executives are giving people’s jobs to AI.

A big part of being a historian is being a detective! Who did this? Why? Where? Why does it matter in the grand scheme of things? You have to learn how to probe, how to uncover, how to read against the grain, how to find unusual sources, how to interpret those sources. How to piece together a puzzle

Could not reskeet this hard enough Abolish ICE is a winning platform LFG

Struggling as a teacher to keep up with changes to make sure my assignments use actual thinking/writing. Trying, but I'm tired. Not sure non-HS teachers truly get how kids are using ChatGPT for everything. EVERY.THING. As a search engine. To do questions on assignments. Almost all students/levels.

I added this description after some good faith discussions: "News outlets in this starter pack explicitly avoid the use of AI-generated text, images, videos, and audio. To be included, clear documentation must be provided via publicly available editorial policies or statements by leadership."

The lack of empirical evidence in the “anti-conservative bias in higher education” panic is really striking. We’ve had more than a decade of elite consternation about this so-called crisis based on a handful of anecdotes.

Learned a lot and a lot more to learn thanks to this long thread / short article

Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it

I am wearing out every version of burrito sabanaero today and I make zero apologies for it

Last work week before break! The last Monday morning get up!
