Spoke to Le Temps on the anniversary of GPT 3 and questioning where the promised revolution is. (French) www.letemps.ch/cyber/chatgp...

Folks from a local elementary school in my area are trying to raise $1300 to cover the December rent of a family that's struggling due to an ICE abduction. You can donate through this local church's Zelle. Pls note that your donation is for the "Kilmer family" (Kilmer is the name of the school):

Lots of shoving from NYPD to create an empty area for ICE to RETREAT after their planned raid got exposed LRAD now ordering dispersal outside parking garage to force dispersal.

What if the measure of how much skill it takes to do you job is if AI is useful for it. What if we flipped pay scales to account for that

I was able to donate another 50. There are only 6 hours left in this fundraiser. Let’s help them make the amount for urgent aid for 6 families in Gaza. Their suffering continues unabated. We cannot abandon them. I’m raising funds for my bday which is coming up soon. Who will join me in this?

For those in America who will be in rooms with TVs tuned to football during this long Thanksgiving weekend, either by choice or not, you have a great chance to explain accessibility concepts. No, this is not a joke. Yes, this is based on past experiences. Yes, it has totally worked! Thread 🧵

We need to do this with every restaurant tbh

Watching Rear Window and these neighbors need some curtains!

New Yorkers BLOCK ICE from leaving their parking garage ahead of a flopped mass raid attempt on Canal Street

For those who don’t know, Jack served in the Bush administration but resigned in protest of the extra constitutional claims made by the administration. He’s no left wing radical, but he care about the Constitution. He has forgotten more about executive power than I could ever hope to learn.

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

This is what they wanted

Anyone who doesn't want to do this or is unable to do one thing on the list (for whatever reason), that's fine. People who boycott often anticipate, plan ahead, deal with inconvenience and/or make sacrifice. Many will know about this and decide they can't or won't. That's ok. Just keep scrolling.

No one is able to do ALL THE THINGS. But the fact that one tendency is to focus on all we cannot do and why, vs what we can do, is a choice. I'm thankful everyday that people, esp. Black folks, made sacrifices for the diminishing rights that we do have right now. They were inconvenienced.

The way my eyes just bulged out of my head

Although they employ simplified language, graded readers do not necessarily lack narrative depth or avoid complex themes; often, they cover the same range of "serious" themes as books written for native speaker audiences. I have one for French from 1918. #polyglots #LangSky #LanguageLearning

"Graded readers" exist and have done for decades. They're written to target different levels of reader/learner. Many are written for kids or for adult learners. They're widely available for free at libraries, or cheap at used bookstores and online. Time #LearningLanguage vs. time on AI prompts 🤔

Thank you to everybody organizing, posting, marching or protesting on International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Remember this:

Don’t forget lowering wages and eliminating diversity as a resistance a lot do cut jobs are rehiring At lower pay rates While platforms are preferring men

Making my holiday cards available for a limited run, in time for your holiday needs. If you're looking for some campy, queer festiveness - consider grabbing some holidays cards and supporting ya boy. :) shop.joshuahenryjenkins.com/category/hol...

This feels very true and is probably why I cried at the end.

My friend @harshawalia.bsky.social was arrested and charged, and another protester was brutalized today in Vancouver at a protest targeting Apple for profiting from death and exploitation in its supply chain. The protesters also called out Apple's support of Friends of the IDF.

Home Alone came out almost exactly 2 months after Goodfellas so I prefer to think Tommy never really got whacked. The hit was a front. He was just renamed Harry and sent into witness protection to work as a plumber in Winnetka IL. But he just couldn't fight that itch

This is from a thread about the immediate cave-in at #Northwestern, but should hit home for any group of faculty who are still having Sisyphean dreams of shared governance.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

calmly explaining why we shouldn't bomb random venezuelan boats to people who argued we should torture random iraqis and then won an election by saying they were against a war they advocated for

FIFTEEN MINUTES LEFT!!! THANK YOU, all! ♥

And when i say upper i mean executives because they overrule everyone and usually only care unless their own pockets are affected ASK ME HOW I KNOW (AND I WONT TELL YOU) 🙃🙃🙃🙃

On the whole auto pen thing, the headline really ought to be “the president is nuts and for the good of the world, 25th amendment now.”

Both in blue states.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

For so long nazis pretended to have refined taste to compensate for their lack of talent. They don't want either now that they have machines that can leech real talent and turn it into shit for them to consume.

I do think formal and informal faculty groups need to be thinking about their boards, how they are constituted, and what routes to change exist. The time of assuming that faculty no-confidence votes mean anything has passed.

Not a psychologist, teacher, or, for that matter university student. But I think this is happening because the facade of normal daily life during all this is starting to get too heavy to hold up.

God the SETS & the DESIGNS !!!!!!!!

[instantly] I would die for the Creature [2 seconds later] I would murder for the Creature [10 seconds later] I would murder Victor specifically for the Creature

And threw trans women under the bus while at it. I’m sick.

+1. ~15% of the cohort in our competitive 'need to do well to progress' 1st year law class attended and/or watched recordings of 10% or less of the lectures, attended zero small group tutorials, do not know where to find course readings in week 12 of a 12 week course. *Total* disengagement is new.

Showing me an ad during another ad is REPREHENSIBLE behavior.

Slavery had overseers , we have AI advocates and funds that are about “ human first AI”

The people who run RealPage are committing federal crimes and should be in jail and forced to disgorge treble damages. That is what the law actually says.

Fuck this (realpage settlement, not s.e. smith’s correct opinion). And look: RealPage is essentially the Voltron of landlords. It’s software that allows them to get together and form UberParasite so that every landlord in your city can extract every dollar possible.

BTW, any story about a possible Northwestern capitulation should include this detail (screenshot is from the oped linked below)

We can't convince universities to stop hiring Gordon Gee, so I don't know how we push for there to be any consequences for betraying the country for a few research grants. But it feels like figuring that out will be necessary.

ICE arrested military spouses at green-card interviews. Think about that: people married to U.S. service members, following the legal process, pulled into detention. If even military families aren’t safe, then no one is. Read: www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/u...

“Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder.”

Say I won't.

He is responsible for the deaths of countless American citizens, and will now be pardoned by Donald Trump. Don’t tell me Donald Trump is killing people in boats in the Caribbean to stop drug trafficking.

Juan Orlando Hernandez was convicted by a jury of conspiring to traffic 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.
