UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

hard to exaggerate how heroic these men were. they likely saved dozens of children's lives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Has Hunter Biden filed for reparations from the "weaponization" slush fund yet? How about Hillary? The state of Minnesota?

Proof that cats, despite their reputation, have more empathy than Trump.

He's right, and that's the problem. Doubling zero is still zero.

Knitwear designer Kate Davies has written a really good blog post about the incursion of #AI into knitting. As a knitter, I really appreciate her perspective, but what she says applies far beyond the knitting community. katedaviesdesigns.com/2026/04/29/k... #knitsky

I’m a day late, but congratulations to Beau Greaves on being the first woman to win a PDC #darts championship, and beating 3 former world champions to do so, including legend Gary Anderson.

Tonight on our evening walk in one of Columbus' metro parks, my wife and I heard a racket in the trees. It was about a dozen wild turkeys looking for @theferocity.bsky.social .

Today is both really sad and really marvelous. It is exactly 11,000 Days since the last mass shooting in a UK School. Handguns were banned as had Assault Rifles a decade earlier. With a popultaion 1/5th that of the US. Annually the UK has 800 murders of which 40 are with guns.

This picture pretty much sums things up.

They think you're stupid.

Suddenly, my childhood road trips don't seem so bad. Yeah, I had to sit in the middle, and we ate sandwiches instead of stopping at restaurants, and the only entertainment was mom reading aloud from the TripTik, but at least my dad never brought a severed raccoon penis back to the car. #RFKjr

It's not like me to snap my fingers at something a pope said, but here I am, snapping away. 🤌

I have some concerns with the choice of picture for this story from BBC News

Useful link.

Your daily de-stresser.

Came across this old photo of our Poppy, who passed away last summer. I feel like he should live on as a meme. I can imagine many situations that this look would be right for.

Decompressing with some colorwork. #knitsky

The Strait of Hormuz is perfectly safe...

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Finally some clarity! So as long as I don't have my students change Churchill into a beaver, I needn't worry about Ohio's new law on what we can teach, right? Right? I'm assuming we can still teach about Liz Truss and the Head of Lettuce, though, since that is NOT the definition of woke.

We've reached the point where this is what we have to celebrate. Yippee. They didn't get enough votes to kill women. Yet.

We Ohioans aren't used to seeing our absent and lazy Senator #Husted in the news, but he's stepped it up this week, taking time away from testifying in the First Energy corruption scandal and avoiding questions about his ties to #LesWexner in order to call poor people stupid.

“Can we pray for the moms as well? Or just the babies?” Allie Phillips bravely told a pro-FAILED abortion death penalty bill group her story of fleeing Tennessee for a life-saving abortion Men tried to intimidate/stop her. She persisted: www.instagram.com/reel/DVuUJfm...

Hmmm. Maybe #JonHusted wouldn't have needed to accept a bribe from First Energy if he'd just budgeted better. #Ohio #Senate

Buried lede: Meta sends all your nudes to Kenya where humans annotate it and feed it to AI

Finished the final piece of my shawl/mittens/hat ensemble just in time for spring. Heh. I still love them. #knitsky

This is Hillary Knight, captain of the women’s ice hockey team. I love her thoughts on this.

They are stupid. AND they are cruel. AND they are incompetent. All three can be true in the perfect storm of the Trump administration. Thoughts after reading today's morning news.

If you are in Congress or the Cabinet and you are not loudly fighting for the release of all the Epstein files, I'm going to assume your name is in them. Party and gender don't matter. Prove me wrong by getting every name except those of victims unredacted. Otherwise, you are complicit.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

30 years. This video should be on every network.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

I wonder that you will still be talking, Signior Benedick, nobody marks you.

An NPR investigation found that the DOJ withheld some Epstein files related to abuse allegations against Trump. And, what you need to know ahead of the president's State of the Union address tonight. n.pr/4aT95Eh

From now on, we call it "hockey" and "men's hockey."

Breaking: The Olympic gold-winning U.S. women's hockey team DECLINES Trump's invitation to his State of the Union address after he was caught on video mocking them.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

Bingo.

Come, Sir Andrew, there’s no remedy

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Fellow #Ohio residents: Next time you try to call your Senator's office, say that you're #LesWexner. Then maybe #JohnHusted will answer your call.

This is a great demonstration of the devil’s bargain higher ed is making with LLM companies. A brilliant historian-turned-ass dean-for-AI clearly sees how students & colleges are being exploited by unethical firms, but still concludes there is no choice but to sign on to extractive “partnerships”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
