yep, UK! i made the post because a baby army came to me asking 'is this legit?' and the person faked a tm uk screenshot showing 'resale' and was badgering her for contact details even before telling her the price! 😭

Yes. Just ask @georgetakei.bsky.social

Make sure you are drinking enough to pee regularly. Also, if you dont have good heat or are in a region that doesnt really insulate for cold conditions setting the taps to drip can help prevent pipes freezing and causing massive damage. Be safe and help your neighbors

Our establishment media is completely unprepared to deal with the brazen tactics of the GOP and its supporters. The overt dishonesty, propaganda and the use of white grievance in order to keep the Republican base angry and afraid, are not being met with journalistic tactics that are effective.

…need to eradicate a tiered system of justice that now prevails in a country built upon a constitution.

The DOJ targeting of individuals that have displeased the mentally impaired and unstable president is not a distraction from the stonewalling of the Epstein Files. The Epstein Files are symbolic of the need for justice for the victims of child trafficking. The Epstein Files are symbolic of the…

The occupation of Minnesota by armed government forces and the murder of Renee Nicole Good is not a distraction from the stonewalling of the Epstein Files. The pirating of Venezuelan oil and subsequent kidnapping of its president is not a distraction from the stonewalling of the Epstein Files.

Dear white people in America, Please behave like the white people in Minnesota. If that happens this will be over and we all can have nice things. Sincerely, Black People

Agreed. But we’ve been here before. It would behove lots of people to study the Civil Rights movement. This isn’t new or particularly surprising to the African American community. Minnesotans are an excellent example of white people standing up. Kudos to them.

I'm old enough to remember when it was a PROTECTED constitutional right to peacefully gather to protest. This is good trouble, the very sort of "trouble" Mr. Lewis spoke of often. Disruption ≠ "violence" & it works. Police are complicit & MN leadership has some serious questions to answer for here.

I'll believe THAT when I see it. We've already had at least one protester find out that she's instantly lost TSA Pre.

They have a contractor running it.

Update on the viral video of an ICE agent telling a legal observer that she's going to put in a database and considered a "domestic terrorist." DHS says in a statement attributed to Tricia McLaughlin (lol) that, "There is NO database of 'domestic terrorists' run by DHS." reason.com/2026/01/23/i...

@neurograce.bsky.social "Here's how to render yourself incapable of thought for life, so you're reliant on our software forever"

Just saw a Grammerly ad that was basically like "here's how our tools can do your homework for you. And we will also run our AI language detector so you can change the words enough to make it seem like your own." Absolutely wild to live in a time where companies openly advertise this use case.

Not just colleges and universities, schools , the department of education, organisations such as Oide and the education centres .

Would be great to see all other Irish universities and colleges follow this example @tudublin.bsky.social

Happy 4th of July

Ok, so maybe some chatbots are not so bad after all

LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. abovethelaw.com/2025/12/pent...

Look what arrived in the mail today — my new chapbook of poems!! It’s always a special day when that box arrives and you hold the book in your hands for the first time.

My first book, which draws heavily on Chinese (and Aristotelian) moral philosophy, is finally getting its Chinese translation! Thanks to @academic.oup.com for a decade of support for a book that somehow keeps finding new readers. Now accessible to a billion+ more! academic.oup.com/book/25951

This was crucial - it really primed students to be concerned about what parts of their skill - and what parts of their humanity - might erode if they unthinkingly used automation. It set the tone in I think a crucial way.

Anyway: here's to my students. They took it seriously, they argued it out, and they came up with something that I doubted at first, but ended admiring more than any system I've designed on my own.

And I think... it mostly worked? I mean, I'm sure the system is cheatable to somebody who was trying to break it. But for a system designed to mostly get students actually engaged in the critical act of thinking, without a punitive ChatGPT detection system... it was... really good?

In general the class vibe was: that they knew they were going into a work environment in which AI would be a tempting tool, and that some of them would want to use it in various ways, but that they also wanted to have systems to keep them honest about actually developing real thinking skills.

We decided I should do a default light-commenting, and hopefully anybody that AI-wrote the final paper wouldn't request heavier commenting, and it would save me from heavily commenting on an AI paper.)

Their idea and goal was to keep each other honest about actually understanding the material by demanding repeated presentations to each other in class.... and it mostly worked?

And it was... amazing? Like, the quality of discussion was extremely high, students ended up doing a ton of live thinking and live tweaking and pushing on each other. It wasn't the same as writing, but it most of the students were seriously thinking, and pushing, and applying.

And the third workshop was going to be a presentation of their ideas in outline, and the fourth workshop was a simple draft reading workshop.

The second workshop was one in which they wanted me to break them into working groups based around similar topics, where they would continue to workshop, refine, and throw ideas at each other.

They hammered out a much more complicated set of group workshops, participation in which would constitute the majority of their final project grade. The first workshop was a "brainstorming" workshop, where they mixed up cases they were interested with theories, and helped each other design papers.

The discussion process was amazing. It created some of the best and most engaged conversations in class I've had. My theory is that I *staked* the conversation - I made it important, and put my money where my mouth was by giving them real power, and real consequences.

Two general themes they agreed on immediately: 1. If they used AI for everything, they would learn nothing, and come out of college with no valuable skills, and be replaceable by an AI. 2. All available AI detection software was unreliable and unjust. (I agree with this.)

We also did a bunch of work on democratic inclusiveness, and various theories that the point of democracy is that no single authority can account for all the important reasons. That every single participant in a society has a different angle, a different form of relevant knowledge.
