Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

No wonder the orange toddler is unhinged once again. The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot. Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING and an inspiration!

Michelle Obama, exactly as she is. Beautiful, graceful, intelligent, and strong woman. Joy is resistance. Grace is power. #SheShed

Never forget this image. A human being lost his life to unchecked power in the White House and a Congress that refused accountability. This isn’t partisan—it’s a warning. When institutions abandon the rule of law, people die. Remember him. Demand better. #Midterms2026 #VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt

This is a remarkable story. Worth a minute of your time to read it. “I was hit so hard with the fact that this man would not do this for me,” she said. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

This is Kevin. He's a reactive dog getting some training to be more comfortable. His trainer brought him to a pet store for some socialization where they learned he is no longer reactive when given a giant stuffed dinosaur. 14/10 (TT: katieandtatesfostermates)

“Their happiness is my happiness. That is the thing.” This is so sweet, especially in this Dark Time.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

"Common Crawl has opened a back door for AI companies to train their models with paywalled articles from major news websites. And the foundation appears to be lying to publishers about this..." www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

I would pay a boatload of money for someone to teach my corgi Clyde or Claudia’s corgi Gracie to do this. But I think only Gracie would be adventurous enough to take to it ht: @amazlngnature.bsky.social

I'll take this as a cautiously optimistic sign. Baltimore is one of the nation's most underrated cities with so much potential it's actually frustrating. This place has historical bones and assets to die for. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/baltimore/ba...

i’m taking on a new personal project this month. i’ve just collected a large collection of 35mm film negatives of black american life in the 1970s and 1980s and am going to begin digitizing them into an archive of their own. i’ll write about my progress here.

The Betye Saar exhibit chronicles her career — and how Chicago changed the trajectory of her art.

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re living in an Octavia Butler novel. The fires the queen of Afrofuturism predicted would ravage Los Angeles in 2025? They showed up. That political chaos she wrote about in “Parable of the Sower”? Currently trending.

From a soon-to-be-released project with @jevinwest.bsky.social, here's a way to think about what is happening. (2/2)

Earlier tonight I posted an example of a Google Gemini query where adding quotation marks around a song title flips the answer you get from "yes" to "no". (1/2)

So as someone who spends a lot of her professional life talking about how to get good information, I have some questions — and I’m tired of journalists writing about this who don’t understand the fundamental issues about AI in education. And so, a thread of questions.
