Well we no longer have a constitution, but thank god we still have Rob Schneider

A month after the LAUSD Superintendent's home & office were raided during an investigation into tech contract fraud, a former LAUSD employee was indicted on charges relating to tech contract fraud. www.dailynews.com/2026/03/26/e...

Hey @rweingarten.bsky.social, how’s that partnership with Open AI working out for you?

A British man just bragged to me that “we never had slavery in this country.”

The whole internet loves Claude, the official LLM of the Resistance! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you that Claude bombed an elementary school.

WSJ reporting that the U.S. used Claude for the air strikes in Iran. Centcom has been using Claude "for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios" www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

These are criminal acts, and there is no way to find the other side of this without meaningful accountability for this—like “in the dock at The Hague” accountability.

Sorry if this is controversial, but it’s my opinion that Donald Trump sucks absolute shit.

Schools Beyond Screens demands an emergency audit of all tech contracts awarded during Superintendent Carvalho’s tenure at LAUSD. Please sign & share: www.fournorms.com/campaigns/ge...

Two days ago, I was told that Superintendent Carvalho privately refers to me & my advocacy group as “those Schools Beyond Screens bitches.” Yesterday, he learned that karma’s a bitch, too. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

AI CEOs are like, “What if we reoriented the entire global economy around a massive version of the Wu-Tang name generator.”

Among the many nauseating aspects of this story, Google is using its philanthropic arm to foist its products into schools, with the intention of creating a “pipeline of future customers.”

My spouse is introducing the 10yo to I Think You Should Leave. Please circle back in 5 years to find out how badly we’ve messed up our kid.

Now THAT's a headline. "The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents" fortune.com/2026/02/21/l...

One of my most visceral childhood memories is seeing Jesse Jackson speak during his ‘88 presidential run at a pow wow in Arlee, Montana. Not a lot of other presidential candidates showed up in Arlee.

What if… the American Pope… runs for President…

Sign and share this call on CSU to cancel its multimillion dollar OpenAI contract. CSU is in a budget crisis, OpenAI wants to reduce us all into tools of AI, and our public money should be invested in humans! actionnetwork.org/petitions/ca...

Jeffrey Epstein was working to replace teachers with computers and subvert traditional education with video games. In case you needed further confirmation of the rot at the center of the EdTech industry.

“The director Brett Ratner cozied up to the Trumps after spending years in movie-biz exile amid multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault.… For his comeback, he has summoned all the artistic ambition of a local Realtor who just got a drone.”

I read this, and I almost regret it. What do you even do with the knowledge that Epstein wanted and was trying to engineer societal breakdown via far right populism bc he thought it would benefit his sex trafficking business?

It’s amazing how quickly the entire discourse around AI has pivoted from “Look at this miraculous new technology!” to “Look, this is happening whether you want it or not.”

The last four words you hear before you die: “David Brooks video podcast.”

Our elementary school booster club has stricter bylaws around budget appropriations.

Endeavor to lead a life that will not prompt Bruce Springsteen to record a soaring anthem about how much you suck.

"Take a second and think about it. Would you rather really grow from an experience of actually doing some work and critically thinking about the things you're writing or talking about, or just taking nothing away from it and just use a robot?" Listen to the students, not the tech companies.

I never thought the leopards would start eating faces, say employees at the face-eating-leopard factory

hey folks, six figure opinion columnist here and gotta say, made a big ol’ whoopsie on the most consequential and honestly, probably the most obvious opinion of my life. thats my bad. anyway, guess I’ll just keep getting paid to give my opinion, thanks for reading

Did... did Brett Ratner write this?

Blistering piece on ed tech in @economist.com. ‘Although ed-tech companies tout huge learning gains, independent research has made clear that technology rarely boosts learning in schools—and often impairs it.’ economist.com/united-state...

Insane headline

Schrödinger’s Air Force One

Students know what’s up. This sharp seventh grader raises the obvious question about what teacher use of AI implies for student usage.

This is the fucking limit. I had no idea that Amazon drivers AREN'T ALLOWED TO SING wat CRUSH this monopoly wtf my levels were already redlining www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I do wish that the media would pick up on the harms of edtech too. We occasionally see it but the screen free phone ban groups won’t touch it- and that’s telling. The entire edtech ecosystem is surveillance and people need to know that. And refuse it. Schools are catalysts for data rights abuse

To create future customers and to monetize children’s data.

I can't believe that this has been an option the entire time *sets up school for raccoons against racism*

Last night I heard a man who’d fled the Salvadoran civil war describe ICE as a paramilitary army aligned with an authoritarian government, and I thought… oh.

Let’s not lose sight of the fact that schools are using Grok as an AI tutor.

Top story on BBC vs top story on NYT:

Rethinking Schools published my article about pushing back on some of the arguments made by those seeking to rush AI tools into schools.

Trump’s foreign policy doctrine: Fyre Fest Destiny

With news of Grok generating csam on X, I’m once again asking @lausdsup.bsky.social to answer for the fact that LAUSD students are being exposed to sexually explicit AI slop at school.

Shot / chaser

The techbros producing AI products are not doing so responsibly. The politicians funded by techbros are not regulating them responsibly. But sure, the teachers can figure out how to get children to use it responsibly.

So much to say here but it's yet another reminder that it is kind of a sick joke to suggest that the kids can be taught to "use AI responsibly" when the adults are and can not.
