Trying to imagine a less cool combination of words than “Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party at Jeff Bezos’s house.”

congrats to everyone for thinking this through before signing very big contracts to put it on every student’s device at the school or university you run

LAUSD, the second-largest school district in the country, has enabled chatbots on student devices without even notifying parents or providing any means of opting out.

It’s an Interesting Time to cancel your @nytimes.com subscription!

My 12yo is already gaming out ‘28: “AOC, Bernie, Warren, and Zohran should all run for president, and at a certain point, three of them should just drop out and support whoever’s ahead.”

Democrats need to start becoming more vocally against AI and data centers if they wanna get ahead of the bubble burst.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Unironically, leftists need to reclaim Sewer Socialism.

So much ink spilled on the question of what Democrats need to do to win, and the answer is just “run candidates who believe in things.”

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

2026 Primary Woke Wave

I’m so proud to be involved with @statesprojectus.bsky.social, which deserves a lot of credit for this result. Everybody find a giving circle and get to work for 2026!

This needs to be shared more widely. It's on Facebook, which AFAIK doesn't allow direct links to its posts. Terry clearly wants it to be shared, so I don't feel bad about posting it in multiple screenshots. Terry Wallace was the director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

For real it would be so amazing if all those people really did leave New York

Essential reading about how our entire economy has been warped by a bunch of woo woo nonsense

Turned my contractor onto David Graeber. Is this praxis?

Will Bart Simpson run out of time to save Springfield?

This morning my tween noticed that his favorite breakfast cereal contains dramatically fewer strawberry yogurt clusters than it used to, which wound up being a great opportunity to explain the concept of enshittification.

“Infectious monkey truck” is the new “dumpster fire.”

by OpenAI’s own estimates, hundreds of thousands of ChatGPT users are showing signs of manic or psychotic crisis every week

This is one of the best analyses of the total grift and scammery of AI in education I’ve seen, and it is a MUST Read: “Higher Ed’s Rush To Adopt AI Is About So Much More Than AI - defector.com/higher-eds-r...

Woman on airplane complaining loudly about the $14,000 in property taxes she pays on her 5,000 sq ft home, “most of which pays for public schools, even though we sent our children to private.”

Google Gemini is being enabled on student Chromebooks and iPads without any parental oversight or ability to opt out. Children are effectively being forced to use misinformation machines.

I don’t know why I always caught a whiff of milkshake off that duck.

At what point does a theft become a heist? Are we basically just gauging the chutzpah quotient?

One of the reasons I’m convinced generative AI is a bubble is that the aesthetics of AI art are deeply right-wing coded, and therefore profoundly uncool.

“…for an AI chatbot to generate an autopsy report, contract workers have to sift through thousands of gruesome crime scene images, a gig known as ‘data labeling.’”

I was researching some Christian art for a writing project, and I can’t recommend including the word “Christ” in your Google Image search unless you’re prepared for thousands of pages of the worst AI slop you’ve ever seen.

well first of all I don’t think his flight mask fits properly

Thrilled that the left is reclaiming frogs.

What are the chances he knows what this phrase means?

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

He also vetoed a bill to restrict kids’ access to AI chatbots. This man is bought & sold by the tech companies.

Just saw a trucker honking at a Waymo for holding up traffic.

The Ellison family: Putting the “bros” back in Warner Bros.

Here is a column that purports to tackle the ethical questions around using LLMs in screenwriting without addressing the fact that these LLMs consist of work stolen from other writers. (Also, if you let ChatGPT write your drafts, you’re a hack, sorry.) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/m...

I wish more people understood that K-12 education has essentially become a massive data harvesting operation.

AI is fundamentally fascist technology, and the push to insinuate it into K-12 classrooms is fundamentally about indoctrinating children with fascist beliefs.

Catching up with the high school friend I haven’t spoken to since he chastised me for posting #AbolishICE seven years ago, because he knows ICE agents and they’re good guys.

If you’re a parent, please watch this with your kids. If you’re a teacher, please share this with you administrators. We’re all trapped in the biggest pyramid scheme in history. m.youtube.com/watch?v=aByW...

Ivanka… that’s a name you don’t hear much anymore.

Frankly I think the flag should be pledging allegiance to me.

If the Klein be Naomi, hell yeah, homie! If the Klein be Ezra… oof, nah.

In other news, I will be publishing a novel called Pale Fire unless the Vladimir Nabokov estate explicitly opts out.

If you have kids in K-12, please forward this research paper to your school / district administrators and ask for their thoughts.

hero of the fucking week

I will start teaching my students how to use AI when my colleagues in computer science start to teach Homer, Dante, Langston Hughes, Borges, Foucault, Audre Lord, Spivak, and Donna Haraway in their classes
