90% of the people yelling "you should have gotten over your stupid genocide purity test and voted for Harris" are doing it because they knew this was coming...and I would say to you: "if only you had yelled at Harris to stop being pro-genocide instead"

So it would have textual basis to argue the point. But we don't live in that world, so read books like @djolder.bsky.social s SHADOWSHAPER because talk about implications of a magical ability! hooee.

The American Federation of Teachers is teaming up with a company under investigation for promoting murder suicides whose product, which it admits is based on stolen work, has been used to create nudes and harass students. And kids are supposed to take ethics guidance from them. Ok!

Thread! 🧵

The level of everyday resistance to this regime has been exemplary and constant

One day I'll write about the media start up I was working with because they wanted to be a nontoxic haven for writers, right up until they pivoted to AI, Claude, saying "Anthropic is the ethical AI company." When I bounced they were horrified that I wanted to be paid for my time. And here we are.

Viva Greta.

The only Claude worth your time

I know this has been said many times but that "only democracy in the middle east" lie needs to never be uttered again.

LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH

Your "Resources" page is a joke - only providing tools from "A.i." companies themselves. This page should give teachers tools to grapple with cheating, mental health issues, and plagiarism exacerbated by "A.i." It should have resources educators can use to PREVENT their schools from using "A.i."

Respectfully, the courses in your AI Academy seem designed to push "A.i." use on teachers. I see phrases like "You will leave with AI resources you can use tomorrow." I see no focus on handling cheating and no mention of the cognitive or suicides associated with LLMs. aiinstruction.org

A thread of questions for @rweingarten.bsky.social and the @aft.org, who are celebrating their partnership with OpenAI and Anthropic to push "A.i." onto teachers and students.

Come get your manuscript tuned up for the new year! 🎊🎊🎊

I very recently worked with @djolder.bsky.social on my manuscript. His assessment and suggestions were so thoughtful, careful, and motivating. Such good advice! It really was a very positive and encouraging experience.

@djolder.bsky.social Bari be like 🎶“Fail away, fail away, fail away” 😂 youtu.be/2zkjQVh5KmQ?...

We in Gaza need more solidarity. Israel must withdraw from Gaza, lift the siege, open the crossings, and begin reconstruction. Don't forget to tell the world that we are under siege. Dr. Mohammad Hamad Gaza ❤️🇵🇸🍉

"AIPAC appears to be putting more distance between itself and several of its preferred candidates ... But AIPAC and the broader pro-Israel lobby are still working to shape the next Congress to preserve the U.S.'s diplomatic alliance with Israel and maintain the steady flow of weapons shipments."

All star blunt rotation

TikTok is removing clips of the leaked 60 Minutes segment. The Ellison family (which acquired Paramount — CBS’s parent company — and The Free Press, making Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS) is set to co-own TikTok through a Trump-backed deal.

The Free Speech wing of the Free Speech party has made it so you have to upload journalism like it's an ISIS video

Why Priussy get rejected

Lmaooo thank you kindly

If she was Vice President she’d be Dan Fail

The instrument that one would use to measure this level of failure is called a Bariometer

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media. Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

Hawai‘i is nearing a pivotal deadline on military land leases, exposing how the US has long abused Hawaiian land and opening a rare chance for Native communities to assert Indigenous sovereignty and demand the land’s return for public and ecological healing.

Lmaooo win win

Read The Reformatory immediately! It's got more history than most history textbooks and takes the reader on an incredible journey. Breathtaking and so alive and terrifying. @tananarivedue.bsky.social as usual, did that thinggggg

Yes, here are dozens of people's history stories from Florida & recommended books, including "Reformatory: A Novel" by @tananarivedue.bsky.social & "Emancipation Betrayed: The Hidden History of Black Organizing & White Violence in Florida" . . . by Paul Ortiz ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/peoples...

This is Sharyn Alfonsi's resume from the @cbsnews.com website. Read through this incredible 30+ year body of work by the 60 Minutes correspondent now being told her CECOT piece doesn't meet Bari Weiss' standards. Then scroll down to see how Weiss measures up against this. (hint: she doesn't) 1/
