I know so many great people who are doing so much. If you are isolated from people who are trying their best, I can understand feeling like no one's doing anything, but really, you just need to find the people who are trying and try with them — or maybe encourage some new folks to try alongside you.

this LLM is objectively not better than most L1 English speakers at generating grammatical English sentences

“…engage with this dynamic to productively.”

lmao why can’t this text synthesizer even synthesize text at a basic level

I read this as shamelessly lifted from Indigenous writers tbh

Raise to Revitalize Support Global Indigenous Language Revitalization

This season, I am fundraising for a program called Ready to Revitalize: a unique course run through @e-l-p.bsky.social for grassroots #language champions around the world.

It only costs $500 to sponsor a participant. Help us support language revitalization! #langsky

1000th comment of “thought this was real for a sec” 💀

I ❤️ international solidarity between Indigenous and minoritized communities

as a grantwriter, the lack of unrestricted funding is a MASSIVE burden on nonprofits. everyone wants to fund a new shiny pilot program that makes them look like innovators. they don’t want to help make your tried and tested programs that have served the community for 50 years more sustainable

kudos to my brother for replying to this article with the absolute perfect gif

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

"how are we going to reach all these disaffected young men turning towards radical right-wing politics in america?"

OK, I see we may differ on whether what’s being described is some sort of treatable mental illness vs. a suboptimal but understandable response to reality, and that will necessarily inform how we treat students, so I will wish you a good night and leave it there.

No, we aren’t. But neither are K-12 teachers, neither are aunties and neighbors and mom and dad’s friends. We owe each other a duty of care with or without accreditation—at least, if we’re not into giving up and “trying.”

I agree people who don’t see college as offering them useful skills for the future shouldn’t have to waste their time there.

I also don’t blame them for doing the only thing that might realistically afford them a standard of living where they have consistent meals and housing. Both can be true.

I am glad you don’t tell your students who are scared and despairing that they are spoiled brats for feeling those things.

OK, enjoy means-testing your compassion for those you judge sufficiently mentally resilient.

I appreciate your gist, but it’s not grounded in reality. Almost no one from the global south has access to global north universities. And yes, young people who haven’t yet survived catastrophe should have access to people who have. But that lack of access is not their fault or a character flaw.

I’m sorry you see being real with kids about the prospects for the future as “enabling” them. I hope you find some more kindness in you next time you have to deal with young people.

I call it “significantly greater information access” (ie, they have more awareness of what’s coming) and “dread can be much more disabling than the dreaded event itself”. What I’m saying is not the same as what you’re saying, because my statement is of compassion for their heartbreaking situation.

Maybe because they are already living various forms of collapse and have witnessed or heard firsthand stories about rebuilding afterwards. But here, it is hard to find anyone under 30 who sees a future of any kind for themselves. Calling that “spoiled” behavior is cruel and shortsighted.

I work with a lot of students in so-called global south countries and one thing I notice is that they have far less awareness/perception of imminent collapse on every front - ecological, economic, societal. They are not eschatologically dissociating most of the time, unlike here. Probably relevant 🤷🏼‍♀️

NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.

Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

an orca breaches, jumping triumphantly in front of a burning boat and an exploding building at night

anyway have y’all seen Orca (1977)

I have literally no idea how it has a 10% on rotten tomatoes, everyone in the 70s was too dumb to recognize that a lone orca experiencing a tragedy protagonist’s suffering-vengeance-regret-defeat plot arc is a very good kind of movie
