AI slop for misogyny, racism, and christofascism...

Anyway, here's a PMcG thing about it

My Boyo: "we aren't allowed to watch YouTube shorts in my house"
Friendo: "why not?"
My Girl: "because they make you hate girls"
Friendo: "they also talk about Jesus and it makes me crash out"

Parents, YouTube shorts are the actual deviltongue

Like we are all fleeing movements overrun by alt-right entryism or something...

I want to again say that CSWE's accreditation staff and volunteers are amazing. The amount of time and practice wisdom that goes into each visit and benchmark...

It's very clear social work leaders spent a lot of time on this and continue to prioritize it through norms, community, and service.

We're gonna unite public choice theory and critical race theory, everyone!

No seriously. Where are people moving off of discord?

My most controversial opinion is that eduroam works fine.

I just learned that there is an entire Scrabble YouTube community and I'm finally with background noise I like again.

Oh, it's that part of the semester where I get teary eyed talking about Aaron Swartz and how people have died for the right to scientific information.

the end card to MST3K that says "keep circulating the tapes"

In retrospect this had a way larger effect on me then I ever could have imagined.

That kid was just enforcing FERPA..

Social work, too. NYU students circulated a petition to oppose mandatory AI simulations that would use student data to train models.

I'm a bajillionty percent sure it's the same grant slush funds going around to AstroTurf AI into all learning spaces

Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links If DDoSing a blog wasn't bad enough, archive site also tampered with web snapshots.

Y'all.. this one is wiiiild

Pirate archivist is not entirely trustworthy, breaks part of the commons that relies on his shadow archive of news articles to obviate paywalls

Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links If DDoSing a blog wasn't bad enough, archive site also tampered with web snapshots.

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack.

I'm just imagining him getting stomped by my favorite female philosophers.

Elizabeth Anderson absolutely wrecking him with muay thai elbow to the head

Essentially, their consultant testified that the NCME standards somehow do not apply to the ASWB examinations...or that the specific sections on the conditional standard error of measurement do not. This is false.

Not up to interpretation. Black-letter standards ignored and misstated.

Frank Williams, Ph.D., PSI Services Director & Liar for Hire Dr. Frank Williams lies for money. His specialization is lying about psychometrics. He trades on his credentials and reputation to lie for the contractors who pay him. Dr. Williams testified agains…

My anger today is for lying about research and science.

I testified in Maryland yesterday on licensure reform and was appalled at the unethical testimony from ASWB's psychometrics consultant.

It reveals a deep rot in exam regulations.

Never felt happier to pay @aaup.org dues.

Certainly a question for the ages

I got that far! I Think what was helpful specifically for me (ymmv) was understanding how the conclusions from self-interested models of public administration (like Niskannen) were being twisted by capital to argue for its own self-interest and policy solutions instead of pro-consumer/market ones

Eventually, it just became very difficult to prove you weren't right

You're really good at de-Koch-ing public choice theory and regulatory capture.

Karl is responsible for helping me understand politics better.

Also, that lede is crushingly correct and well written.

The fractal horror that unfolds if you lose your documents and how you have to approach agencies in a specific order to attain the necessary documents to prove you can get other documents...

Love to the @c4ssdotorg.bsky.social folks expanding this line of logic.

This is also just wrong. the hieleras were around for a long ass time. We saw people crammed under the aluminum blankets in cages when I was still in grad school.

That's what that stands for?!

That right there was a pretty goal
