🚨 WOW — REPUBLICAN Rep. @RepThomasMassie just completely exposed the push to protect foreign pesticide corporations from lawsuits by sick farmers 🧑‍🌾 being carried here in Tennessee by ex-ag sub chair @rustygrills (and @TNFarmBureau)

It has stalled for now. But… yikes, Rusty.

You do not hate Congress enough

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.

A local millionaire software developer is found quite lifeless in the Living Museum. Suspicion falls on Elverton-cum-Latterley’s two strange tattooed children found at the train station, disturbed that police Freemasonry might threaten the village’s remaining sourdough starter.

If I send you this, it means I’m using deep intuition to do some unbelievable queen shit #SurvivorAU

That was a great day.

The White House posted a video of armed law enforcement officers arresting the sandwich man

"What really her feelings were, I only could see from the diary. And my conclusion is, as I had been in very, very good terms with Anne, that most parents don’t know, really, their children.”

Proof and actions count much more than words. Applies to both relationships and negative self-talk.

Hank would *never* vote for Trump for several reasons, least of which being that Trump’s from New York City.

Girl..... That's a bootyhole!

Sorry Superman ain't flying around, randomly putting brown people in swamp prisons. That must be hard for you. Thoughts and prayers and whatnot.

Unions need to be leading this fight. It is absolutely a labor issue

ICYMI: A subcontractor stored cans of gas (!) in the library parking lot (!) next to a building storing millions of taxpayer dollars' worth of media and irreplaceable genealogical collections.

Cannot wait to teach the print version to my grad students next year.

"Those of us working in higher education need to consider the valuable skills and literacies that post-secondary education offers that are not easily found or learned in the workplace, on the internet, or in the context of everyday life."

Louder for those in the back please.

In my work with teachers, two beliefs about AI are becoming "common sense:"

1. AI is inevitable, resistance is futile.
2. Not including AI in a teaching + learning will hold students back in terms of career + college.

Building permission structures for #AIResistance is urgent + critical.

Teaching about and against AI means working with students to analyze the connections between AI and environmental racism. In addition, educators, students, and community members can build coalitions for civic actions against Big Tech and its plans for more extractive, harmful infrastructure.

In these dark times, it’s great to come together and find something we can all take joy in.

King of Fools: The Oral History of Danny McBride As his HBO series ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ comes to a triumphant end, here’s the tale of America’s karate-kicking, wisecracking king of comedy, as told by the people who know him best

With Righteous Gemstones ending on Sunday, I thought it'd be a good time to go deep with DANNY MCBRIDE and his whole crew about his life and career.

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

A screenshot of a weekly allergy report for Cookeville, Tennessee. There are tall orange bars underneath a banner that reads, “There is a very high risk of allergy symptoms today.”

Had an exhaustion-related freak out last night that I was getting sick two weeks before my vacation (which I’ve been planning for a year). I’m completely fine this morning, but man, seasonal allergies in Middle Tennessee are not for the weak.

Google is killing software support for early Nest Thermostats No more controlling these “smart” thermostats from a phone.

The Internet of Things ended up being the internet of unsupported products.

Google is ending support for 1st & 2nd generation Nests and completely pulling out of Europe.

Imagine having to replace the thermostats in your home because of a reorg at some big tech meant it was no longer a priority.
