Meloni is thinking about how idiotic Trump makes fascism look. She's thinking to herself, "he's no Mussolini. I deserve better."

Your grandfathers didn’t storm Normandy so you could be afraid of the word antifascist or “antifa”

#AcademicSky

Students THEMSELVES are telling us that they are *learning less* when using gen AI.

Let's not surrender to AI in schools.

It's more than okay to have them developing their own thinking skills, at this life stage. It should be the ultimate goal.

Three-yrs graduate degrees are on the table in Turkish higher education, cutting all electives, especially humanities out. What is the point of reading anyway, when we can ask AI for pre-digested content right???

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything.

Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

Court Rules in AAUP v Rubio: Trump Admin Violated First Amendment The AAUP and partners sued to block the Trump administration from carrying out large-scale arrests, detentions, and deportations of noncitizen students and faculty members for ideological reasons.

Once again, it is *faculty*—not administrators—who brought this case and won. Including UC Faculty Association chapters of the AAUP.

Putin has signed a law pulling Russia out of the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture (Russia joined in 1996).

International monitors, who last saw Russian prisons in 2021, will now lose all access. Prisoners, including captured Ukrainians, routinely report torture

World Leader Compares Trump to Hitler in Front of Entire U.N. American media has barely covered the scathing comments from Colombian President Gustavo Petro.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro gave one of the most chilling speeches in recent history before the United Nations, and it has been totally ignored by US news media.

This is hilarious on so many levels — it’s meta AF.

On a fundamental human level, all cooking involves ingredients and steps.

The greedy numbnuts were so clueless about the function and labor of preparing meals that they were incapable of training the generative AI. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Junk in = junk out.
