This is genuinely revoke their license to practice behavior imo

What - the - fuck

This is a good reminder that if you stole a plate or something that is a crime, the police come and you might go to jail. Steal hundreds of thousands of you pay a fine years later, the police don't come and it functionally is not a crime.

"BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that we affirm the rights of students and teachers to refuse to sign up for, prompt, or otherwise use generative AI in the writing classroom."

College writing teachers have spoken, y'all.

The CCCC resolution affirming students' and teachers' right to refuse generative AI in the writing classroom passed by an overwhelming majority at the #4C26 Annual Business Meeting this past Friday, March 6.

This is the best DST take

Using "collateral damage is inevitable" as an excuse, rather than something to feel shame, regret, and hesitation to continue violence because of, is a special kind of ghoulish behavior

It is 70 degrees and sunny today in Boston

I like winter, I don't get along with the sun; even I'm gonna suggest skipping out for a while to enjoy this

Lord knows you've earned it

Rep Andy Ogle posts on X Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie.

If someone in office said "Christians don't belong in America," they'd have to go into hiding

Say it about Muslims though, while the US military murders children in Iran...

Big cars and road angst are like the canary in the coal mine. We are separating ourselves from our communities, prioritizing absurd tech like huge trucks over our own wellbeing (and that of the earth), so then we feel sick, so then we act out and hurt each other, make worse choices, and repeat.

This document is intended to help the Ecampus Course Development Team, as well as faculty and staff, use a principles-based approach in deciding if and how to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into course development, research, and other work projects. After reviewing the risks identified below, consider whether the overall benefits of using the tool outweigh the risks.

This AI Decision Tree someone shared with me from Oregon State is pretty great, I think, once you move past the obligatory step 1*

*important to consult existing policy, but there is no assurance said policy is good or even thoughtful

ALA Annual is still cheaper to attend than the Medical Library Association conference, by a good margin, but man has it crept up in costs over the last 6 years.

Probably largely unavoidable given hotel and convention center rates but man... library budgets have not kept pace with this. Like at all.

It will be hard to say definitively, we can’t do X because we owe Holden Y, but it will be easy to see the schools without air conditioners, the maintenance backlogs, the parks in disrepair, the roads always on the cusp of failing to meet the basic requirements of the definition, the librarians made to pull double duty as outreach workers, the actual outreach workers faced with impossible caseloads. Like the sewage, it all flows downstream.

Why can't Worcester have nice things?

Well, usually the police, but it is also because of small town, wealth hoarding, white nonsense that usually gets joked about on Midwest sitcoms but is very much part of Central Massachusetts.

I believe that these stresses require us to both stabilize our foundations (core values, ethics, and beliefs) and to imagine other ways of serving our mission and of different worlds. ALA should, and can, serve as a rallying place for library workers, for the missions of our libraries. We can do this by inviting more member involvement and not just through committee work, but through listening sessions and community building events throughout the year. I seek election to Council so that I can offer a voice for strong, values driven policies, to be someone members can come to and share their concerns, and to ensure that we don't lose ourselves to hype and capital driven technology that threatens our labor, our communities wellbeing, and our environment.

The United States has no right to impose itself on the world.

Trouble is, there are vanishingly few US politicians who agree with this obvious truth.

I am so serious when I say that there is a direct line to be drawn between Evangelism having no meaningful concept of the future save death and American conservatives having zero awareness of or interest in the future consequences of their actions

Scoop: U.S. dismayed by Israel's Iran fuel strikes, sources say The U.S. message to Israel was "WTF."

A certain former reality TV performer may have been displeased with this content.

Apocalyptic scenes in Tehran perhaps not the military spectacle POTUS was hoping for.

Wait until he learns Israel is not pursuing the Venezuela model in Iran.
