At least since 2016. It’s a poor representation of the public sphere for a lot of reasons, but this is an important one.

I Set A Trap To Catch Students Cheating With AI. The Result Was Deflating "I am no stranger to students trying to cut corners by copying and pasting from Wikipedia, but the introduction of generative AI has enabled them to cheat in startling new ways."

@drteague9455.bsky.social set a trap for his students, what he learned is a major bummer. The lure of the large language model is strong, and the students don't know what they don't know. Freedom and literacy are on the line, history urges us to our own work.

😲 wow, what are the odds of that? Do you sign your pieces with an extra something so folks know who is who?

I see that your name doppelgänger works in insurance. It's fun that we all have them and the internet lets us know about their achievements. Even me! I think I have two, actually. Maybe three. It's a little hard to tell.

I lack motivation

She could def kick some Terminator ass

Just got a google alert that my name doppelganger competed in the WNBF Worlds and she looks ripped as hell and just know if you ever see me around the internet in a skimpy bikini and a body full of muscles that, um, isn't actually me. 😏

Fair enough. I'm pretty good, but even I didn't call that one. 😂

"cucked by Z" = 🏆

Trump Shows His Power, and Greene Reveals His Weakness

Remember when I said a few weeks ago that Trump is a lame duck and his coalition is fragile? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/u...

😂

ohhh, thank you!

There are no reliable narrators here.

Trump stares adoringly at Mamdani

“Sloth love Chunk”

We have double layers of fascism and no one to protect us. It's double plus ungood.

“Shut up. You had me at despot.”

This looks like stills from a buddy film. 😂

Long Knifed, but also, she's running.

YouTube video by LastWeekTonight Public Media: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Was thrilled to help consult for this fantastic John Oliver segment on the tragic plight of U.S. public media and why, if we hope to be a democracy, we still need public media for so many things that commercial media will never provide. Deserves a wide viewership. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknM...

ohhh! I'll try this another time. Looks great!

update: dough prepped. There will be crusty rolls this Thanksgiving (and maybe a pizza before then!)

Ad baculum: threats of force or intimidation. Used by dangerous demagogues to change the subject of debate and silence legitimate opposition. #DemagogueForPresident

Ad hominem: attacking the person instead of their argument. Used by dangerous demagogues to mock and delegitimize legitimate opposition. #DemagogueForPresident

Dangerous Demagogue: An unaccountable leader who uses language as force to gain compliance over a population. #DemagogueForPresident

Just a reminder: ad baculum + ad hominem = dangerous demagogue

Pretty please live skeet your day with Trump.

I did this last year for the first time (don't ask what happened to my starter) and it worked so well! I made rolls and baked them in cast iron. So crusty!

No-Knead Crusty White Bread A crusty, golden loaf, moist inside and filled with flavor.

Reminder to do this now for Thanksgiving rolls: www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/no-k...
