The future being pushed by both AI boosters and educational censors is one where access to information is tightly controlled. Children will not be allowed to read certain books or learn certain narratives. “Research” will be performed only through one of a select few artificial intelligence tools owned by AI giants which are uniformly aligned behind the Trump administration and which have gone to the ends of the earth to prevent their black box machines from spitting out “woke” answers lest they catch the ire of the administration. School boards and library boards, forced to comply with increasingly restrictive laws, funding cuts, and the threat of being defunded entirely, leap at the chance to be considered forward looking by embracing AI tools, or apply for grants from government groups like the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is increasingly giving out grants specifically to AI projects.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

The single biggest question in American law today is:

Are lies a get-out-of-laws-free card? Can the government simply lie to grant itself new powers? And is everyone else under an obligation to act as if obvious lies are true, or at minimum, that they might have merit and deserve respect?

Fievel was white

man I remember when a white leftist started lecturing me for thinking burrito taxis are an enormous luxury because "they have delivery all over the place in China and no one throws fits about people using it like you libs do here"

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Nobody talks about Ezra Klein's beard

When the Epstein Files come out, USAG will simply put out a 2-page memo that supposedly summarizes the whole thing, and states DOJ's final conclusions saying the opposite of what actually happened – right?

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery

absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

‘I have papers’: Child care worker detained by ICE officers inside a Chicago day care Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.

The arrest reportedly took place in front of children.

Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district. NOW they can have one district and see how much they love it.

Virginia state Senator Louise Lucas (a Democrat who is the chamber's president pro tempore) just tweeted this:

The 25th amendment is meant for presidents who got shot in the head but aren't dead yet or who need to get a colonoscopy, not as an impeachment run around

If it's a last big temper tantrum of the maladjusted boomer cohort, then we'll just also need to get the maladjusted GenX cohort to stfu over the next couple decades

that’s not to deny that americans can get in that mood. but it isn’t a register they want to live in 24/7 for 4 or more years. there is always also the mr rogers side of americans, the impulse to see ourselves in mr rogers & other sentimental representations of a kindly & welcoming community 4/n

Our story on the Drinking Water Inspectorate ordering water firms to act on PFAS in drinking water sources featured on @bbc5live.bsky.social.

As @esmestallard.bsky.social explains, once PFAS is in water, it's incredibly difficult to remove, which is why many say prevention is better than cure.

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard.

There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

I really can't emphasize enough that OpenAI is, as Dr. Gilliard has described in the past, a social arsonist enabling racism, and I urge colleagues in education using OpenAI's products - including ed-tech platforms that incorporate its products like Khanmigo and MagicSchool - to stop.

Racist Influencers Using OpenAI's Sora to Make it Look Like Poor People Are Selling Food Stamps for Cash Folks looking for evidence of SNAP recipients as welfare queens have no shortage of AI generated schlock to use as justification.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Lmao literally having a "we're rich" party while they cut SNAP is like cartoon level evil it's like the villain in a Dr. Seuss book

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

Disgusting how churches protect pedophiles.

They fired too many meteorologists

They support culling the population with a eugenics-based approach to public health.
