My understanding is that intuition is real knowledge built from experience. So, yeah, makes sense.

I didn't think there is an AI bubble. That would only be the case if the AI companies needed to make revenue to pay back their investors. From what I can see, this is all in the family. It's more like the economy's owners renovating the economy's kitchen so we can be cooked more efficiently.

Comfortable people whine for "civility". It's a cloak. A place to hide. A way to not be accountable.

Absurd and serious declaration: I am going to build an super shitty alternative to Google Classroom because I fucking hate Google right now. My students will be miserable trying to use it and it will make teaching harder.

Take that Google!

I am just so exhausted and angry at the self-righteous rich pushing their shit down our throats in education. Google is shoving AI garbage into their ubiquitous tools and our district IT says it's fucking whack-a-mole to turn them off so they can figure out if they are worth turning them on #AIinEdu

I have never done a project like this and am pretty happy with the result. Made the tiles. Reclaimed wood from a bathroom vanity. Cut and welded the legs.

Oh mother
Can I love the world and hate how it makes me feel.
Cause I don't want to kneel.
Is there anyone who's for my back for real.

Judge who reviewed James Comey's indictment was confused by prosecutor's handling of case, transcript shows A magistrate judge expressed confusion and surprise at some points during a Thursday night court session when a federal grand jury returned James Comey's indictment.

"The one that says it's a failure to concur in an indictment, it doesn't say with respect to one count," Vaala said. "It looks like they failed to concur across all three counts..."

To fans of the Monk and the Robot series by Becky Chambers, I am currently 1/2 way through Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky and it feels like a prequel. So good! #scifi

I took a class in Costa Rica last summer on hand building and burnishing. Tried to bring what I learned to this pitcher. Half burnished. #pottery

I love this q. I have been reading research on the impact of emotion on learning. Reinhard Pekrun, Elizabeth Bonowitz and Alison Gopnik are the researchers. Also Michael Merzenich.

I'm making a coffee table with an embedded tile. This was a practice because it curled when it dries but I'm really happy with it.

I recently switched to Deezer from Spotify. Really good experience. Mostly the fidelity is a lot better. IMHO, the mp3 is the worst thing to happen to music.

Trump didn't decide to kill Palestinian children. Trump didn't build a new technology to make us all docile and pliable. Trump created the permission structure. We use our agency to murder Palestinian children and deploy LLM GenAI to manipulate each other. We are not being forced to do these things.

๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: new video shows ICE is operating a detention facility on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, where people are being held for days or weeks at a time without showers, medication or a change of clothes, sleeping on the floor, and with minimal food and outside contact.

What if you take a pause on the LLM GenAI in education boosterism to move our zeal to LLM GenAI not targeting and murdering children. We can't use it to destroy their ability to learn if they are dead or disappeared.

Emmy award winning Journalist Journalist Mario Guevara is in Jail outside Atlanta with NO charges.

A federal immigration attorney argued at a federal hearing that his reporting constituted a โ€œthreatโ€ and merited his continued detention.

He has a valid work permit and is in process for a Green Card
