the government is giving me $10 billion because i made a phone app that reminds you to kill yourself

I cannot stress enough that the U.S. universities’ entire leadership strata is unified in forcing this technology onto us. Almost every day I receive some sort of admin email about the ethical importance of coaching my students to use these tools. It is actually criminal, so much worse than MOOCs

Dear @rweingarten.bsky.social and @aft.org: Please cancel your partnership with this evil company and stop pushing “A.i.” on teachers and students.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

so grateful I have every Jon and Vangelis album on vinyl

@oncinema.bsky.social 😭😭

Sounds like a solid screenplay is in the making

I think it’s so cool that this is legal and no one will ever stop it

Electoralism is not a realistic strategy for opposing capitalism, white supremacy and imperialism. However, if there is to be a strong mass movement to oppose those things, it’d be surprising if it wasn’t also evidenced by election results. The key is to distinguish good signs from actual victories.

No Contract, No Coffee | Starbucks Workers United Starbucks baristas brewing change. Join the movement for fair contracts, better wages, and worker protections.

Union baristas are calling on allies to STOP BUYING STARBUCKS if we go on ULP strike. If our communities stand with us in action, we can take back power from the billionaires & CEOs.

The #1 lesson from yesterday’s blowout:
Humanities majors killed on the job market
1) Mamdani- Africana Studies
2) Spanberger -French
3) Sherill - Global History

Every Chronicle headline is like “How to Achieve Excellence in a Time of Uncertainty”; “How University Presidents Can Rebuild Trust in a Time of Uncertainty”; “Using AI to Increase Resilience to Uncertainty” and then a random op-ed that’s like “Why Militant Direct Action is the Only Option”

I am standing up for aloof wives everywhere

Woke 2 is really fun so far, even I can admit it

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

Dick Cheney died doing what he loved most- ending a human life

RIP Dick Cheney you would have loved the election of the first Muslim woman to hold statewide office in America

I regret to inform you that Dick Cheney has escaped the people's tribunals.

i do not believe for a second that the hundreds of thousands of layoffs we’re seeing right now are bc ai is replacing them, seems much more likely that the economy is imploding along with corporate mismanagement

No thank you!

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people
