Despite Lawsuit, 44,000 Low-Income, 1st-Gen Students Lose College Access Help Federal judge ruled Trump administration cutting of $40M in grants for 62-year-old TRIO program illegal, but no one knows when funds will be restored.

This was an obvious and all-out attack on our most vulnerable students.

Thank God a judge stopped it, but it seems permanent damage has already been done.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

“Sometimes public service requires standing firm in the face of threats, which is what this unambiguously is”

How did the banker dude get here before the leaders of every self-mythologizing media organization or even Congress

This appears to be the reality nowadays.

Kat, could you have your team post a copy of the indictment on CourtListener? The public deserves to know what the government’s “logic” is for this prosecution.

Also I highly doubt she was in the room watching the massage lol

I'll give you that AI has us beat on speed and quantity right now, and that the technology has tremendous potential to advance. But right now it just ain't the same

That's fine, but humanity does. We produce great poems like this all the time. Auden didn't just write 1 poem, and there's an Auden for every literary era.

What is defined as "great" merely changes from time to time, language to language, curriculum to curriculum...

September 1, 1939 I sit in one of the dives

Dawg, just read "September 1, 1939" and try to claim AI is producing this level of quality consistently.

Bro, count the syllables. Especially near the end, they make no sense

Comic. [long message with unreadable text that includes lots of punctuation marks like semi colons and em dashes as well as citations.] Highlighted line at the bottom zoomed in reads: Not ChatGPT output—I’m just like this. [caption] I’ve had to start adding this disclaimer to my messages.

Remember 89 days ago when Trump announced that he would do "90 deals in 90 days"?

Now he says he'll get those trade deals done later.

Sure. Just like when he said he wouldn't “touch” Medicaid, and he would cut costs for families.

Donald Trump has zero credibility.

"Partial molar free energy" is so satisfying to say. Especially "partial molar". It sounds very... thermochemical 💪

Ginger!

ChatGPT sure loves the “This is not just X – it’s Y” construction.

“This is not just a trivial musing from a deranged mind  – it’s a revolutionary theoretical insight.”

The "I Haven't Heard About That" Strategy

Hold on babe, was there supposed to be a link?

Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” was just released. It would terminate health insurance for 14 MILLION Americans.

This is not a drill. We need to fight back.

Did you know? Research shows that letting students solve problems before teaching the method helps teachers learn how students think, which leads to more effective teaching. Check out the video to learn more!

I have COVID and my car was stolen. Great start to the week 🙃

Cognitive bias is not an excuse for permitting or cheering on injustice before your very eyes.

We have history standards for a reason. If a person failed to learn from the Holocaust, they deserve an F.

Education allows us to rise above our basest psychology, not embrace it.

A treasure trove of education reports and studies is under threat Funding for the Education Department’s online library, ERIC, is slated to end this week

ERIC, the scholarly education database, will run out of funding this week.

Our field is cooked.

I quite like them; they're a compact way of presenting kernel density plots that allows for easy visual comparison.

Would you excuse sexism in a community that is sexist (e.g. Blizzard)? Should we excuse people who cheer on the kidnapping of immigrants for constitutionally-protected speech?

How can morality be consistent in a world where "everyone was doing it" is an excuse?
