"We need to think about what we’re responsible for our students learning. And then we need to think about how AI hinders students’ ability to do that learning."

Is he? Show me.

More to the point, was he mayor this week?

That’s the WSJ

Does it put the NFL on the spot? Our inability to treat mental health problems? The ease with which people get firearms? The current mayor who was a cop?

Of course not.
Blame the Indian guy who is not mayor.

In Barcelona, where they invented antifascism.

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.

It fell to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, writing in dissent alongside Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, to explain the gravity of the court’s error. https://trib.al/pE7knhu

Back in 2011 I wrote a book warning that letting Google run the Web would be a disaster for the culture, knowledge, democracy.

Please clap.

It was incredible to watch this disaster unfold over several years: site owners increasingly competed for Google search traffic and placement in SERPs, abandoning every other avenue of reader engagement and retention, making their sites and the web worse. Then Google did this

Nigeria says it won't accept deportees from U.S.: 'We have enough problems of our own' Nigeria's government is pushing back against U.S. efforts to send the country migrants and foreign prisoners, with Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar quoting Public Enemy to drive home his point.

We already have over 230 million people," [Foreign Minister] Tuggar said. "In the words of the famous U.S. rap group Public Enemy — you'll remember a line from Flavor Flav: 'Flavor Flav has problems of his own. I can't do nothing for you, man.'"

Friendly reminder that Instructure, parent company of Canvas, is owned by KKR, a private equity firm that purchased it for $4.8 billion last November.

Latino tenants sued their landlord. A lawyer told them they would be 'picked up by ICE.' When a Latino tenant filed a lawsuit against a landlord and real estate agent for selling the home she was evicted from, an opposing lawyer suggested she'll likely be deported by ICE before trial.

A Latino family in L.A. sued over an illegal eviction. The landlord's lawyer, Rod Fehlman, warned in an email that they'd "likely be picked up by ICE and deported prior to trial thanks to all the good work the Trump administration has done."

The kicker? Every member of the family is a U.S. citizen.

One thing that I stress to my students is that I will not use these programs in any of my grading our course prep.

The exercises of reading and writing are primarily to help them learn, but they’re also a form of communication with the prof. And if I outsource that to an LLM, I violate a trust.

The Guardian view on starvation in Gaza: it will take more than words to halt Israel’s genocide | Editorial Editorial: Condemnation is rightly growing. But until concrete action is taken, western allies will remain complicit with these horrifying crimes

Guardian leader (editorial) on Israel’s genocide: “Faced with the systematic destruction of Palestinian life in Gaza, other states must together produce a systematic, comprehensive and concrete response. If not now, when?“

A front page of the Guardian newspaper is entirely given over to the famine in Gaza. A large photo shows a mother holding her emaciated child’s body. The banner headline says, “We have faced hunger before, but never like this'

The plot against vaccines Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his allies have hit on a way to undermine immunization.
