Remember that viral tweet that was like "I feel bad for our country but this is tremendous content?" Now the content isn't even good. It stinks!

This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

A painting illustration of the character Isilaithion - an obsidian wyrm from the World of Warcraft setting in an elven visage with deep brown skin and long black hair. He is posed against a starry, dark background with Azeroth framing his head in the back, one side of it dark and destroyed, and the other yet vivid and lively. He has a relaxed pose, right hand raised to cast a wisp of flame while his left holds a stone snake gently. He wears black robes with gold trimmings and jewellery, the right side of his face shrouded in shadows, almost menacing with the purple glow to his eye; meanwhile, his gaze is drawn to the snake slithering in his hand as he smiles gently.

Digital portrait in oil-style of a black woman with pale blond shoulder-length hair. Her sclerae are black and her irises golden, with a red spark in the pupils. She wears a black dress laced with white peblles, and a high collar. She's wearing white earrings and a nose ring. The background is Klein blue, and there's a white halo with spikes similar to a crown behind her head.

a ceasefire and some kind of peace are imperative immediately. but declaring a thing to be over as though the repressed will not return, and the damage will not continue to ramify, would be not just folly, but almost inhumanly cruel

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.

I would go further and say that everyone deserves basic necessities to live whether they have a job or not.

The basic structure of so much commentary, some in the guise of academic study, reduces to:

(1) generative AI products are detrimental to the goals of education

(2) therefore, the goals of education must change.

Without the tacit axiom that AI has authority behind it, that just doesn’t follow.

This also indicates the essential dishonesty of saying “it’s just a tool.” A hammer is a tool. Nobody writes about the “inevitability” of hammers. Nobody has ever studied the harmful effects of hammers on learning and concluded that teachers must all hit their students with hammers “responsibly.”

It is also remarkable how far what is essentially advertising copy has penetrated into ostensibly neutral, scholarly contextualizations even of critical studies — rote invocations of AI’s “power,” “potential,” and ubiquity, untethered to any specific sources or data, are just background noise now.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

But that is precisely the situation right now according to SCOTUS itself. They are constantly deciding major issues via the shadow docket, without any reasoning or final order, to ensure those rulings are *not* legally binding and can be reversed whenever they feel like it. That is illegitimate.

As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

Hope this helps

Screenshot of a tumblr post. OP: my knight you have to live you have to get up you have to put your hand over your wound and hold it there. you have to keep walking and walking and walking because you cannot lay down yet, it’s not time. wipe the blood off your breastplate and look up into the sun. lean on your sword if you need to. lift one foot after another. get up. get up. this would be a pitiful grave. Reblog: this would be a pitiful grave.

"this would be a pitiful grave" is rewiring my brain as we speak

We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications. Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/
