interesting how some tech bros claim college is overrated and people should drop out but โ€œPh.D levelโ€ is a marker of expertise

As someone who studies how racism & ableism harm kids of color-this is going exactly as expected.

Black & Brown kids are already over represented in special education, specifically emotional & behavioral disabilities-and will be the ones who will be subjected to racist AI generated behavior plans

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Last fall, the First Lego League project was focused on the ocean, so we had a massive number of requests for marine biologists come in to Skype a Scientist. I just got word that this year's theme is archaeology.

Know any archaeologists? tell them we're gonna NEED 'em.

If Foxx had won, NYT would have run an article saying that the candidate that AOC and Bernie had supported lost and thatโ€™s why itโ€™s a loss for Mamdaniโ€™s politics. Thereโ€™s no winning with NYT.

Personally, I find it more concerning that the Commissioner of the NYPD is the daughter of a multimillionaire corporate CEO than that the mayoral candidate didnโ€™t immediately recognize that CEO.

If you refuse to endorse the overwhelmingly popular Democratic nominee for mayor of America's largest city, you should not be leading Democrats in the U.S. House

Brad Lander, Unfiltered and Unplugged He didn't win the Democratic mayoral primaryโ€ฆ but he won a lot of New Yorkers' hearts.

"They lit $20 million on fire, and all it did was boost Zohran's numbers. And in no small part because they corrupted their own souls by supporting a person they know to be a corrupt, abusive asshole. What are they gonna do now?"

@bradlander.bsky.social, the man you are.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Drag performer taken by ICE, morning after Pride Week pageant - 48 hills HIlary Rivers was detained during a scheduled immigration appointment in downtown SF after Miss & Mr. Safe Latino Pageant.

We need answersโ€”now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justiceโ€”this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release.

She built herself up as a progressive when she wanted to be president and had a great record opposing Trump nominees first term.

Now she's a crypto-funded corporate Democrat who defends sexual predators. A total embarrassment.

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like โ€œpoverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordableโ€ and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

Each time a remotely progressive candidate wins office in the US, the rich declare they're going to leave town. What do they actually do? Nothing. A 2016 study found only 0.04% of millionaires move in a given year due to tax increases. Rich people talk to feel important. Please properly tax them.

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayorโ€”what could be more NYC than that?"
