The better way to think about Trump’s EO putting federal grants under political control isn’t the ideology they cloak it in.

This guy is the lord's own 'truth teller'

I generally don't even watch a 'remake' of a film. I came upon this last night, and thought, "oh, Denzel Washington? Sure, let's see."

I went to see my doctor today. Right after the pleasantries, she told me she was going to use [APPNAME I don't recall] to take notes.

"Do you mean A.I.?"
"Yes"
"Oh, fuck no."

She put it away and we had a great visit.

Serve your country! Defend your culture!

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

Work in Progress: Justified Work in Progress is a recurring feature on CAMPAIGN TRAILS, in which I share some of the more interesting materials I’ve uncovered in my book-in-progress on the work of John Doar and the Civil Rights ...

You'll get nothing like fury from me. I've been doing this for a long time with lots of things. Our local KATU2 was bought by Sinclair. Never again. Somebody looks at viewer numbers and says "they like it, see? keep at it!" It's a vote, imo

"He's in a better place now," I hear people say.

I hereby propose we call them "under the influencers," instead. Carry on. That is all.

Your photos are magnificent. Good luck to you @oldredsubby.bsky.social

I hadn't checked the forecast in days. Imagine my surprise when I awoke to blissful Portland RAIN!

"Rain before 11am, then showers likely, mainly after 4pm. High near 71. South wind 6 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible."

I was talking to someone last week about how the organizations that should be helping teachers take ethical stances on AI--from slow the eff down to resist--are failing us miserably: our unions, professional associations, nonprofits.

Then I read this document from the AHA . A rant/🧵.
