Great book!

Exactly my thinking.

The whitey-est whitey on the moon ever.

Been thinking something similar as “shared governance” collapses.

Ruth Wilson Gilmore said, “No abolitionist who is a true abolitionist wants to save money. What we want is for the money to be spent, to enhance, and support human life so that it can flourish in a way that doesn’t destroy the planet. We’re not about cost-savings.” Save lives, not money.

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

All this “data” comes from AI companies, self-reported uses, small sample sizes, and a piece of writing no longer than a tweet. I’ll bet a stack of student papers using the phrase “rich tapestry” against the claim that students recognize dull or cliched AI writing in order to “refine” their own.

The Men Trump Deported to a Salvadoran Prison On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been t...

WATCH — @anakasparian.bsky.social unleashes on Shabbos Kestenbaum: “No, I’m gonna let you filibuster, b*tch… I can’t stand it. It’s unbearable.”

Yep, I share it with first- and second-year students every semester, and they waste no time being appalled. Sometimes, because its meaning is so obvious, I have explain that it’s not meant ironic or critically.

‘It’s insulting’: LA Times owner stuns staff with plans to go public Inside the newspaper, the announcement landed with a thud.

“We literally are going to take the L.A. Times public and allow it to be democratized and allow the public to have the ownership of this paper” — Patrick Soon-Shiong

Every time an oligarch speaks, another word dies.

This is pure gaslighting

Would that mean OpenAI and xAI are running prostitution rings or just porn services?

Israeli fire mows down starving Palestinians in Gaza as hunger deaths surge UN says starvation in Gaza is man-made as families in the besieged territory endure ‘catastrophic hunger’.

Goes well with contract grading, focusing on development with multiple opportunities to learn and secure grade.

This is for an ethnic studies course at a state college, 40-student class, mostly working class/first gen/local, meaning many of them have jobs or take care of family members.

My syllabus: no phones, tablets, laptops in class; notebooks only; handwritten, in-person essay exams (open notebook); creative final projects (an object) employing course concepts with a reflection explaining the object; class time to workshop final projects; presentation of final project.

ICE Lawyers Are Hiding Their Names in Immigration Court ICE attorneys fighting to deport immigrants are able to obscure their identities — no masks required.

Lawyers for ICE are increasingly hiding their identities in court. This is completely unprecedented.

“We’re not really doing names publicly,” said Judge ShaSha Xu — after stating her own name and those of the immigrants and their lawyers.

“Mad at me about Epstein conspiracy? Here’s a win for your vaccine conspiracy?”

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

😬

What?! ICE agents are shitty people?!

High schoolers need at least one course in science history and politics. From race science to the Military-Industrial Complex, science can be pretty wack, but if we don’t teach basic scientific discourses, conspiracies gonna be there like, “see that apple fall? … yeah, that’s the government.”

Also, I’ve been thinking about your inquiry and it occurred to me this could be an opportunity for celebrity journalists to start an aggregator and eventually channel it into a new publication.

Apologies if it’s already been said, but pubs also (generally) provide legal protections, as well.
