Did you wake up irrationally angry at how much energy is being used - and CO2 is being emitted - to foist upon us AI technology that most of don't even want?

gosh, wonder what would happen if the sector *started* with what students need and want…

If only we could convince governments to *offer* them to people of all ages!

Hiding this art image is ridiculous. Adam and Eve are wearing appropriate fig-leaves!

Hiding this art is ridiculous.

I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the print book, but it was certainly an achievement.

⚠️PSA: Time to issue the annual Halloween _Axes of Evil_ Warning.
👹 Don't let any of these cross your threshold.

They are adorable and we wish them all a healthy holiday season and beyond!

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Thankful for wombats today.

Trump is illegally firing federal workers—including special education staff at the Department of Education.

He’s taking away opportunities for our kids to succeed in the classroom.

That’s a form of cruelty no leader should impose on the people he supposedly represents.

As a young white man who grew up middle class (son of a public school teacher) and was very online ASAP and played sports, I was never Nazi-curious nor was anyone I know

None of this is “normal.” Shut up

The only way to be "AI ready" in educational contexts is to think through the most effective (human-, non-AI-generated) ways of resisting and refusing and of persuading others to do so.

there are good & worthwhile historical & legal arguments for why the unitary executive is nonsense but to my mind the most straightforward argument is that it makes no logical sense that the president has absolute removal power over the people whose job it is to keep the executive branch accountable

(RNS) - Last Friday (Oct. 17), the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister in the Chicago area, stood alongside other protesters demonstrating outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. As a line of Illinois State Police began marching toward her and other demonstrators, gripping wooden batons, footage shows the pastor with her hands raised in prayer. Officers then pushed into the protesters, forcing them back. One officer shifted his stance, reared back and began shoving his baton like a battering ram - jamming it repeatedly, Kardon says, into her leg. A few seconds later, the pastor was pulled from the crowd and thrown to the ground. All the while, Kardon says, she never stopped praying. When officers began to arrest her, they tied her arms behind her back and placed her along the curb. "I said, 'God, please help these people to know that what they're doing is wrong, and help them to turn around," Kardon, who leads United Church of Rogers Park in Chicago, said in an interview. Her leg, she said, has developed visible bruises.

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants.

"What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

America Needs a Project 2029 The road back from here will be harder.

Trump has so transformed and degraded the machinery of American government that it isn't enough to just beat him or his successor. Someone has to rebuild the liberal democratic state.

If North Carolina enacts this new map, it will be sued.

I don't bluff and I usually win.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Part of White House Is Reduced to Rubble. Trump’s Ballroom Will Rise in Its Place.

No mention at all of the fact that Trump doesn't have the legal authority to do this, that plans haven't even been reviewed (because the office is closed for the government shutdown), that the size and cost estimates keep changing, etc., etc.

Just because he's acting like he's never leaving is no reason for you to act like he's never leaving.

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

Gorgeous cat.

BREAKING: The MeidasTouch Network has officially been named the #1 publisher in the country and The MeidasTouch Podcast the #1 podcast overall according to new industry data released by Podscribe, the leading independent audio and video analytics firm.

Floofy dilute calico cat sitting on a lap and looking over her shoulder toward the camera. The lap-owner’s crossed ankles and bare feet are visible beyond the cat’s cute ears.

Miss Anya Cat is not particularly affectionate, but once or twice a day she likes to get some skritches and about 3-5 minutes of lap time. To further demonstrate her devotion, she naps on my shoes at night.

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

Good line-up!
