Yeah those are very different types of social interactions. We need to encourage younger kids, and especially young men, to spend more time engaging with each other in person. 🙏🏼

Not sure what a better term might be to capture what he’s getting at but I do think what he’s talking about and advocating for is important. And so is the language he chooses to use.

Asocial and asexual are being used to describe a group of young men who might very well want sex and are social — just online through video games — so the use of these terms, especially asexual, when used to carelessly without nuance hurts the asexual community by dehumanizing our experiences.

Yeah asexuality is a spectrum of little to now sexual attraction so it seems to me like what he’s talking about is more of a cultural issue where younger men fear being vulnerable and rejected even if they might want to have romantic or sexual relationships.

Being pretty sharp does not excuse his lack of understanding of asexuality. I listened to the interview and agree with a lot he says about the struggles men and boys are going through today but disagree with the way he frames it as conflating asocial tendencies with asexuality. It’s problematic.

I’m still in mourning and disbelief of the cancellation 😭 it makes me too sad to engage in WoT content now even though I love the show so much 🥲

A screenshot from @Andersoncooper360 on Instagram showing a collage image of Anderson cooper interviewing Scott Galloway, a bald white man with thin rimmed glasses and a stubble. The collage has three images, with the top most image showing Anderson cooperating looking down asking a question. The middle image is of Anderson and Scott sitting across from each other with a blue globe on a large digital screen in the background. The bottom image is of Scott. A headline in the middle of the collage reads, “Scott Gallloway on ‘- new species of asexual, asocial males’”.

Okay who the fuck is this white man who has no grasp of asexuality. This is soooo harmful to the aspec community and so irresponsible of major news outlets to peddle this kind of rhetoric. Has the ace community stumbled upon this yet?? @theacecouple.com #asexual #aspec

Federal Agent Told Combat Veteran 'You're Dead, Liberal' At Little Village Encounter, Attorneys Say The allegation comes as ICE and Border Patrol are increasingly facing pushback for using tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and other measures against peaceful protesters and bystanders.

People are not paying enough attention to what the govt is testing in Chicago.

“A federal agent pointed a gun at a combat veteran’s face & said “bang, bang” and “you’re dead, liberal”… the agents, including Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino [also threw] tear gas”

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

This too is Science.

How Do Scholars Take Notes? How do scholars take notes? I like seeing examples of different people’s notetaking, so I asked scholars to show me how they take notes for research.

I made my students a little “book” (just using Google slides) to show them how you all answered my question about how you take notes for research. Just to show the variety.

Happy Ace Week! 🖤🩶🤍💜

Gold, Greed and Cowardice Trump's corporate and billionaire supporters are emboldening him as he pursues his path of destruction. History proves the future does not bode well for them.

“…a weak and broken man like Donald Trump cannot succeed without the support of rich and powerful enablers. From the feckless & compliant Republican Congress to the billionaires and corporate executives, money is just as essential to his success as obedience.”

I guess I live in a bubble and this is why I don’t go out of it 😭

Working at a cafe this morning and the table next to me is discussing education. Person A tells Person B to put everything they think relevant to the conversation on a Word doc and they’ll have AI condense the main points. Being so anti-AI I am blown away at how casually people discuss and use it 😭

A tweet from the Democrats’ official account includes a chart titled “MATH” with a Republican elephant logo. The chart contrasts what Republicans “CAN AFFORD” versus what they “CAN’T AFFORD.” Can afford: $40B bailout for Argentina, Trump’s golden ballroom, Qatar jet upgrades, National Guard takeover. Can’t afford: Health care for Americans, children’s cancer research, SNAP/WIC benefits, and special education programs.

Their idea of “can’t afford it.”

Really well put! AI sucks, of course, but it is the latest of thousands of insidious ways that EdTech grifters have attempted to destroy labor within education. EdTech has been successfully destroying universities and K-12 education for at least 30 years, to the cheers of donors and idiots!

Happy Ace Week! Ace week runs this year from 19th to 25tb October.

This week should be about ace joy, as much as it is about awareness, education etc. but we know this week can be difficult too because with increased visibility there also comes acephobia.

Ideal conditions for starting your passion project will never come. You will never feel skilled enough to make it. There will never be a moment where you stop being scared to start. Do it anyway. Do it badly. Do it scared. Just make that thing that’s clawing at the door of your soul; It wants out.

A linoleum block print of Siuan Sanche from Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time standing in front of the Amyrlin Seat, shaped as a 7 sided wheel with an intricate lace pattern with a Flame of Tar Valon (half of a yin yang symbol) in the very center. Her hand is outstretched and her words “it is us. Us. We are the power. The light shines through us” are on the print. The linoleum print is in the bottom middle and two rainbow hued prints on white paper are side by side above it.

I couldn’t make it to a protest today but this block print serves as both a love letter to #TheWheelOfTime and a message to everyone who gathered today to resist our fascist authoritarian regime. #SaveWoT #RenewWoT

So #WoTSkies let’s get prepared for a #SaveWoT campaign to Apple because it’s too soon to give up on a new home for #TheWheelOfTime

‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons Prime Video will not be renewing The Wheel of Time for a third season.

It's not lost on me that the female-focused fantasy series is the one that's suddenly "too expensive" for the streamer that spent hundreds of millions for Citadel to flop historically.

When your favorite show is cancelled, you try to save it. What else is there?

#TheWheelOfTime #SaveWOT

Corpo assholes can't take away community. Our feelings, outrage, & disappointment is valid. But I'm still here, and you're still here. We're connected, and that can't be severed by soulless Amazon shills. I ain't going anywhere. Y'all are just too great to lose #WoTSkies

I’m trying to get work done but #TheWheelOfTime cancellation has affected me more than I imagined. I feel numb and I’m on the verge of tears 😭 Thank you to everyone who made it possible and the fandom who made it such a beautiful, welcoming place.

The Wheel of Time has been canceled after three seasons, and I'm pissed It hurts my soul to write these words, but it's official so there's no getting around it: Prime Video has canceled The Wheel of Time, its sweeping fantasy serie
