OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Media and universities: AI is here to stay
Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024
A couple weeks ago, Nicholas Keung at the Toronto Star reported on how generative AI is being used to assess immigration applications in Canada...and how it's led to refusals because of stuff the AI tool added in, that humans (clearly) failed to check.

“People already hate the police.” No, they don’t. They love the police. They can’t imagine life without the police. They’re giving as much money to the police as they can.
Pick a state, pick a city, look at how much their police get in revenue and then tell me how the police are oh so despised.
I was a city councilor in a smaller city that had 54 percent of its budget devoted to police funding. I suggested finding ways to cut that budget or save money through efficiencies; fellow councilors stopped talking to me. Now they’re doubling residents’ water bills for extra police funding

A large portrait of Irene Morgan, an older Black woman with short, dark hair, wearing a light-colored blazer and a white blouse with a bow. In the bottom left corner, a smaller inset photo shows a younger Morgan from the 1940s with styled hair, leaning her chin on her hand and wearing a dark sweater and necklace.
A vintage newspaper clipping headlined "Morgan Vs. State of Virginia" and "Case to be Supreme Court Hot Potato." The center of the article features a black-and-white photograph of a young Irene Morgan, a Black woman with dark, styled hair, looking slightly to the side with a faint smile. She is wearing a patterned jacket over a dark top. The surrounding columns of text detail her legal battle against segregated seating on interstate buses, which led to the landmark 1946 Supreme Court ruling. The paper appears aged with visible fold lines and some handwritten notes at the top.
Irene Morgan (b. #OTD in 1917) was a seminal figure in the early #CivilRights movement.
She refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in 1944. Her case, 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘷. 𝘝𝘪𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢 (1946), led the US Supreme Court to strike down segregation on interstate travel, paving the way for the Freedom Rides.
Was that diplomacy she did in Honduras?
One of the more embarrassing things the mainstream media has done to promote white supremacy is pretending this guy, who is responsible for killing the Voting Rights Act and Affirmative action is doing it based on race-neutral adherence to principle because he’s not wearing a hood.
Regarding Rufo’s compensation, I’ll note that academics often speak for free or a nominal honorarium. And invited academic speakers are typically recognized by their peers as subject area experts who have spent years researching and teaching.
The only thing more embarrassing than inviting Rufo to speak about intellectual freedom is paying him more than a graduate student makes in a year.
The Israeli cabinet has quietly greenlit the construction of 34 new settlements across the West Bank— the largest single approval of outposts in a single step, nearly doubling the recent total from 69 to 103 www.i24news.tv/en/news/midd...
bitch you know exactly what happened, fuck off with this
there are like 100 articles from just this last week about rural hospitals cutting emergency services due to lack of funding and stories like this are about to become extremely commonplace. just one more accomplishment of the trump administration.

I don't know why people are talking about Harry Potter again but all I have to say on the matter is Ursula Le Guin wrote a far better series of novels on the subject of a boy wizard, decades prior, which Rowling adapted without attribution

Post from the head of the AFT: No matter how you feel about AI, its use is growing more widespread and it's important that educators understand how they could integrate it as a tool in their classrooms. Hear from three educators who have been experimenting with AI in this American Educator article ⬇️ http://aft.org/ae/spring2026/leonard_siebenmark_venagro
The opening sentence: "Whether you find AI exciting or frightening, its widespread use—including among students—means we all need to learn how to interact with it responsibly" is so obviously terrible on a pedagogical, political, psychological and basic human level. The @aft.org should be ashamed.
It’s been fun the past few years, having people lie or be useful idiots about how Anti DEI is just about merit and not a backdoor whites only policy and then insist those of us who saw that clearly are shrill or paranoid
This NYT article about the removal of pride flags at Boston University ends with the Director of the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality program vowing to replace them every time. “We have a nice stockpile,” she said.

This is the same university administration that canceled the Choices history curriculum used by tens of thousands of high schools across the country just under a year ago. They clearly make censorial decisions now, based on Trump policy.
Don’t worry. She’ll keep failing upwards.

And the critical sociologists are saying it is still happening. Because they hide behind what we now believe are more respectable terms and processes. T_T
You’re treating science as a timeless entity based on an abstract notion of objectivity when historically it is a socially constructed practice that is constantly and unavoidably filled with biases. Scientists have thought some people were lesser much longer than they have believed in equality
You think displaying Savarte Bartmaan naked on stage for to white men ogle and then cutting her up then she died and storing her parts in jars for close to a 100 years was science? J. Marion Simms torturing enslaving Black women was science? You are a sick, bigoted prick
We’re saying it was science because Science has ALWAYS been capable of horrendous things and implicated in slavery, colonialism, the Holocaust. Not because we believe that racism, ableism etc are scientifically ‘valid’ or ‘defensible’
Begging you to think beyond memes.
“War is a relic of barbarism only possible because we are governed by a ruling class with barbaric ideas. The working class of all countries cannot hope to escape the horrors of war until in all countries that barbaric ruling class is thrown from power.”
