Did I just argue with a joke? Part of a Bluesky educational series

I want off this ride.

John Kerry ordered a $4 Yuengling instead of a $3 Coors Light & our political media spent months tarring him as an out of touch elitist

Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both

have there been similarly culturally pervasive “everyone needs to start using this tech right now” pushes over such a relatively brief time frame as we’re currently seeing with LLMs? (This is a very genuine question)

The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles.

That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org.

(All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).

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

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:

Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M

That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.

It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

NAACP Sues xAI for Illegal Pollution from Data Center Power Plant Elon Musk’s company is accused of violating the Clean Air Act to power its Colossus 2 data center

NAACP announced it is suing xAI over its second data center in Memphis, claiming the company is illegally operating 27 gas turbines without a permit

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

Defund the Police is a good slogan, actually.

FYSA, the lead story is not "current GenXers brains are bad because lead", it's that lead poisoning disproportionately impacted poor and minority communities and those voters died younger.

Also AIDS killed a lot of young progressive GenXers.

What’s shitty about the discourse about this post both on Threads and here is that there are genuine concerns about colonialism with respect to the moon, including for example: www.cnn.com/2024/01/05/w...

Trump’s pollster released a poll two days before Hungary’s election that showed Viktor Orban’s far-right Fidesz party leading 43-37.

Instead, the opposition Tisza party won 53-38 and secured the 2/3 supermajority needed to unravel Orban’s authoritarian regime

Glad to see Gen Z re-learning from first principles the basic tools of protest.

Flyer for the final panel of the symposium, on April 19, from 7:30-9a PT 10:30-12p ET 3:30-5:00p GMT. Titled, “Navigating Discourses on Stigma and Harm,” "Our final panel of the symposium asks us to reconsider what we think we know about “risk” and harm. From analyzing how interventions such as PrEP and DoxyPEP are interpreted through queer cultural norms, to interrogating what it means for health science to “solve” oppression in relation to weight and HIV, and tracing how actors rearticulate the relationship between harm reduction and biomedicine within drug consumption, you really won’t want to conclude your symposium attendance until you’ve seen this session!"

⚕️💉Day 3, Day 3, Day 3! 💉⚕️

Navigating Discourses on Stigma and Harm

Facilitated by Steph Cull, VCU PhD Candidate.
Featuring: Ryan DeCarsky, University of Washington; Marquisele Mercedes, University of California - San Francisco; and Jason Contino, UCLA.

I wish science could explain what’s happening.

Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration Budget proposal would also curb federal payments for scientific publishing.

BREAKING: In response to huge cuts in Trump's budget request, NSF is shuttering its SBE directorate. Staff will be transferred to other parts of the agency and "grants that align with Administration priorities" will be maintained.

That & more w/ @maxkozlov.bsky.social & @edwrdchen.bsky.social

Flyer describing the fourth panel of the symposium and the third and final session of Day 2: Problematizing Diagnoses, Diseases, Disorders, and Decision-Making, happening on April 18th from 12-1:30 PT 3-4:30 ET 8-9:30 GMT. The description of the session reads, "This panel features work that asks us to grapple with a number of historical and modern diagnoses, so-called diseases, and the ways in which we make health-related and medical decisions. From reframing menopausal rage as an embodied response to social stress and historical exclusion, to the underlying colonial narratives within the Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder (FSIAD) diagnostic criteria; including the privileging of biomarkers and biopsy confirmation over lived experience in the evolving classification criteria for Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), and uncovering how humanities methodologies expose the historical, cultural, and ethical dimensions in medical decision-making that purely biomedical approaches obscure, you won’t want to miss this!"

Full Day 2 Schedule, which you can view on our website for the symposium, linked in the post text.

We’re down to the final week of announcements and less than two weeks from the symposium! Who’s excited?? 🙋🏽🙋🏿‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️

Are you intrigued by medical and psychiatric diagnoses? The etiologies and genealogies of diseases? The trouble with health-related decision-making? Join us!

Ever single gentile needs to read each and every one of these.

A Jewish woman on Instagram made a post about how matzo is made and why we eat it on Passover.

Every reply was violent, vile, and hateful.

I need you to understand how even the most innocuous part of Jewish existence is reviled.

People really memory holed-covid, due to a huge far right propaganda effort. That's why all you hear about is lockdowns, and not:

- hospitals out of capacity
- Skype calls with family members in quarantine as they died
- bodies stored in freezer trailors
- mass graves in NYC
