Male privilege: he had “difficult conversations” while the female reporters got fired

But you were not president. Instead you were a draft dodger who paid to get out of it while our troops died in a different ill-conceived war.

"Luddites" is a good term for those who oppose AI because the Luddites weren't against *all* technology, just forms of technology that they knew would pay workers less and turn out a shittier product

Wikipedia, a site once considered not credible as a source and possibly spreading misinformation, now has higher standards for its content than universities have for students

Great time to check out some great books, including Making Michigan Home which shows how placemaking and civil rights went far beyond just one man named Cesar Chavez

My daughter loves this series. She reads and rereads the novels, graphic novels, prequels, and adjacents

I’m old enough to remember people lambasting Biden for suggesting the economy was actually strong because people weren’t feeling it in their daily lives (compared to other countries the economy was strong) & this idiot is proclaiming how GOOD it is that gas is expensive. Only good for oil companies

And if you are not going to actually do the research, all we will get is the same regurgitated bullshit we have always gotten.

Claude is taken what HAS been written not producing new ideas. People who think need to do the work so they can produce new ideas and wayside thinking/looking at things

A tweet that reads “The new academic wealth gap isn't your university. It's not even your advisor's connections. It's who knows Claude can turn 50+ research papers into a thesis chapter in 3 hours and who's still manually coding qualitative data. I just watched a sociology PhD skip 8 weeks of analysis. Here are the 9 prompts they used:”

fuck this so much

we are so not prepared for the mountain of dogshit “scholarship” about to flood journals everywhere

Congratulations!!!

(And yes, far too much underrepresentation)

Countdown to launch. T-minus 10 days (but your book will arrive before that). #BookSky

Unfortunately, this book is all too relevant in our current political moment. Help spread the word.

Tom Cotton: Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years. The president was right to act.

If Iran has been an imminent threat for 47 years, and therefore must be attacked, wait until he hears about Russia, from Cold War to present

(So glad these idiots weren’t in office during the Cold War and many of them were bad enough)

You mean back to the 80s when ketchup was considered a vegetable?

Diversity is what makes us great. It’s our greatest strength.

The people currently in power want to divide us with hate just so they can keep power and increase their wealth. That doesn’t make the US better, it just benefits them.

This is vile and racist. There is a long history of comparing Black Americans to apes, insinuating they are less evolved, less intelligent, less human, and more animalistic. That a president would post this is despicable. Any other politician would be immediately done (and deservedly so)

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed.

ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

9 TOTAL.

ABOLISH ICE.

Disney's highest grossing film is about falsely demonizing minorities so you can colonize and gentrify.

Watched Disney’s animated Wish tonight with my kids and couldn’t help but think Trump supporters would’ve cheered for Magnifico

If only Asha and the people had just complied, as they should have 🙄, Magnifico could have controlled all the power & controlled their lives

Showed a trailer of Spielberg’s ET to my kids for the first time and couldn’t help but think that MAGA and Trump would cheer for the government to get ET and boo when he went home

And why would any foreign country put that much of their supply chain in the stable genius’s control?

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Bumped the side of a water slide tube and broke 3 ribs

Interestingly, it didn’t hurt bad (I said “ouch”) and went on the slide again. Hurt to breathe deep the next day so scheduled an appointment.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

You forgot one:

c) not care about parents with young kids
d) all of the above

Sounds like a firing range outside my 5 year olds window

Today marks the 90th ann. of the #UAW Sit-Down Strike.

From @brettolmsted.bsky.social's MAKING MICHIGAN HOME: "Mexicanos participated in the union’s first major victory during the Strike, their involvement only growing in subsequent years"
