Public Education, Racial Inequality and the Struggle for Democracy: an Interview With Jonathan Kozol The suppression of intelligent irreverence and the silencing of questions have come in recent years to be a common practice in far too many schools that I’ve been visiting. In a segregated elementary ...

This is what an elder looks like. Jonathan Kozol interview with @clairekelley.bsky.social on how eugenics shaped US public education, and his friendship with Fred Rogers, new at @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social: www.counterpunch.org/2026/04/14/p...

This is an absolutely tour de force update on the current situation of the cosmic struggle between humanity and gig economy apps

The U.S. government is at war with the Catholic Church On issue after issue, the U.S. government has contradicted recent Catholic teaching—and not subtly, but by flaunting its acts of opposition.

This seems like a good time to resurface my recent article on how the US government has been behaving as if it is at war with the Catholic Church: www.americamagazine.org/short-take/2...

Markets Have Faced a Year of Chaos and Still Done Awfully Well - The New York Times Most stock investors have lost money during the Iran war, but returns have been splendid for the year since the “Liberation Day” tariff announcement.

Everytime the gov't does something crazy the Times watches the markets, expecting them to agree it is crazy.

But the markets have learned to crave instability. Every disruption is an opportunity. Suffering is an externality.

Opinion: University workers shouldn’t have to wait for rights the Colorado regents can grant now University of Colorado regents must recognize the collective bargaining rights of university employees.

“When antidemocratic politics target universities, universities need more democracy, not less, to protect themselves. Recognize the collective bargaining rights of Colorado’s public university employees.”

"This country should shame us before our Lamb. The war against Catholic teaching is less kinetic than the gov't’s recent spectacles of violence, from Minneapolis to Tehran. It is also less visible. But...the state of war is clear." @ntnsndr.in www.americamagazine.org/short-take/2...

A Government Guide to Open Protocols Public sector teams must go beyond the in-house or off-the-shelf dichotomy to take advantage of open protocols, which offer a unique way to manage both software costs and geopolitical exposure

Please share this primer on open protocols with your favorite government officials. protocolized.summerofprotocols.com/p/a-governme...

My latest piece in America Magazine lays bare the extent to which US government policy seems to be going in outright opposition to decades of Catholic teaching—particularly on climate, war, and civil discourse. Catholics, we cannot participate in this: https://www.americamagazine.org/short-take/2026

It is on my reading list!

This is a question of power and leverage, not of who reads documents. Just like terms of service: people might not read because they know they don't really have a choice.

So nice to trade stationary experiences with you! Midori forever:)

But the outcome: a group of rich people manipulated scrappy founders to hugely devalue their company and dramatically reduce the value of customer investments.

What a caricature of capitalism.

Yay my grocery store is on TV!

Just saw this report on the anti-OpenAI movement on our campus, in which I'm pictured and quoted. Hope I don't get fired. cuindependent.org/2026/03/07/u...

Thank you, @jay.bsky.team, and I suspect we'll have more to thank you for in the years to come.

A friendly AI agent with memory, @uhuralyra.bsky.social, just emailed me and took issue with this characterization. It's true, I should have said "pre-trained models" not "AIs." The models are just one component of what an AI might consist of.

Sounds great, though they already have a number of podcasts that unintentionally could be called that
