Why was there never proper funding for anything in education before but somehow AI comes along and there’s an urgency to borrow and funnel money to throw at it?
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 7h ago“Teaching educators about AI is a ‘moral imperative’, said Randi Weingarten, the AFT president.” “And without outside funding, it was a choice between taking big tech’s money or doing nothing, she said.”
All we should ever be talking about is Leonard Leo, tbh. Talking about Leonard Leo will convince more people we need court reform. That man bought the fucking Supreme Court.
Tom Carter@thcarter123.bsky.social · 6h agoAstonishing. The only mention of “Loser Leonard Leo” in Kansas vote so far is Talking Points Memo. Do legacy media reporters not know or are they in on the con & think Leo involvement is irrelevant? WE are reporters. WE decide what readers need to know. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/kansas-...
Billionaires should continue giving millions to AIPAC to set on fire
Maria Bustillos@mariabustillos.com · 6h agoIt is baffling!! to me that anyone would say it is a bad thing that AIPAC has blown a kajillion dollars to no purpose, that is absolutely great news and I hope they keep right on squanderin
If AI disappeared tomorrow, the only change in my life would be that google search suddenly got better again.

in the Québécois version of King of the Hill (“Henri pis sa gang”), Boomhauer is named Papineau and sounds like this
One giant tear rolling down from behind James Carville’s Transitions lenses that are somehow always in mid-transition
Seems like we need some kind of ceiling that psychopaths hit before achieving power. I don’t know if it’s a matter of policy or social prohibition or what, but whatever we come up with can be tested in British journalism
The only person in the world who hated the "fat kid from Superbad" is Jonah Hill. Everyone who has ever seen it loves Seth, would probably take a bullet for Seth, and understands why his friends love him. Seth was 100% worthy of a date with Jules
Dan of the Year@downwithdan.bsky.social · 2d agoHe will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"
Jeanine Pirro was clearly way less worried about pissing off Trump than being disbarred for prosecuting false charges
Classic this fucking sucks actually literal coolest thing ever situation

The Odyssey is three hours long because at the top of each hour, the movie sacrifices a dog to the gods in exchange for more run time
Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.
I bought this on eBay in the 2000s. I’m not a first editions guy, but it’s cool to own a first edition with the most hideous cover art of any Gibson novel

A million people died from Covid so the remaining could make up whatever they want about them to score political points. Not really different than those who cheapened the deaths on 9/11. Adds zero insight into those events. It does add insight into how Americans are opportunistic, selfish assholes.
This got me to finally read the entire New Yorker article on the Tates and... yeah. I don't see how what they're doing is any different than what everyone has accused Jeffrey Epstein of doing. Except they're *more public* about admitting to what they're doing AND getting young men to join in.
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 4d agoHowever horrible you think the Tate brothers are, I promise, it's worse than that. It's insane that Dems aren't making a bigger deal of the GOP embracing these grotesque monsters.
I hate internet baby talk just generally, but “pupper” really makes me forget everything I know about socialization and empathy and the principle of doing no harm
Playing a song for you to advertise my show on August 12 at Dina's Tavern in Toronto Ontario.
I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was
