Several years ago a Walmart in Blacksburg VA had no idea what to do with a whole aſs PALLET of engineering computation pads so I casually bought a multitude for TWENTY FIVE CENTS EACH, every time I had to stop by. Meanwhile on the VT campus, the bookstore was selling them for about $8 a pop. 1/2

Can't understand how a racist is allowed to define themselves as a 'race realist' & that is how the media labels them too. A murderer would not be allowed to define themselves as e.g. a 'death realist', obviously so, so why do they not call the racist for what he is rather than permit subterfuge?

Last night I had a vivid dream about a moment in my past only this time I stood up for myself and walked away. Had I done that in reality my life would have been changed immeasurably for the better. I've been walking around in a daze all day. Conclusion: Courage is wasted in dreams. 1/2

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

Teachers are treated as mere "content delivery specialists" now so I guess it follows that students are "consumers."

The extent to which these companies (and the people who represent them) are actively hostile to students cannot be overstated. “Students need to write well enough to have a sense of which A.I. text suggestions to accept and which to reject” is something to articulate if profit is the *only* motive.

Jenny Maxwell, general manager for education at Superhuman, the A.I. company that makes the popular writing app Grammarly, told me that we are living through a “burn it down” moment for teaching and learning. Educators who try to withhold A.I. writing tools are essentially announcing to their students — “consumers,” she called them — that their coursework is irrelevant to the job market. She did acknowledge that some basic, human writing skills remain valuable. Students need to write well enough to have a sense of which A.I. text suggestions to accept and which to reject, she said. Ms. Maxwell also insisted that creativity in writing would persist, because people would still want to express their personal voice and style. To that end, companies like Grammarly, Google and OpenAI are creating so-called Socratic versions of their chatbots, sold to schools as writing helpers that will guide students through assignments without doing the work for them.

"Liberalism is a mental illness" is a standard-issue insult modern conservatives break out all the time. But it also has a telling sordid history going back to Soviet Union days when political dissent was actually treated as mental illness and dissenters were often locked up in asylums. (1/3)

Searching "Huntsville" on the BlueSky app and seeing several posts of people frustrated because they can only get Phish tickets for the Orion show in Huntsville and saying stuff like I AM NOT SETTING FOOT IN ALABAMA. So, while I was trying to be hurt by this ... (1/3)
