Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Teacher "strikes more than double the probability that congressional candidates air education campaign ads. Strikes also shape broader support for education funding, resulting in more than $600 increases in district revenues and expenditures per pupil." jhr.uwpress.org/content/61/4...

Teacher Strikes as Public Signals

Teacher strikes are tactics that unions use to influence contract negotiations, and high-profile actions that have the potential to signal the need for policy change. We study the political economy of...

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe

Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion

Yes, decades of austerity and red-baiting and bang-for-your-buck pearl-clutching have paved the way the wide-ranging institutional bulldozing we’re seeing. For most of us, continuing TO BE and TO DO the things we understand universities to be about is the most necessary and effective response

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

This is the tragic yet logical result of a decades-long project—undertaken by rightwing politicians and “business-minded” administrators alike—to distort the meaning of higher education, to deny the intrinsic value of the pursuit of knowledge, to deprive us all of richer, more purposeful lives.

If you've been in the service you know that abroad a restaurant is often the front room of someone's house. The grandmother cooks; you're a guest of the family. Three Brothers in Milwaukee feels like that. The building is a beautiful old Schlitz tied house that the family has tended since the 50s.

The last time I was there, we'd just finished an indulgent group dinner at the Serbian masterpiece Three Brothers in Bay View. My friend was entertaining guests from out of town, special occasion. I had a Little Giuseppe. Others ordered by mood. Conversation flowed, memories were made.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

There are more people who've parlayed middling athletic prospects into profitable careers decrying the inclusion of trans women in sports than there are trans women in sports.

When I was like 12, I wouldn’t be allowed to play B-17 Flying Fortress on the family PC until I had put in an hour of typing practice. Being able to type fast has been instrumental in getting shitty first drafts out of the way (I.e. thinking). Also, I still type with six fingers max. Sorry mom.

In 6th grade, my oldest was expected to submit *all* of her writing assignments in Google Docs and through Canvas. And many of these assignments required her to write multiple paragraphs a night. But she could only type <15wpm. So, every assignment took hours, even if she wrote it by hand first. 6/

We shouldn't do public financing of stadiums but if we must then the cities/states putting up money deserve an equity stake in the team. Fair is fair

burn it all down@russbengtson.bsky.social · 3d ago

the big problem with sports franchise valuations skyrocketing and continuing to do so is that the only people who can afford to be team owners anymore are the worst fuckin people on earth. unfortunately this also applies to every other company in every other industry.

When I was a hs English teacher in the early days of NCLB, I remember teachers denying they were teaching to the test by saying they were adjusting assignments to mirror the form of the tests because they “didn’t want unfamiliarity to get in the way of kids demonstrating what they knew." Anyway...

This shift to computerized state tests was made possible by schools' adoption of one-to-one devices. Which mostly happened with Covid. And yet, we rarely discuss the possibility that computerizing tests--without first teaching computing skills--might've contributed to subsequent test score declines.
