Rachel Maddow@maddow.bsky.social · last wk."Among the first to appear before the judge was Angel, a 13-year-old. He had no attorney. “Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” the judge asked “I don’t know,” Angel said, bursting into tears: “I have no one. I have nothing.” www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...
To be fair, his confusion and ignorance are why he's one of the most powerful voices in US politics rn
Texas Observer@texasobserver.org · last wk.Featured story: We identified 20 episodes of Joe Rogan's podcast where he referred to James Talarico or Ken Paxton, since Talarico's original appearance. The result is a portrait of confusion & ignorance in one of the most powerful voices in politics.

Basically, anybody interviewed by someone from a newspaper or media chain, will have to expect the entire non-edited interview will be gobbled up by their AI for future use, unless strict conditions are first set.
Nicole Bedera@nbedera.bsky.social · last wk.Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.
I modeled the language in my syllabi after @nbedera.bsky.social's language here. It's so deftly done.

I keep going back to @tressiemcphd.bsky.social’s arguments about scams and, increasingly, see this as the most central articulating point of high modernity. All those tracking devices? Guess what, as good as flipping a coin. How’s that for artificial intelligence!
@sarahquinn.bsky.social and I have been working with academics, grad students and others (including my own kids) who are slamming into this vacuum and it is terrifying how many professions are collapsing
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 2mo agoI cannot really explain to someone who hasn't been steeped in this stuff for awhile how sudden and total the "go to college and get a good job" edict has collapsed. It's a vaccuum. And we know how nature feels about those. All we are throwing in there at the moment is A.I.
Thanks to Trump mass deporting immigrants, my mother has to wait until 2027 to see her new rheumatologist. A reminder that rheumatology is a medical specialties where HALF OF ALL RHEUMATOLOGISTS HERE are foreign born.
