The teachers are tired. We do not care about Spirit Week the last week of school. The teachers are me.
“That is shocking. And no, I don’t mean the size and implications of this massive data breach…I mean that this is the story: “the LMS is down. We can’t do school.” This take down of LMS’s in light of he Canvas breach is even better than the one I posted earlier today. Read and take to heart.
That Damned LMS Dependency
For the second time in less than a year, a major disruption to the learning management system Canvas has prompted cries (and headlines) that “we can’t do school!” In the fall of 2025, an Amazon Web S...

A good rule of thumb is don't be a jerk. Or an asshole. Or a combination of the two.
Good night dear friends 💙💛 Never give up on your dreams
tech companies: AI is going to take your job, decide whom to target in future forever wars, supplant all human connection, and entrap the average voter in a funhouse mirror version of reality that will make them incapable of making rational decisions. also tech companies: Why so afraid of AI??
This is an extraordinary, wrenching piece and it's worth your time whatever your opinion of David Foster Wallace is (even if you have no opinion at all!)
lindsey adler@lindseyadler.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis is the longest story I have ever written. It is also the most meaningful. It will go out in The Small Bow's newsletter tomorrow. You can read it here now: www.thesmallbow.com/p/consider-t...
People in the US really need to pay attention to what's happening with Palestine Action in the UK. Even if we get out from under Trump, we should expect to see these tactics deployed in the US, unless something truly transformative happens.
Das ist ein sehr guter Thread zur digitalen Bildkompetenz, weil er nicht darauf setzt, dass man KI-Bilder an bestimmten verräterischen Details o.ä. erkennen kann, sondern zur Quellenkritik ermuntert und die entscheidende Frage stellt: Warum sehe ich das? #DigitalVisualLiteracy
Dokumentationszentrum NS-Zwangsarbeit@dznsza.eurosky.social · 6mo ago1/4 KI-Slops zum Thema Nationalsozialismus sind immer weiter verbreitet und zunehmend schwerer von echten Bildern und Videos zu unterscheiden. Ist euch auch schon mal ein Bild oder Video begegnet, bei dem ihr euch nicht sicher wart, ob es echt oder mit Künstlicher Intelligenz generiert ist?
Today is always a great day to not use generative AI ever again.
DID YOU KNOW? The states currently gerrymandering to remove Black political representation are also states that do not have bans on segregation in public accommodations? Once they finally overturn the Civil Rights Act of 1964 they’ll be free to fully live out their racial segregationist fantasies…
We heard from a reliable source that dads of Brooklyn were passing around our AI literacy reading list at a bar last night. Here it is again, in case you too need something to chat about at your social gatherings 😂 docs.google.com/document/d/1...

@edifiedlistener.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis experience is chilling even if it may not be surprising. This long-term devil's bargain we've entered has so many adverse consequences, in spite of whatever benefits we may derive on the daily.
it smelled like chatgpt garbage, and lo and behold it's just scaremongering for ai services. get thee gone hallucinatory disinformation machine of fascism, may thermite get poured on your servers

"The list of platforms that now mediate the basic functions of education ... is almost comically long ... most schools are running 10–15 different EdTech products that all promise efficiency, but in reality create confusion, frustration, and complicate what was once much simpler." 🎯
EmilyTav@emilytav.bsky.social · 6mo agoThe Canvas hack that brought campuses globally to a standstill got me thinking about a piece that I wrote in @techpolicypress.bsky.social, about how “technology is the spinal cord of government.” I wrote a few thoughts on what this looks like in schools. www.thehomescreen.org/p/technology...

"we cannot reward and punish our way into a kinder place." Thread.
Jess Lifshitz@jess5th.bsky.social · 6mo agoBecause what we are doing, it is not working. The children are hurting, the educators are hurting and the world is hurting. And it just seems to me that we cannot reward and punish our way into a kinder place. But a real focus on CARE, it just might start to move the needle.
If Black votes didn't matter, they wouldn't be working this hard to steal them. You don't spend millions of dollars and pass dozens of restrictive laws to stop something that "doesn't matter."
If there's one thing I care about more than trans rights its that people at the lowest rungs of society have gifts and talents that equal that at the highest, and their gifts are being squandered, and no one really internalizes that or cares.
“Slave Power” has reconstituted its control over the republic, and the second verse is the same as the first.
Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social · 6mo agoWe've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.
Thank you for calling. Please listen closely, as our menu options have changed. If the old world is dying, please, press 1. For new world is struggling to be born, press 2. If now is the time of- Ok. You selected "Monsters." If it is the time of monsters please have your reservation code ready.
This semester I taught a course on the History of the Far Right in the US. We were lucky to have one of the Pacific Northwest's best contemporary chroniclers and interpreters of the far right, @leahsottile.bsky.social, visit the class. This piece by Leah was inspired by what she heard students say.
Leah Sottile@leahsottile.bsky.social · 6mo agoAs extreme politics have normalized, young people have grown up not knowing any other way. For months, I've spent time getting to know 10 college students who literally do not recall a time in America without Trump.

so far, much of the analysis of Callais out there is focused on what the Court's rulings did to the Voting Rights Act, which is reasonable but now I want to talk about what the Court did to the Constitution bc the threat of Callais goes far beyond the VRA alone ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...
Samuel Alito Didn’t Only Gut the Voting Rights Act. He Rewrote the Constitution, Too
The Court’s decision in Callais will make it more challenging for Congress to pass laws designed to protect multiracial democracy.
