@rweingarten.bsky.social, this is a horror. Teachers cited in this article say they're using "A.i." to develop lesson plans for kids with disabilities and imply that they're feeding student data into LLMs. This is using untested, dangerous teach on vulnerable kids AND possibly violating privacy law.

“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.”

Heya folks! I'm Gnome (he/him, trans). Love living in Chicago and working in games! I run a stationery club and host community events IRL & on Discord at CozyStationeryClub.com! Currently on streaming hiatus, but I’ll be back! Open to collabs & freelance social media & community management work 🧡

Enjoyed this Esquire feature on the Churchwell brothers. IMO, they are among the last elegantly dressed men in the United States. Notably, neither are "fashion influencers." They are both distinguished cardiologists with great taste and a lifetime relationship with the same tailor.

happy riverfront brawl in montgomery, alabama day to all who celebrate ✨

Hi there, an educator here. We don’t need training on AI. We know what it is. We’re holding on for dear life until private equity decides to move on to the next shiny thing. I just hope there are enough of us still around to pick up the pieces.

I place my cutlery down, sip my orange juice, and then look across to my beautiful wife in the soft morning light. Me: well, I better head to the office now and…*voice becomes robotic*…BEGIN SORTING AND ORGANISING THOUSANDS OF FACTS My glass shatters, the plate cracks, my wife bursts into tears.

Aparna Nair@disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 2d ago

"History involves sorting and organizing hundreds of thousands of facts" I remain astounded by how loud and wrong people are about what history actually is.

*stares at new fire emblem* I need a job 😭

I still remember a "cookout" on a 90+ F day, where the hosts had raw chicken sitting out in the heat. I tried to tell my husband to stick with the potato chips, and he didn't hear me. We remain extra vigilant about food handling practices.

I still remember people getting upset at me when I said that Thanksgiving leftovers aren't safe to eat after ~4 days. It just reminded me why I don't do potlucks.

It's honestly deeply distressing how many people were Deeply Traumatized by being mildly inconvenienced and made it their whole personality and yes I am referring to people in the laptop class

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 3d ago

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

I’ve been writing a counter narrative of shutdowns that has me revisiting media from that time. And let me tell you, the only other option was everybody die. So yeah.

I don't wanna dogpile, but science communicators need to understand that if they do "research" with chatgpt. 1 of 2 things happen. 1. Your audience begins to believe that chat gpt is a reputable source and begin using it. 2. Your audience sees you as a poisoned well that can never be trusted.

Omg not Hank Green using AI for research and calling to his “bad habit” 💀😭🤡

The answer to "why does everything suck now" almost ALWAYS goes back to "venture capital." Which goes back to "a lot of people have too much money and don't know what to do with it." Which goes back to: "We need to tax rich people more." It's like it's the solution to 99% of our problems!!

I briefly burned through the free uses of this accursed AI Google Earth editor (yes, bad me) and I have two things to report. 1. This is bad and it will only be used for evil. We are already living in a hellscape of misattributed war footage, AI content, & fake accounts 2. This will only get worse

Hank, buddy, is asking a five year old research? No because the five year old, much like the disgusting ai, has no idea what they're talking about and will likely parrot something they heard that probably isn't correct I say this like he might read this, unfortunately he probably won't

Seeing news of Google DeepMind killing AplhaFold and people rightly pointing out how it fueled hype of general AI, and cannot help think back of the mansplainers in my mentions about this post 🙄

Iris van Rooij 💭@irisvanrooij.bsky.social · 3w ago

Protein folding is intractable in general, so the barrier cannot have been broken algorithmically in general. Where is the scam hidden? Either algorithms consume super-polynomial resources or they are simply not solving the problem reliably. There is no other way, unless P = NP So which is it?

Meanwhile, members of the "laptop class" railed against public health interventions that saved lives and undermined vaccination uptake while dismissing the people who were actually on the ground providing care & addressing unmet needs.

"I was in a hurry and used AI. Oops, sorry it was all wrong." Darlings. Sweethearts. Listen to me. If you're in a creative field and do this, you have no excuse. None. Especially now. The gen AI stole from YOU. The gen AI stole from your FRIENDS. It is wrong a lot! You should know and do better.

For writers worried that they won't be able to "prove" their work isn't Spicy Autocomplete--worry not. You thought about every choice and will be able to talk about those choices easily and clearly. Folks who used the slop machine didn't make choices and won't have anything to say about why

What problem does making food accessible solve? 🤔🤔🤔

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · last wk.

Politics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.

I have never seen someone so flummoxed by the concept of feeding people lmao

Sharing in case someone needs to see this - if you are a fallopian tube having person and do not want to have any more children and are having any kind of abdominal surgeries seriously consider getting them removed. its wild how this recent this knowledge is.

Morgan Thompson@morgankthomp.bsky.social · last wk.

Woah, this is huge news: most ovarian cancer begins in the fallopian tubes, which can be removed (if patient desires) during other abdominal surgeries. Ovarian cancer has vague symptoms and often isn’t diagnosed until late stage with low survival rates. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/h...

Very sad to say that I was laid off yesterday along with a bunch of great @salon.com colleagues My time there was short and busy: I got to write about books and relationships and how much gen AI sucks and people being horny for Frankenstein’s monster Some of my faves are linked below
