You will be surprised to learn that I do not believe there is a “moral imperative“ to teach educators about AI.

“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.”

CARTOON OF THE DAY (if you know who made this let us know)

well of course the Giants would trade away the best hitter in the league

I was home from work a week before the state of emergency was called. Almost every day that week and the week after I got a work email saying that someone in the office had tested positive for covid and all close contacts had been notified.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

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.

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

the og Miss Marple series has the best costuming. fabulous period tailoring. gonna watch ‘em all again for the threads!

I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

Jennifer Romig @jennifermromig.bsky.social · 4d ago

Notetaking in meetings is tiny case in point - used to be some predictable social assumptions who would do it; now anyone can offer to do ”notetaking” by turning on the AI listener. Further interesting scenario is human recollection / notes (taken by habit by a person) conflict with AI summary

I believe this 100%. The moral injury of the period, the grief from not just the too and so many deaths but the kinds of lives we had before, the laying bare of disposability, the non covid deaths it sped, the institutional strain, the collective fear and distrust, the prioritization of work anyway

One of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.

"Debates over World War II became popular at Heritage, with a lot of “rehashing and going through who was the bad guy and who were the good guys,”" Also, sounds like a lot of anti-Semitism at the Heritage Foundation. Maybe Trump's task force on anti-Semitism could look into this!

i am fully enjoying the emily wilson christopher nolan brawl. everyone should be yelling about 3000 year old poems actually

Someday, we’re going to look back and laugh about this season… Until then: #SFGiants 🥃⚾️ .

🤖 Justice delos Santos Landen Roupp's night is done with two outs in the fourth. He threw 37 pitches in the fourth before being given the hook. The Giants trail, 2-0, and JT Brubaker is inheriting a bases-loaded mess.

ugh finally this half-inning is over

uh these yokels in their doofy uniforms. Giants, you are killing me

After refusing to sell, Huddleston’s daughter, Delsia Bare, “joined a lawsuit against the data center project.” “Money don’t mean anything if you don’t have food, water and can’t breathe. And they’re not making any more land,” said Huddleston, 82. “You can’t get food out of a data center.”

“After refusing $26 million to turn farm into AI data center, mom and daughter join fight against mysterious Fortune 100 company,” @people.com reports. “God gave the land to us to take care of,” said Ida Huddleston. “And that’s what we are doing.” people.com/mom-daughter...
