I’m sick of private companies ruining education! Why is it always buy more tech and not hire more teachers? Pay teachers? Smaller classrooms? Kids need hands on caring teachers! That’s how you receive education better suited for your kids! This is horrifying! Kids with disabilities deserve better!

@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.

I rarely share personal news here but: I was laid off from my job in public sector communications based in the East Bay. I want to channel this life change into a time where I write as much as possible. So if you want to collab with me or have leads in writing opportunities, please DM me!

If people were just honest about how bad a president Reagan was instead of thinking about how good he made the country feel about dismantling the regulatory and social safety net, maybe we’d have stopped doing this bullshit sooner.

gotta say it’s pretty weird how the official Trump insta page has become devoted to this weird trolling of musicians who hate his guts

So the price of challenging surveillance becomes disclosing the very associations you say were surveilled. Finally, a good reason to call something Kafkaesque.

BIZARRE: Earlier this year, the Trump administration was sued for violating protesters' First Amendment rights in Maine. Now, they're trying to use that lawsuit to obtain Signal group chats that the protesters were in, which attorneys say is itself a 1A violation. www.wired.com/story/dhs-wa...

"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."

OPINION: "[N]ow, almost a year after Trey (Reed) died, while much of the national attention has disappeared, Nick (Judin) is still making the calls, still asking the questions and still standing beside a family that says they are waiting for answers," Erica Powe writes.

I clocked out early today to do this

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

A former Boston University student just helped force the resignation of India's Education Minister. Abhijeet Dipke's "Cockroach" movement, launched just weeks ago, has grown into nationwide protests that pushed the minister to step down.

One of the things about generative AI that particularly infuriates me is that some of the most fun I’ve ever had has been teaching myself how to do things around my own constraints I’m bad at art too. But I have PaintShop Pro! So I found some tutorials and *taught myself to make book covers*

Most of the shirt designs I have done are and will remain single, limited run. That's what's what I like to do. But some designs I've done have been so popular that people never stop bugging me about them, and they've been bootlegged 100s of times. So rawpaw.ink/collections/...

One might conclude that Bari Weiss and Olivia Rheingold are Islamophobic liars who have no business posing as journalists.

I own keffiyehs from my travels to Jordan and the West Bank. There's nothing wrong with them. I'd bet some were at this event. This is also a very specific and seemingly questionable framing that they led a newsletter with.
