If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

When Knowledge is Free, What are Professors For?

Higher Education Must Stop Competing with AI on Information and Start Teaching What Machines Can’t Do

I feel like you could only ever be shocked about that republican group chat leak if you were never on the receiving end of their hate. It's only a surprise if you didn't have them up in your replies, telling you the myriad ways they were going to execute you.

You don't get it unless you get it.

Instead of getting revenge, dig a bunch of graves. Get that energy out of your system.

I've been discussing this for a while, but I'm in some absurd amount of debt and need help. I've exhausted many of my options to manage this, and I don't expect people to take care of all of my problems, but I'm opening up a GFM. Help a broke trans/intersex person get stable & safe? #transcrowdfund

I'm advocating for a world where it's okay to be rude to people who, for example, steal artwork through wasteful technologies and then pretend their lack of artistic skill is a disability warranting protection.

Christine used to be a columnist with the Inquirer. She was fired for accusing me of sending Antifa squads to chase her around the suburbs, then threatening to use her column space to write about me as revenge.

She also for some reason got drunk, found a beret, and took selfies dressed as my pfp

I still stand ten toes down on this statement even after I got death threats on Twitter about it. Writing off the south continues to birth resentment and a further divide that shouldn’t even be there. They want a division to make it easier to continue regressive bullshit. Stop. Falling. For. It.

Your understanding of what it means to be silenced seems pretty self-serving. Have you considered that other people are also people and get to respond to your posts if we think what you're saying is garbage? And that it's silly to pretend that us responding retcons your speech out of existence?

No, it's the strong protecting the weak, which in my opinion is the whole point of society.

"Everyone who disagrees with me is the thought police and is bullying me."

See, you telling yourself garbage like this whenever confronted with information that you don't like is why you haven't learned in decades.

In any capacity, you're a Nazi if you work for ICE.

Old White Nepo Hat @kenwhite.bsky.social · 4d

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Ari Cohn @aricohn.com · 4d

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.
