If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

I was born in 1972. The replacement rate he's panicked about has been below 2.1% for almost every year of my life.

If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution.

Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?

I’m in a room where a whole ass faculty member said “Chat GPT 5 would be able to write a better NSF proposal than me” and… well…

My inside thoughts got the best of me BC I said loud as fuck “that’s unfortunate, because there’s not a machine on earth that writes better than me.”

A. This isn’t what learning is and
B. Sadly more and more classes are being pushed in this direction as class sizes go through the roof because states and universities refuse to invest in their faculty

If you're the Dems and you were scared of immigration as a topic before, I might try making it an issue now that masked goons are beating the shit out of innocent people in the streets on a daily basis. A lot of people are probably not down with this whatever their views on immigration are

yeah and many of these MOOC bros are also ADMINISTRATORS who've somehow moved UP in the hierarchy since their failed predictions & technofetishist futurisms turned into (as they were always destined to be) complete failures. we have an entire new institute here dedicated to continuing the project!

I came to the comments to add that. You have to stop philosophizing when you hit that wrong.

In response to the No Kings protest in Austin, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is sending in the National Guard, the Texas Rangers, state troopers & Public Safety personnel “supported by aircraft and other tactical assets.” www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

“Kids”

Black autistic adults especially those who were late-diagnosed deserve to be heard too.
Our stories aren’t less valid just because they don’t match the “typical” autism narrative.
We exist, we’re here, and we matter

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

The only they are improving on at this point is surveillance and data tracking.

And people like me will buy them for cheap and run old software on them because enforced obsolescence is bullshit.

Man teaching a novel this week has been a DREAM. Everyone read it. Everyone had complex thoughts about it. They helped me notice brand new things about a book I've read at least six times. Time flew so fast just talking to each other, no electronics, that we didn't even realize class was over

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

“Please someone listen to me, I don’t want to die”

These are the words of a woman named Harmonie who had an ectopic pregnancy

Her obgyn refused to help, citing a
1% chance the fetus could survive

She lives in a blue state & still couldn’t access the life saving care she needed

Our local Antifa cell meets in the community center of our retirement home. Our treasurer, Harold, was taken to the hospital last Friday. No one knows where he kept the cash box, and now we have to pay for the donuts out of our own pockets. I'd never heard Meg swear before.

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

It's amazing how incredibly explicitly OpenAI seems to be admitting that they have no idea how to actually monetize their automated lying machine.

Two sets of parents who are currently suing OpenAI for losing their kids to suicide because of ChatGPT might have something to say about "now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues" part.

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

The Trump administration has disbanded dozens of science and bioethics advisory committees, including a panel of scientific experts and patient advocates advising the NIH on biosafety and ethical issues related to CRISPR gene drives, gene therapies, and data privacy.
