It's past time to be loudly opposing the ongoing attack on the education system and boycotting gen AI and the billionaire losers betting our country's economy and resources on this slop. But if you haven't yet, today is a good day to start

Headline 1 (NPR): "What parents should know about PragerU Kids videos, ehich can now be shown in Florida schools"
Headline 1 Text: "Some videos downplay slavery, question whether humans really cause climate change, and insert opinions into what otherwise appears to be educational content for children."

Headline 2 (MSNBC): "Propaganda platform PragerU is primed to capitalize on Trump's PBS cuts"
Headline 2 text: "The right-wing media outlet has been portrayed as an alternative to PBS children's programs - and it has gotten a boost from the white house."

Headline 3 (NPR): "'Founders Museum' from White House and PragerU blurs history,
Al-generated fiction"

Headline 4 (CNN): "Exclusive: Oklahoma to begin controversial test to weed out "woke' teacher applicants today"
Headline 4 text: "Teachers from "liberal" states who have relocated to Oklahoma and are seeking to work there must take a controversial new
assessment, to be given for the first time today, that "keeps away woke indoctrinators," according to Oklahoma's top education official.
The decision to use the assessment, developed by PragerU, a conservative media company whose teaching materials are now approved for use in public schools in ten US states, opens a" (text cuts off)

Post from More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS which reads: "NetChoice, a tech industry association that represents Amazon, Google, Meta and more wants to increase Al use in schools.
They're promoting Louisiana as an example of "Al education done right."
Here's part of the image they shared in that tweet:"

Attached is an AI generated image of a teacher with text that reads "generative AI for creatuve minds - Louisiana clasrrooms" (classrooms is misspelled)

Headline 5 (Bloomberg): "Al Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring"
Headline 5 text: "Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That's being passed on to customers."

Headline 6 (Fortune): "Sam Altman's Al empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it's
'scary'"

Headline 7 (yahoo! finance): "75% of gains, 80% of profits, 90% of capex-Al's grip on the S&P is total and Morgan Stanley's top analyst is 'very concerned'"

Hornet doesn't "SHAW" anymore

#art #digitalart #fanart #meme #hollowknight #silksong #hornet #shaw

A two panel comic with Hornet from Hollow Knight Silksong. In the first panel she has her arms raised and is saying "Ooh, shaw this! Ooh shaw that!" In the second panel she's turned towards the viewer, looking at them angrily and pointing at them with a big, human-like hand, while the text above her says "Why don't you SHAWT the fuck up"

I’m working on a book, and you can read the first part of it here! It’s got history, weird magic, furries, terrible people falling in love, and lots of body horror.

Was stuck in a rut for a while solving a plot problem, but I’m back to making good progress!

A gentle reminder: If this goal is not met, we will be homeless.

I am an Indigenous person that's been through utter hell in the last two years. I am disabled and queer. Despite being marginalized, I'm the one having to carry the burden of finances. It has been extremely difficult.

Anything helps.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day, I’m a Borikén Taíno creative who is the only income and trying to keep a roof over mine and my partner’s heads.

The last almost two years have been extremely difficult, and many Indigenous people like me live below the poverty line.

my vague memory of newborn bears is that they are very tiny so 2 pounds is my guess

Let’s play a game. Comment with your best guess for how much a newborn grizzly bear* cub weighs. No googling, just give me a number.

Sakher has helped so many people during the past two years. Every time
I talk to him he’s trying to help someone new- but he also needs help himself.

Please don’t scroll past this.
I’m still here… still fighting to survive.
I’m sick, my father is very sick — and we have no way to get treatment.
We live in a tent, in the freezing cold, with nothing but the wind and the sound of our hunger.

i wish people would... discuss how the government has (purposely) failed us all and allowed covid to spread and mutate, mask if you are strong enough, and if not at least mask when you are sick, learn about and talk about eugenics, relearn kindergarten germ control, cough/sneeze INTO your shoulder

i don't know. what i wish, after the last 5 years, ultimately, is that people cared about each other

individualism is encouraged because they don't want class consciousness. they don't want uprisings or outcry or dissent. they don't want to have to do anything, especially spend money

Doaa started this fundraiser mainly for her sister who is really struggling mentally after the death of her husband and son. Doaa and her husband have been trying to help her as much as they can but they are displaced now 💔

Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · 10d

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Doaa. Doaa is the mother of 3 children Omar, 10, Yasmine, 8 and Youseff, 4 but she primarily started this fundraiser to help her sister Amal who lost a husband and son and is trying to support her children Hiam, 13, Omar, 12 and Jawad, 7.
