Its hard to justify a joint terrorism task force when you accept gifts from state sponsors of terror.
A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

An awesome thread.
It's Thanksgiving! Are you getting your eels ready? It's tradition!
The 1st Thanksgiving included a big table full of eels. And it's fitting. Tisquantum brought eels to the starving pilgrims that spring to celebrate their new treaty w/ the local Wampanoag tribe. 1/5

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Hi Thanksgiving doomscrollers who follow me now.
I am a genocide scholar focusing on Indigenous History and Colonial Genocide with a more recent specific focus on the 18th Century!
I would like to do that more on here but mostly its rage and brain droppings.

This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands
And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

To bear out this rosy projection, HSBC assumes that OpenAI will become "as ubiquitous [...] as Microsoft 365" (345mm users worldwide) while bringing in 10x the number of users (3bn).

Reminder that while you do not have to go out of your way to start a political fight with members of your family over Thanksgiving, nor are you under obligation to put up with any of their shit just to be ‘nice’.

I am sure when Puritan John Mason immolated women and children at Mystic in 1637 he did it with no ritual or religious motivation whatsoever.
JD Vance loves nothing more than telling insane lies about this nation’s history
VP JD Vance stood before a crowd and tried to falsify history, claiming Christians ended widespread mass child-sacrifice practices among Native Americans

So my Atlantic World lecture lined up with Thanksgiving and I got to debunk these claims. I even said "You are going to hear people of a certain political motive make these claims and now you know how they aren't true".

That was the original sin.
The more important sin was a country, too addled to understand its own laws and values, electing an insurrectionist conman.
Any other century in this country's history and Donald Trump would have been, to avoid getting phone calls from feds, let's just say arrested.

Considering I catch a lot of AI use by students accidentally citing they use AI or leaving jarring tell-tale signs in the text, I think it is suicidal that universities are teaching any sort of "proper use".
