When have fashion and "taste" NOT been about class?
Between "dress better when you fly" and seeing several articles about "why don't Americans dress better when they" in major publications, it feels like there's a creeping move toward classism disguised as fashion or taste happening and it feels very intentional.

I am increasingly convinced that "AI" is a tool for people who aren't particularly smart or creative and are angry about it to get back at smart and creative people.
I set aside one class session in each of my classes to read articles about and discuss the impact of AI. One common sentiment I heard was that my students were worried that their younger siblings would simply not learn how to write or think for themselves because they'd let AI do it for them.

This bleak (but unfortunately compelling) thread makes me think that the individual human mind/psyche is just ill-suited to being plugged into machines that allow everyone everywhere to be simultaneously talking about everything that has ever happened or could have happened at any time in any place.
This is not a "students today" post--it's more "this is a new form of dysfunction" that doesn't look exactly like it's been in previous decades. It's more than just "first-year chaos." It's an across-the-board inability to process instructions, engage with longer texts, and *connect* with others.

Reporters should just assume that every time a name is redacted and the person isn't obviously a victim being protected, that the reference is to Trump.
To be clear, the FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime over a FIVE DAY PERIOD last March. And yes, part of it was to find and redact Trump's name. I spoke to sources who reviewed the files for the FBI and DOJ and wrote about it here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

Frank should take a moment to consider his part in this. Not in anti-vaxx, at least not as far as I know, but for his role in debasing political language to make shitty ideas palatable, which has definitely helped Republicans in the last, oh, 30 years or so. Seriously. Fuck that guy.
