"We are exporting the very labor of teaching and learning—the slow work of wrestling with ideas, the enduring of discomfort, doubt and confusion, the struggle of finding one’s own voice."

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

I feel like being a tortoise would be pretty chill. Never have to move fast, eat as much salad as you want, be your own house. Sure there would be inconveniences, but also you don’t have to pay taxes

After turning off the AI "smart features" in gmail my inbox now permanently has two unread ghost emails that I cannot find and cannot clear. So now I know I have a new email when the number ticks up to three. I guess that's what I get for not wanting my email to be smart.

On any given day in the USA there are more children being sexually assaulted in a place of worship than there are trans folks playing sports. But sure! Tell me more about how you're just concerned with keeping kids safe.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.
