Reminder: you don't have to engage with AI as an instructor. You can talk about AI--even build AI literacy, if you want to call it that--and still not engage directly with a brutal, unethical, ecologically disastrous bundle of technologies. Regardless of institutional pressure, you can refuse.

Yes. If there's no villain, is it even a soap opera? A good soap villain is essential.
PSA: It's ok to "like" having villains on your soap. It's ok to delight on what fiendish thing they may do next. It's also ok to like their sparkle now and then. #GH

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

the same is true for all images. Thinking today of publisher & author images for sales. Taking a few minutes to add alt text can help reach!
