Don’t get your hopes up about any of the kids deployed on illegal missions to intimidate, humiliate and provoke the public.

Not “war crimes”, because there’s no war. Call it murder or terror.

I'd encourage educators to work from the standpoint that AI was, from the off, intended as an assault on their institutions. The Venn diagram between AI evangelists and people who want to replace democracy with techno-feudalism is a circle.

…Because I approached Guard members in half a dozen encounters and never detected any wariness in their demeanor or body language. They were all attention, courtesy, and professionalism—mostly, anyway.
I don’t know just how I’ll approach them next time, but I will. \5

GA National Guard members in Federal Center SW metro station.
I don’t enjoy doing it, but I always approach them, because they shouldn’t think their occupation of DC is normal, nor should we. It’s a matter of my dignity

…The subhead is tendentious enough:
