The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.
People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Women’s status is very rapidly eroding—in their civil rights protections, healthcare, access to the public sphere, and the cultural support for their independence and dignity. But there is no feminism: our public gender discourse is divided between transphobia and handwringing about man’s feelings.

Someone on here compared AI produced material as "digital asbestos " which in a few decades' time we will have to work out how to eradicate from the fabric of research.
From my own academic research, even pre LLMs there was a huge danger of zombie factoids that begin in a respectable publication by mistake and then get reprinted for decades because no one is backtracing to the original source. Once bad info gets into the system it can take years to clear it out.
I've seen numerous examples of this in recent days - we're at a point where some reporters are using LLMs as a source and not even remotely properly factchecking, but also where LLM generated material is making its way into other material and being unknowingly reproduced by others.

You are not being snubbed, people find AI usage unethical and harmful.
I’m a historian and a K-12 educator and I use AI. My Bluesky is full of people I respect, all regularly posting about how they dislike AI and the people who use it. Many are in higher ed and/or the larger history field.
So - we’re just alienating K-12 teachers and others who are using AI tools now?

The EHRC's bathroom ban is simply unworkable.
The body representing museums and galleries in Scotland has warned the EHRC's proposals may force museums to close their doors.
“To avoid discrimination, it would require every person using toilets to be checked, adding substantial workload and staff costs."
