I wanna see everyone waddling around, puffed up like pillsbury doughboys because of all the layers they’re wearing.
Listen.

The temp at 2pm tomorrow will be -8. That’s nothin

I’m asking privileged able bodied white people in the Twin Cities to bundle up LIKE YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO and show up down town tomorrow. Commons Park.

We need numbers like we’ve never seen before.

Wife: AI is Ivermectin. Can't do what it promises to do and awful people sell you on it for other uses and at the end of the day you're still buying Ivermectin.

“To us, these are the redcoats.”

Reporting from Minneapolis, on the many lives being destroyed by ICE and Border Patrol’s criminal invasion of the city.

And also on all the good people standing up against them.

This is terrible messaging and terrible politics. It is also exactly “who we are” historically.

The reason so many contemporary novels are bad is because they choose nothing, there is no choosing, there is only reflection. The game completely paralyzing when no one is allowed to truly lose

If we can raise $1k in the next three days, we're going to get another drum for our risograph so we can give away free posters and zines printed with a color that's not just red or black (as much as we love red and black of course).

One of my niche ethical stances is that I think that people should use Wikipedia and donate to the Wikimedia Foundation and that ChatGPT and its siblings are trash and so are the people who use them.

Lots of people with money who want to make more are telling you this is a tool you have to learn or you'll be Left Behind but as with all tools, you can use your own brain and experience to decide if it's a thing that helps you do your job better and a thing you think is ethical.

If Democrats want to take economic populism seriously, they would be talking about broad-scale medical debt relief, wide-spread student debt relief, and rent-control + tenant protections. People's largest bill every month is usually rent. If not rent, probably a debt payment.

A short list of reasons why you can’t be a teacher that wants to fight authoritarianism and use generative AI in your classroom:

-the producers of this product are front and center enabling democratic backsliding
-they are the men who will be enriched by this product being widely adopted

going on out a limb here to say that all murder is political and that if your vision of politics structurally necessitates and even discursively celebrates murder while disavowing it as murder or political that is bad

Panicking about math, reading, and science scores while diverting resources to "AI in schools" is nonsensical, but here we are.

The declines in scores began a decade ago with the influx of devices and edtech software into K-12 schools.

It's not the only factor, but it is important.
A new Nation's Report Card shows drops in science, math and reading scores
It's the first Nation's Report Card since the Trump administration began making cuts to the U.S. Education Department. The scores reflect the state of student achievement in early 2024.
