New piece from me about the ways the unfettered use of AI to make decisions about the core parts of our lives--our health care, our work, our housing, our kids' education, our public benefits--exacerbates the threats against an already-weakened democracy. Plus, some big-picture ideas to fight back!

New meta-analysis with strong evidence the expertise reversal effect "is a thing." Instructional support helps low prior knowledge learners and impedes high prior knowledge learners. Personalizing instructional design matters, friends.#PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky doi.org/10.1016/j.le...

Cutting NIH or NSF funding sounds abstract. Seeing what research is actually being cut makes it real. Kudos to @nytimes.com for this piece: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Campaigns are job interviews. The way he’s organized and delegated during his campaign, the alliances he’s built, and the messages and communication that have made him a viable candidate are demonstrated evidence of how he will handle the office.

Cuomo used state resources to investigate and smear his victims, including but not limited to seeking subpoenas for their gynecology records. He also placed covid+ patients in nursing homes, knowing the risk to elderly residents.

Make your call today. On April 25th, in Frankenmuth, MI, Democrat @slotkin.senate.gov said she's supporting GOP and agribusiness trying to cut farm worker wages. If you stand with farmworkers, act now. Protect farm worker wages! #WeFeedYou

“Federal law enforcement officers on the scene declined to say what the purpose of the raid was, and directed the Reformer to an email address for ICE’s media contact. Some declined to identify which agency they were with. Most wore masks.” That's called secret police and it looked like it.

To see everyday people standing up to heavily armed agents of ICE, FBI, every police state agency, just going out on the street & yelling at them & saying shame on you, get out of our neighborhood, & then they do, they turn around & leave, in this case the shouting beats back the weapons💥

Just reminding y'all of the Congressionally mandated report (condition on education) that ED did not put up by the deadline of June 1st AND when a reporter reached out asking why they missed the date, they threw up old tables/figures and links to other websites

I'm biased, but this report is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the state of AI in 2025. It explains how AI is entrenching power for big tech and the oligarch class, speeding deregulation, dislodging human expertise and threatening workers—and how there's still time to refuse all that.

When I do this kind of thing (if you're new here, hi, I do this kind of thing) I get a lot of "all my electeds are R, it won't matter." 1. They still need to know - we pay them! 2. Lots & lots of calls can induce enough fear to sway them. 3. WEATHER IS NON-PARTISAN. THEY DON'T WANT THE BLOW BACK.

"I’m not interested in reading something that nobody wrote. I read because I want to understand how somebody sees something, and there’s no ‘somebody’ inside [AI]. It’s just a collage made from lots of different people’s words." - @emilymbender.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
