This article has stayed with me 13 years. In a time where ahistorical accounts of how this country's founders navigated the subjugation of Black people are being used to justify all kinds of modern-day horrors, stuff like this is important to elevate. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-...

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process is how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

Have been thinking about how TACO—which I’ve laughed at, too—misdirects. Trump doesn’t chicken out. His imaginary world of “invasions” and “ripoffs” constructed of ignorance and bigotry is, to quote Orwell, “a false belief [that] bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.”

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

The tech industry needs serious, meaningful regulation about the things it can sell and how it can sell them, and the neoliberal bullshit of “free markets” has allowed this nakedly harmful software to proliferate, taking advantage of the fact that more people than ever feel alone and desperate

When MN Democrats last held the gov trifecta until 2024, they had a narrative that they’d been given a trifecta so they could use it, not waste it. Hortman herself said, "The reason you have political capital is to do something.”
