if only the institutions investing in ed AI would invest in pedagogy instead.

GO GET YOUR FUCKING PASSPORTS

Suggest masking in groups and around strangers (you know if you need to with family or friends.) You don't want this, says a good friend who can barely swallow water. :(

What a glorious day. Check your voter registration, North Carolina. We have elections in November.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

For my friends who are protesting tomorrow, a quick reminder

Had some more to say on the "riots" and "invasion" in LA. If it’s a "riot," it’s the police who are rioting. If there’s an “invasion” of LA, it’s the US military that is invading.

ngl this map of scheduled protests for this weekend is *wild*

They're trying to MAGA-ify a #library in Appalachia - don't let them! #fundraiser www.ourlibraryourvoice.com

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

A cartoon from my next book. Physics for Cats will be out in the autumn from @dandq.bsky.social and @canongate.co.uk with other languages coming soon.

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

I love these books, and the TV show is doing a great job bringing them to life!

Well, I'm 35 now, which means that hypothetically I could run for president. I am now accepting topics for my hypothetical platform. (I mean, besides the obvious ones, like healthcare and gay rights)

Public pressure works! Keep it going.

“No one was interested. They were like, ‘This is just RoboCop’ and we were like, ‘No, it's not at all. It's the anti-RoboCop,'” Goyer recalled. “It's about neurodivergence. It's about humanity.”” www.forbes.com/sites/timlam...

I can't believe we have to keep banging this drum, but it's the simple truth. The GOP has been literally incapable of basic governance since at least 2000 because it's against their ethos of always being angry at whatever grievance lets them pretend to be bullied - being in power proves they're not.

that’s the mf boss folks

There’s no freedom to say yes without the freedom to say no.

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

Federal workers are hurting--and some of them are dying. For the White House, this is success.

game devs i don't care how rude and insulting you name the "easy baby loser story mode" i'm still gonna play it and not feel bad about it for one second

FACT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're not cringing, you're not growing.
