The billionaire class poisons activist discourse spaces by filling them with white noise, making it harder to use the internet to build social movements. Now they're coming for the knowledge spaces too, at a time when political assaults on real-world learning spaces are growing.

Open all of the crossings. Let in lifesaving aid at scale, from all directions. Lift restrictions on what & how much aid we can bring in. Ensure our convoys aren’t held up by delays and denials. Release the hostages. Implement the ceasefire. Let us work.

I think this is such a major driver of AI use in university assessments. And also just a real… disconnection between why we think students are here (to learn about history!) and why students think they are here (to get good grades, to get a job)

The Ada Lebu lemon I had to try was knobbly and green, and the fruit was probably too sharp even for cooking or making desserts without liberal amounts of sugar. It does have these cool seeds that are tinged with a lovely pink colour, though.

My first Lulo! (I prefer the name Naranjilla). Smells really nice. Texture kind of like a kiwi fruit/tomato cross? I see some people who try it say it tastes like rhubarb, but for me it’s definitely sharper than that. It’s very tart. Would probably rock in the equivalent of a key lime pie.
