In their excitement to escalate this minor protest into a whole thing, these lawless idiots are massively overplaying their hand. I hope people can see this for what it is and get prepared.

Was it a trans dude trolling her? After all, she thinks she can always 'tell' 😁

It's amazing to watch so many people be completely unable to imagine the scope of the problems we are facing. This alone is why we need more people who have LIVED THRU SHIT to be in leadership positions. If nothing bad has ever happened to you, you simply can't imagine how horrible things can get.

True, but these voters were also told that there were millions of horrible, murderous people in the country that were obviously 'bad' and SHOULD be deported. It's dumb that they believed that. But it's not far fetched that many would be surprised by the reality of what mass deportation entails.

Saw someone call this collection 'cowardcore'. Perfect.

Somebody is definitely passive-aggressively tanking this effort from the inside. These pictures are too perfect for encapsulating this moment of corporate cowardice to not be intentional...right? Put this shit in a museum.

And who was president in 2020?

Knowing what amazing things we are capable of when we have good leadership is making this whole thing so much more painful. It feels like such an unbearable waste.

Everyday I can't believe we are here and am also not surprised we are here. This shit is insane.

Exactly. How long ago were these negotiations started? Before he took office?

That has already happened. They came out and said they were asked by the administration to consider selling the plane to the US and trump decided to spin the story as it being a gift-- apparently without realizing how much worse that would be.

Well, that was dumb.

Hey kids- let's make some deep fakes of public figures to spew whatever bullshit hallucinations chatGPT spits out instead of learning to write! Education!

What the F are these policies? Who is thinking this asinine stuff up, who is it serving, and why in god's name is anyone listening to them?

That price tag 👀 what an enormous waste of money spent on further confuing students about the potential and legitimacy of chatGPT

I continue to be mystified by why this is happening with nobody asking them WHY they are doing this. Make them keep explaining it, even if they lie. Annoy the shit out of them. How are they not being hounded by science journalists about this?

The book that is read by 200 people that turn around and incorporate that information into lectures (live, in person YouTube videos) for dozens/hundreds/thousands of students. The archival of books is still easier and makes them a critical source for standardizing and preserving detail knowledge.

Lots of people have YouTube videos on their CVs. It's not equivalent to a paper but is a different, valued contribution

It's different from old school cheating because the students are less sure that they are cheating. When you download/buy/reuse a paper, you are clear that you are taking an unauthorized short cut. When you use ChatGPT to summarize primary sources and write an outline for you, the cheat is less clear

The writing coming out of this administration really proves what a ship of anti-intellectual dipshits they've got. Can they not find one trained coms person to proofread this crap?

I would argue that the aggravating conversations that we were having in 2020/21 demonstrated quite clearly that a good chunk of scientists don't care about stuff beyond their own careers

The same people who insist that gender is so inherent and immutable that trans people simply cannot exist -- are constantly anxious about the state of their own masculinity. Perfect. No notes.

If there is no money to train smart people in specific fields, we will not reap the benefits of their talents in their fields. Nobody is launching a startup cancer lab in their garage like a tech wunderkind. It takes a massive public investment to make those discoveries possible.

This is insane. How is that every press conference is not spent trying to pin these people down on WHY they are doing this?

Conservatives take EVERYTHING as an attack. Their media is cynical and opportunistic. There is no way to craft a perfect message that doesn't not immediately end up being blasted apart by cynical right wing media folks. The only way to forward is to stay united against it and keep arguing the merits
