Name the game. "Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief." - Chris Murphy (read his summary below)

I'll be honest, Wired being the only popular media that refuses to sanewash was not on my bingo card. I so appreciate them.

Goddamn. It would actually be better if the NYT stopped fucking publishing than if it continued. Talk about dying without a shred of dignity left.

I can't help but think that the first step is to decline compliance. I get that the US is throwing its financial weight around, but can it really afford to; can companies not afford to lose US gov contracts; and does the capitalist love of money truly suck EVERYONE'S souls out of their bodies? 🤷

If a company says they won't comply, can't they dispute this in our courts because, again, EO isn't law? Is there actually enough domestic capability to replace all foreign contractors who don't comply? And if this creates budget problems, isn't that also going to be 47 ultimately eating shit?

I can't pretend to know the nuances of government contracting, but a few things I'm wondering: can the US actually afford to go with higher cost domestic contractors every time? What actually happens if a company just says no? Doesn't the US already prioritize domestic contractors over foreign 1/x

I'm begging educators not to just accept when a salesperson or superior says "we're going to consider/balance AI's risks and rewards" but to tally up the risks and ask yourself what rewards for your particular students in your particular classroom could possibly approach that.

Many don't want to hear this, but pushing AI hard in your schools or on students, you risk:
-deskilling your & your colleague's jobs
-putting future teachers out of theirs
-depersonalizing & dehumanizing ed
-endangering the planet students will inherit
-further empowering authoritarian tech bros

Thank you! I'm losing my shit here. They aren't enforceable BECAUSE THEY AREN'T LAWS. They aren't mandatory BECAUSE THEY AREN'T LAWS. This shit doesn't have any significance outside the US BECAUSE THEY AREN'T LAWS. Ffs

The loss of love is the kind that creeps up on you until finally you wake up one day and realize you're no longer in love with the person you sleep next to, and you have been unhappy in your relationship for a long time.

This isn't even a good analogy. I've fallen out of love with Chicago, and I know it because of the feeling I get in Boston.
