One small sad casualty of GenAI is the clueless home business promo. Up until recently your old-person-run business had bad photoshops and clipart and misused emojis which made you smile and think "oh, they did their best!" This is getting replaced by AI slop which is absolutely charmless.

Some great advice on protesting

Look at this video: a *huge* crowd of Vermonters swaying alongside Mohsen right after he was freed, singing "We Shall Overcome" Signs reading "Hands off our students" & "free speech" are peppered in between large Palestine flags

@edsolomon.bsky.social hi Ed! big fan. i am watching Full Circle again and it rocks. quick question: why do you call it "doing tutor" instead of "being tutored" etc - i've never heard it said that way but they all say it a lot. thank you! love your work.

Jan Schakowsky, the incumbent in my race, will reportedly not seek re-election. So it seems like a good time to reintroduce myself — I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I’m running for Congress.

they want us poor, sick and desperate

i don’t have a lot of faith in our elected officials rn but this is an unequivocally brave and correct thing to do

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

This is a now or never moment. The way we respond over the next few days, as individuals and institutions, is crucial. And currently we're missing the mark. If we don't act now we will lose everything.

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...
