This is a small sample and early research, but there is growing evidence that AI use reduces cognitive abilities

This is less turnout than a Disneyland parade and they have two per day.

The cultural illiteracy

‘I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her‘ — James Baldwin

Really hard to make the case for constitutional monarchy when this is what you’re working with.

I am already that housewife

Whoever paid us to be here must be broke

Yep

Chardon, Ohio, population 5242 in 2020 census, had approximately 400 people show up in the rain. #nokings

Authoritarians want you to feel isolated and alone, to feel like their vision of the world is the only one. That’s why taking part in public protests matters. You connect with other people like you and you show those numbers off to the world. It’s a great feeling. Try it!

125k new students this summer, and then every new student in the fall, but if you want students to have aid disbursed in the fall, the system would need to be up and running now, not in Sept. This is going to be a mess, and as always, will harm poor students www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

You have to add up all the red bars and stack them on top of each other to pay for the green bar.

My colleagues and I represented a distinguished group of retired military leaders on a brief explaining why domestic deployments of the military should happen only in the rarest of circumstances and in strict accordance with the law. Please read and share what they said.

This guy said with his full chest that he’s given his deputies permission to murder people and then said “this has got to stop”

I’ve had toddlers cry when serving them what was their favourite food the day before. There’s an entire article genre of “why is my toddler crying” www.boredpanda.com/funny-reason...

So just making sure I’ve got my understanding all squared away. States rights good when it’s abortion and lax gun laws? States rights bad when it’s clean energy and immigrants rights?

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

If you manage people, build good relationships with your teams when things are going well. It is how you will get through and still all like each other when things are bloody hard. My team is wonderful, and also very gracious of my current level of brain melt.

You know, here’s the funny thing about seasons… www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I got to spend a few minutes chatting with Chancellor Tammeil Gilkerson, from the Equity Avengers, about the defining tale of two cities moment early in my career that made me want to do what I can to support students, watch on for that, plus walk on musical choices www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzRT...

What a shame

There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

Diane Auer Jones gets it right here. Making full time 15 credits for Pell eligibility and especially making it impossible to get Pell if you are less than half time, would harm access and completion. Thankfully that change is not in the senate version www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

But I was told we were going to be great!

Here is a community refresher on the Natl Guard that I co authored in 2020. Even more relevant today. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Wired is putting both the NYT and WaPo to shame with their excellent reporting. It's one thing to say our legacy media is broken (and it is!), but being able to point to a concrete example of how you do it right makes that indictment a thoroughly convincing one.

Scenes from Monday night's anti-ICE protest in the Mission

Probably a coincidence that she feels this way when she has over 100k followers on Twitter and <1000 here

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

If you live in LA and you need a reminder of why voting matters Just imagine if Robert Luna wasn’t our sheriff, and instead alex villanueva had won another term Most people probably don’t think of the importance of voting for sheriff on their ballot, but you are seeing it right now

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

The boy has redeemed himself

Having kids is awesome. How else could I look forward to a little ice cream sandwhich treat all day, only to discover they have all been eaten

“You’re trying really hard to not miss out on your child’s life, and to be there for them and with them, and be present, but your mind is always on school or work, or on what you need to get done every single day and trying to keep up on household stuff like the dishes and laundry.”
