Just went to an "AI in Teaching" panel and one of the panelists told us very proudly about a math prof who made an AI assistant for calc students that was right 80% of the time. Tech-brained beyond repair to not be wildly embarrassed at the prospect of endorsing that as a "resource" to students.

PSA: All of David Lynch's features have just dropped at archive dot org, including Industrial Symphony No 1, Hotel Room, and the Duran Duran concert

always a timely message but especially right now

there are now 2 things in this world that I will deadname and they’re twitter and the gulf of mexico

Let’s discourage people from kissing Trump’s ass all the time.

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

Leon is upset people are calling Teslas Swasticars Hundreds were tagged with this sticker in London

GROW A FUCKING SPINE ALBO. #auspol #freepalestine

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

This Is The Way

Bad. Ass.

These assholes. Sign the petition and tell the QLD government that trans kids aren’t their culture war punching bags.

You’re going to see a lot of your favourites jump on the Trump et al bandwagon this time around in the name of ‘unity’ and ‘bringing people together’. Make no mistake - it’s not unity, it’s capitulation

"fix your hearts or die" is one of the greatest quotes ever said by anyone, in any context and it applies now, more than ever, to far too many people to count

Ooooooof

That Neil Gaiman article is very upsetting reading – please be kind to yourself if you decide to read it. I can’t stop thinking about the fact that his public persona was so kind, so gentle, so different to his true self. We can’t keep letting people like this thrive.

@wotcaitydidnext.bsky.social wooo, welcome! @mezdorey.bsky.social is here, too!

All the people demanding that the ALP give them something to vote for need to realize that our system is based on "least worse" preferences. So vote from the bottom up, worst to best, same in the Senate. #auspol

15 years ago they made a whole ass movie about what a petulant little incel bitch with no good ideas this guy is, and folks didn’t listen, now he’s a petulant little incel bitch who ruined the internet yet is only being rewarded with more power in our new Petulant Bitchocracy of Divorved Bigots

The genocide resulting from climate crisis is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed

I honestly think we are experiencing the end of the internet as those of us born in the 20th c understand it. Smaller, siloed communities like discord servers and newsletters will persist, but the idea of the global public square is dead, as is “the information superhighway.” VCs killed it.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

Fucking monstrous

My message to Zuck

I don't know how effective this is as a teachable method, but I've always believed that if people wanted to understand the nature of capitalism on a visceral level, they should just look up the history of insulin.

Oh. My. God. After a couple of weeks of grumbling at my eldest for leaving the front door open overnight, we’ve realised that THE CAT has worked out how to unlock and open the door himself.

I really appreciate everyone trying to share up to date and accurate information about the LA fires, but man does tonight illustrate on a personal level just what we lost with the total destruction of twitter and the real-time disaster community there

I really would love more Australian content here on BS. I’ll try to do my bit.

WTF?!

Disney is a collection of corporate finance interests, it has never been an ally. The allies have been and always will be the artists and workers Disney employs who want just to make art that connects human beings and touches their hearts. Artists that executives undermine every day for naked greed

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.

Friendly reminder that if art is how we decorate space, then music is how we decorate time. #booksky #music

Disappointed with Albo? Why? What did he or any of those around him ever *do* to lead you to any hopes of any kind from him? You imposed your hopes & dreams on him & them based on the myths of Labor as a People's Party. That myth was disproven 41 years ago, but still people believed it #auspol

Solidarity means joining forces with people you find annoying so you can more effectively fight people who want you dead

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size. At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.
