I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

At this point, nothing that man does is nuts. This is no longer 2015. Either we deal with that and what is or we'll continue focusing on how this isn't normal and is unprecedented, like we've done the last 10 years, while things get worse, not just daily, but hourly.

There’s two reasons why: 1) they will never admit they were wrong 2) they’re not interested in doing things the proper way because they made a decision coming into this 2nd Trump presidency that laws and norms are for chumps and they won’t be bound by them

Here in SEC Country, the value they stand for is how much $ the sports teams bring in. "It jUsT MeAnS mOrE!"

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

I really hate the HBO/Max algorithm where right after I finish watching Last Week Tonight with John Oliver it pops up a screen to try to get me to watch Maher's shitshow.

"...the world's declining birth rates...". If you're only talking about white people! @cnn.com

lord willing we will one day prosecute miller for crimes against humanity

I had a job all throughout the Great Financial Crisis, that doesn't mean that being constantly worried about losing my job didn't fuck me up big time.

Bruce Springsteen: End of the day, factory whistle cries / Men walk through these gates with death in their eyes Howard Lutnick: Finally we are going to re-onshore those wonderful factories from the Bruce Springsteen song, "Factory"

New — I spoke to the school principal of Sackets Harbor, NY, where ICE handcuffed and disappeared a mother and 3 kids (including a 3rd grader). It’s also the town Trump Border Czar Tom Homan calls home. Cook tells me about how the small town is taking on enormous power to bring the students home:

Breaking character: Today’s nationwide protest are going to be huge and historic. Trump’s approval rating is dropping like a rock. Now is the time to step on the gas.

The additional verses to "Those Were the Days" include Archie singing "50 dollars paid the rent" and "Freaks we're in a circus tent"

Seriously people stop this

New from me: Come for the righteous anger, stay for the tortured metaphor involving an imaginary press conference with a beluga sturgeon. radleybalko.substack.com/p/profiles-i...

It's stuff like this which is why I'm here. For the record, for me it's anything by fucking Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons, but especially the mid-70's hit "Who Loves You," just an abomination of an attempt at soul music.

This piece from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social starts with a bang and just gets better and better. Gift link.

I'm a Believer of the Pitchbot (yes, the Monkees had the hit, but Neil wrote it)

Sweet Karoline With cracklin' Pete hitting the red, red wine and no tourists coming to America, how much longer can jazz singer Leavitt's Longfellow serenades hide the fact that Brother Don's traveling salvation show is on the rocks? by Maureen Dowd

Happy One Month Anniversary to this story.

Spring is here. Love the live oak branch that can't make up it's mind which way to go.

BIG TENT PARTY 🔥💙🇺🇸

Whether your kid needs extra help learning to read or an in-classroom aide, the Department of Education is how schools get resources they need. We can't let Trump and Musk take their chainsaw to our children's future just to give more tax handouts to their billionaire friends.

Kansas vs. Arkansas. Is it CAN-SIZ vs. R-CAN-SIZ or CAN-SAW vs. R-CAN-SAW?

BREAKING: A federal judge in Maryland has just barred DOGE from accessing Social Security, saying the group is on a "fishing expedition" that jeopardizes people's personal data. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Free newsletter today. Inside: Major League Baseball has scrubbed its Diversity and Inclusion page. They have not returned my inquiry about this from over 24 hours ago. Since this published I've found more examples and will be writing more on it tomorrow. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

On an Alabama car!

one thing i do not like about these days is that i am filled with hate for so many people

The rhodendron periclymenoides, aka pink azaleas, are everywhere right now.

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

My congressman. One bright light out of Louisiana in the tar pit of Mike Johnson, Cassidy, Kennedy, Scalise, Higgins, Landry......

Senator Merkley is spot on! Vote NO on cloture and Vote NO the Trump/Musk CR!

Always love to stop on my way to work and watch the horses do their thing at the track.

ESPN has basically traded an entire investigative journalism dept for Stephen A. Smith. ESPN’s IJs used to uncover stories that all sports radio & podcasters would yap about. Invaluable to the brand. The sportsworld spun on it. Now ESPN is just the worst YouTube sports show ever with better graphics

I didn't expect to have to make calls to my two terrible senators on Mardi Gras day to protest what Trump and Musk are doing to us, but I'm gonna do it.

Tonight, Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery in the Russian city of Ufa, which is located over 1,200km from Ukraine. A fire broke out at the facility.
