Sigh. 1. There’s always been a place to do that. They’re called “libraries.” 2. Plenty of people still don’t have great access to internet or computers. 3. LLMs were not made to educate people, but rather to steal people’s work and livelihoods. 4. They’re wrong a LOT.

Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI. I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

I’m just saying: @connolly.house.gov is my rep, @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov are my senators. And you, yes YOU can have my vote to replace them if you run on a willingness to actually fight for what’s right. If you have Dem representation in Congress tell em the same.

"What happened last night is the most direct assault on the authority of Congress, I believe, in the history of the United States. It is blatantly unconstitutional," Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) says of Trump's OMB halting all federal grants. "If this stands, then Congress may as well adjourn."

Genuinely insane that a major newsroom isn't running a live post today trying to verify what is and what isn't being impacted by the federal funding freeze. Embarrassing how bad the media response is to this.

Would love to understand why every Democrat is not out there every second of the day explaining in plain English that Donald Trump has declared war on cancer patients.

“…members of a singular generation…that didn't have to fight in either of the World Wars but got to reap all the economic benefits of the prosperity that followed. They bought houses, sold them for ten times what they paid, and watched their stock portfolios boom regardless of who won” So good

At risk of repeating myself: The Luddites weren’t against technology. They were against getting put out of work by a technology that did a version of their job faster but worse, in the service of increasing profits for their bosses.

The top 6 stories on the NYT right now are on Biden pardon. This is the seventh story. These people are fucking insane. Prosecuting journalists is below 6 other Hunter Biden stories.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

good to see everyone figuring out why we said, teaching stem without the humanities was a massive mistake. Raising a generation of engineer brain sociopaths who see human suffering and anguish as something to be laughed at while they try and engineer ways around public good really isn’t going well.
