It was good to co-author alongside @clarekelly.bsky.social & Caitríona Leahy & with the input from Harun Šiljak & Norah Campbell. We are clearly not the only ones thinking like this, both within Trinity & beyond, so let's build community to #resistAI

Opinion: We are lecturers in Trinity College Dublin. It is our responsibility to resist AI

Even if all the known issues were magically resolved, we would still not want our students to use GenAI

The exciting talent @katiewilson.bsky.social has taken a narrow lead as ballots are still being counted in the Seattle mayoral race.
If you want a sense of why this is very cool news, here's something of mine from earlier this fall

Can Progressive Mayors Redeem the Democratic Party?

Zohran Mamdani isn’t the only candidate challenging the status quo—and having fun doing it.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

I guess the reason Angus King isn't running again is the lost of his backbone. Of course, it was working. Didn't he watch November 4? Mango & his minions will now come back harder and worse.

I'm real real close to feeling like we can't ever know who these 8 took the fall for, so maybe we should just throw them all out and start from scratch.

For those confused by state of play on SNAP right now: You're not alone
Yesterday, *before* SCOTUS paused order telling Trump admin to send out SNAP $$, a handful of states rushed to issue full SNAP benefits to at least part of their caseload.
This includes CA, OR, WA, MI, and WI—all blue states (🧵)

Sure, he can string two words together. So could Biden. You expect more from Biden because he wasn't given to utter nonsense like Trump. But, you be you in your opinions.

Dear Dutch government, Could you pls create facsimiles of the removed material and post them outside the cemetery?

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Of course, Mango Mussolini pulled US troops from Eastern Europe. If this is a surprise, you haven't been paying attention. His supporters--this includes those who didn't vote for Harris--have contributed to world disorder. Much joy may it bring them.
