Could you please tell me why it’s ‘stupid’ to object to students using gAI to read, write and think?
Is it the dependence on Big Tech you believe is wise?
I’d love to hear how all these very-confident people who know how historians should teach and do research would like for us to be working.

To put it in terms these bros will have AI explain to them, it involves fallacies such as appeal to authority and argument from incredulity. You’re assuming that the people who created the algorithms were competent to do so and refuse to accept a reality in which this isn’t needed or wanted
Underline all of this
Nope. I'm nobody. But I'm from California and I listen to what Newsom actually says and does as opposed to what his brilliant social media team posts.
He isn't the one. So if Establishment Dems are behind him and he doesn't change, I'll be a thorn in his side.

Happy death of Captain Cook day to the Hawaiian people and all others who celebrate it! The Hawaiian people 💀'd him today in 1779.
Dr. Haunani Kay Trask talking about how these white people knew wtf they were doing. A great reminder to not let these people revise history and play in your face.

There are multiple levels of tragedy to this.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

A few months ago I talked about a documentary that Gloria Estefan did called Sangre Yoruba (Yoruba Blood) about how because of slavery the Yoruba people in Cuba and Brazil created new styles of music. Please watch it. It's really good and interesting. Here's the full doc:

Farm workers. The fields on the field. The legacies of slavery and colonialism—the sugar cane plantation, labor power, power crisis—despite it all, the future reaches through the tv to the past to make our postcolonial present.

Lucille Clifton’s “won’t you celebrate with me” is the poem I reach for the most as I move through the world finding joy and breaking generational curses.
I remind myself that “i made it up” when I stumble building a life I’ve never seen.

Yeah we’re not ready for the amount of heinous shit that’s gonna come out of these concentration camps
Ernesto Padron, a Border Patrol Agent from Brownsville, TX, was arrested in 2010 for possession of CSAM. A case backlog meant the statute of limitations expired before he could be tried. In 2020 Padron was hired at a Texas migrant shelter where he worked directly with unaccompanied migrant children
