The US revoked visas for British punk-rap duo Bob Vylan after they chanted “death to the IDF” against the Israeli military at the Glastonbury Festival. The band was due to begin a US tour in October.

Y'all when I tell you that this current paradigm of "AI" being shoved down our throats does real, persistent harm, and that said harm will fall first on the most marginalized and then on everyone else, this is the shit I mean. I mean god DAMN.
I have three hearings at three different courthouses today. At the second, someone was sobbing outside the courtroom. They'd asked ChatGPT what to say in Court. They believed what it told them.

They lost because it hallucinated, and they didn't know there were no do-overs.

Speaking from the cusp of the vaccination generation,

Please vaccinate your children!

My earliest memory is the terrible pain of coughing up my lungs and not getting air, while my mama cried and held me. Pertussis.

Having measles was torture. High fever, swollen itchy skin, thirst.

Vaccinate.
Oh look, measles vaccination rates have fallen in 100 of 204 countries, while coverage for at least one dose against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, measles, polio or tuberculosis has declined in 21 of 36 high-income countries – including France, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US.

I'm gutted and furious that the Iranian people will be injured, harmed and killed as a result of this absolutely depraved act of violence. What a complete travesty on every single level.

I'm begging folks to not compliment themselves too much on their "non-violent" marches & rallies.

Instead, try to understand that violence at protests is generally a result of law enforcement escalation.

Then, the galaxy brain move is to ask yourself "which protests do police tend to attack?"

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?"

Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

Just six years after his Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered, at MBS’s direction, Jeff Bezos is going into business—and, thus, helping to enrich—the man who orchestrated it. My latest for @status.news www.status.news/p/jeff-bezos...
Jeff Bezos Abandons Khashoggi to Cut Deal With MBS
Jeff Bezos once mourned Jamal Khashoggi—now he's making billion-dollar deals with his executioner, revealing more about his values than any vigil ever could.

A bunch of us school librarians have been begging for years to teach digital literacy skills to kids and been denied. We're yelling louder with AI and still being denied. So guess what happens?
Also what I learned from my students is that no one was telling them what AI was, how it worked, and what the problems associated with it were

One thing I saw repeatedly in last night's AI thread is that a lot of people--seemingly young people??--believe teachers and professors are tasked with making students *better people* and therefor if their students are using AI it's the professor's failure/thing to fix. This has no basis in reality.
the solution to the AI problem in schools is simply not “professors should be better” and it continues to be really shitty to blame them for what is obviously extraordinarily awful yet insanely addictive technology

It’s crazy that so many christians are cool with picking a guy to be the pope, immediately changing his name to something they will only refer to him as from here on out, but can’t wrap their heads around a change of pronouns.
