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

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

You may not like him, but he has a point.
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.

Nobody cares, big guy. Maybe, just go away? You can do 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.
Sen. Angus King on why Democrats caved: "It wasn't working."

You're wrong. And not right bright, big guy. Too bad.

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.

Whose health even then was questionable? That Trump?

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.

Seriously?
BREAKING: Trump asks SCOTUS to block ruling forcing the administration to fund SNAP benefits

@courthousenews.bsky.social

Do we think SCOTUS is sufficiently corrupt/evil to starve ppl in broad daylight? Yikes.
They are trying to kill SNAP by getting it up to SCOTUS.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

No apology needed. I am! I really need to get out more! 🙄 TBH, even if I did hear of it, the name would put me off. I like A'dam, but I can't say I think of it as a coffee mecca!

But most of us have never heard of Dutch Brothers. 🥰
