I was your friendly, neighbourhood rhetoric and game studies diva. Now I’m not sure what’s going on. I'm into critical pedagogy, rhetorical genre studies, open ed, and trusting my students.

Junk science will surely sicken and kill many Florida school kids now that Vaccines are no longer required for entry into classrooms. This is absolutely fucking nuts.

Somehow through the magic of AI we have made computers less reliable than any handheld calculator from the previous 50 years.
yet opposing the integration of genAI into the classroom and other critical societal infrastructure somehow makes one a 'pessimist', 'anti-progress' & 'anti-innovation'
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.

And so the Liberals tried their usual “ Industrial Peace” garbage to oppress worker rights. CUPE and the Air Canada attendants put Carney’s Liberals on notice. That outdated law can’t be used to break workers’ Charter rights. Solidarity!

Somehow, the flappy-bird moves of Diplocaulus in pleistogames.itch.io/cisuralian-c... are based on real science! Back in 1980, Cruickshank and Skews used a replica and a wind tunnel to show that tilting the head up while facing the current would propulse it upwards ⤴️

Complete bullshit, and yet certain university admin will eat this crap up and do real damage. Fuck this timeline.
OpenAI releases the newest version of the AI model that powers its popular ChatGPT chatbot, with CEO Sam Altman promoting it as like having a “team of Ph.D. level experts in your pocket.”

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

It's fascism. You ask yourself, "why are they doing [thing X]?" Fascism. It's fascism. Fascism is infinitely stupider than we dream, while also being infinitely worse than we are ready for.

Exclusive: US diplomats asked if non-whites qualify for Trump refugee program for South Africans
In early July, the top official at the U.S. embassy in South Africa reached out to Washington asking for clarification on a contentious U.S. policy: could non-whites apply for a refugee program geared toward white South Africans if they met other requirements?

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.
