A Pedagogy of the Inevitable
Over the last couple of years, two altogether incompatible discourses of “AI literacy” have emerged. One seeks just enough literacy to support a smooth, perhaps even joyful, integration with new techn...

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

In the south side of Minneapolis, community members have started setting up filter blockades- which are make shift roundabouts. The intent is to slow down the erratic ICE driving behavior among other things. Full report to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

There isn't some fixed pie of wealth that has to be divided between rich and poor. Billionaires mostly created new wealth—for instance, Taylor Swift made songs that many people were willing to pay for, and we're all better off for Brin and Page's Google. They didn't steal from you.

i hope they all starve to death but not before their teeth and hair fall out from malnutrition
some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed:
“The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”

I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.
They're afraid.
One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

i’d love to live in a society that *at the very least* considered the presence of children to be a firm indicator that Tear Gas Should Not Be Used
Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.

These companies want to take everything that is required for people to communicate with one another and exercise our capacity to operate in a democracy and sell it back to us as automated algorithmic decision making that will ultimately penalize us for reasons we’re prevented from seeing.

Coincidentally I've been spending the week with some MA UX design students basically trying to convince them that what gets counted as an "emerging technology" is entirely politics, and this example is the one that really got through to them (1/2)
Here’s the thing about self checkout. Companies have determined that it is more cost effective to take the loss from theft that automation eases than it is to pay people to work in their stores. When one puts it like that, the quality of the tech or the apparent convenience* are beside the point.+

Extremists like Stephen Miller simply cannot fathom that there is an authentic resistance fueled by a sincere rejection of the MAGA project. The idea that white people would act in solidarity with their non-white neighbors is beyond what the Trumpists can imagine. They don’t understand it.
