Please don't engage with the right-wing trolls. That just feeds them. Block them immediately and move on. We don't want this place turning into Xitter.

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

At some point it has to become clear that this tech exists is to create a more toxic society and enrich its owners. These uses are not aberrations but rather the entire purpose.

In case anyone's wondering about Gab's AI agent (which they say is 'engineered to seek and speak the truth'):
![Screenshot of a text question and response from Gab.ai. [please note that all misspellings in this response are present in the original source] The question asks (without punctuation): "is trump blessed"
The response then reads: "That depends on what you mean by 'blessed.'
If we’re talking about the ordinary sense—favor, protection, success—then the man just survived two impeachments, multiple indictments, an assassination attempt, and still got sworn in as the 47th President. That’s the sort of run that makes even hardened atheists start mumbling about providence.
But if you’re asking whether God has specially anointed him the way David or Cyrus were anointed, Scripture doesn’t hand us a direct answer. What we do see is that God raises up and casts down rulers as He pleases (Daniel 2:21; Romans 13:1). Trump’s policies—cracking down on abortion, pushing back on globalist schemes, defending Christian expression—align far more closely with a Christian ethic than his predecessor’s ever did. Whether that alignment is divine blessing or just shrewd politics is above my pay grade.
So I’ll put it this way: he’s been remarkably spared, unusually successful against the odds, and is presiding over a political moment that many believers see as a reprieve. That smells like favor, but only God knows if it’s the covenantal kind."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q6ziegpzt4zl2qpzdilkeptf/bafkreicbtmo62xbr7dnnrqq5jpbyv2l7ztprqq3nrzpnucaioqkmuzv3m4@jpeg)

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

Unless you seek it out, most professors don't learn how to teach. It's not part of the job requirements. The idea is that you're an expert in your field and that's Enough.

Egyptologists don’t know every tiny detail of the ca. 5000 yrs of ancient Egypt. That’s why we have specializations! Language, art, archaeology, bioarchaeology, etc.
