Okay who the fuck is this white man who has no grasp of asexuality. This is soooo harmful to the aspec community and so irresponsible of major news outlets to peddle this kind of rhetoric. Has the ace community stumbled upon this yet?? @theacecouple.com #asexual #aspec

Federal Agent Told Combat Veteran 'You're Dead, Liberal' At Little Village Encounter, Attorneys Say
The allegation comes as ICE and Border Patrol are increasingly facing pushback for using tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and other measures against peaceful protesters and bystanders.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I made my students a little “book” (just using Google slides) to show them how you all answered my question about how you take notes for research. Just to show the variety.
How Do Scholars Take Notes?
How do scholars take notes? I like seeing examples of different people’s notetaking, so I asked scholars to show me how they take notes for research.

Gold, Greed and Cowardice
Trump's corporate and billionaire supporters are emboldening him as he pursues his path of destruction. History proves the future does not bode well for them.

Working at a cafe this morning and the table next to me is discussing education. Person A tells Person B to put everything they think relevant to the conversation on a Word doc and they’ll have AI condense the main points. Being so anti-AI I am blown away at how casually people discuss and use it 😭

Really well put! AI sucks, of course, but it is the latest of thousands of insidious ways that EdTech grifters have attempted to destroy labor within education. EdTech has been successfully destroying universities and K-12 education for at least 30 years, to the cheers of donors and idiots!

Happy Ace Week! Ace week runs this year from 19th to 25tb October.
This week should be about ace joy, as much as it is about awareness, education etc. but we know this week can be difficult too because with increased visibility there also comes acephobia.

Ideal conditions for starting your passion project will never come. You will never feel skilled enough to make it. There will never be a moment where you stop being scared to start. Do it anyway. Do it badly. Do it scared. Just make that thing that’s clawing at the door of your soul; It wants out.

It's not lost on me that the female-focused fantasy series is the one that's suddenly "too expensive" for the streamer that spent hundreds of millions for Citadel to flop historically.

We need S4 and the full 8 seasons because this story has so much hope, complexity, maturity, and resonance for todayʻs world. It’s more than an escape from reality; it depicts a reality many of us yearn for in terms of acceptance.
