Using AI to make fun of AI doesn’t negate the cost of its exploitation of labor, artist theft, and acceleration of climate change. It just normalizes it. Stop using it!

I can't believe I used to support this man.

At a Sanders rally, some of his supporters unfurl a Free Palestine flag and cops come to arrest them.

The whole crowd erupts in boos for the cops! Huge pro-Palestinian solidarity moment!

What does Sanders do? He tries to shut the protestors down 🤮

How did Kamala Harris lose to the most unpopular US president on record?

Winning wasn’t Harris’s primary concern; winning without the left and anti-war movement was.

As the skies of Los Angeles filled with smoke this week from multiple raging wildfires, COVID-19 advocates and mutual aid groups stepped in to fill the gaps left by local and state governments, providing respirators and crucial information about clean air. bit.ly/4jaTnYs
Mask Bloc LA member Abby Mahler poses with a wagon full of free high-quality masks The text on the image reads, “THE SICK TIMES: COVID-19 advocates are distributing masks to protect Californians from wildfire smoke. By Sam Rhodehamel. “We knew it had to happen from us. There was no one else doing it. No one to call,” Abby Mahler, a member of Mask Bloc LA, told The Sick Times. “We deserve to breathe clean air. That is not being provided to us by the government that we pay for.”

Call me an old, but I’m starting to miss when “looking it up” meant checking a 1986 version of Encyclopedia Britannica and if it wasn’t there, you knew you didn’t know it, as opposed to being sure you know it and being completely wrong.

Well this is grim
weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt and i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here" the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine with the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world but with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me. 8 135 3.8K 97K ... stillorangecrushed @stilloranged. 7h he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood 5 760 3.2K 82K stillorangecrushed @stilloranged. 7h ... it was so fucking rough. i did my best, but i am one person trying to work against a campaign of misinformation so vast that it fucking terrifies me. this kid is being set up for a life lived entirely inside the hall of mirrors
