Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025.

So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did.

This isn’t a response.
This was always their plan.

🚨 The LA protests escalated fast.
DHS called in the National Guard, and reports say Marines may be deploying next. The city is still on edge.

📲 Save this. Share it. Stay safe out there.

ChatGPT is not comparable to calculators.

- ChatGPT is not replicable
- ChatGPT is not consistent
- ChatGPT is not predictable
- Calculators automate 1-3 actions, ChatGPT automates thousands

Resistance to Gen AI is not the same as resistance to calculators.

CEO of ChatGPT maker responds to schools' plagiarism concerns: 'We adapted to calculators and changed what we tested in math class'
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in an interview that the company will work on tech like watermarking to prevent plagiarism but warns it won't be perfect.

Now that the CEO of Duolingo is centering AI, replacing workers with AI, and maintaining an “AI first” stance, I am ending my streak and deleting my account. You used to be so good, Duo. Now you’re dead to me.

This is the type of thing that poorly run private companies are doing on a smaller scale constantly and a great example of why “we gotta run government like a business” is a grade-A dumb guy’s idea of what a smart guy thinks
NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.”

I’m not judging individual scholars for leaving the US for theoretically safer universities.

I’m judging the rest of you for not noticing or caring that roughly 75% of your adjunctified colleagues have neither the putative protection of academic freedom nor the means to leave.

❌ This image has surfaced on Bluesky with a caption saying it shows Israeli actress Gal Gadot's Hollywood star destroyed.

But this photo is old. A quick reverse image search shows it was first published in 2018 when Trump's star was destroyed with a pickaxe.

I have taken
the resources
that were in
the budget

and which
you were probably
saving
for higher education

Forgive me
they were needed
to feed the AI bubble
and to dismantle the humanities
