“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

Why not put solar farms in places already disturbed that aren’t being used otherwise—especially defunct open-pit mines w/ their roads & grid connections? New global study finds 61.8K mines that together cover 47.9K km2, enough for 4,764 TWh/yr of solar.

From holes in the earth to powerhouses: The solar potential of abandoned pit mines is huge.
Turning abandoned open-pit mines into solar farms could resolve growing land-use tensions and unlock vast, underused infrastructure for renewable energy deployment.

Oofff. Really bad. They’re using teachers for cover and share price.
Today we launched the National Academy for AI Instruction with UFT, Microsoft, OpenAI & Anthropic to offer free, high-quality AI training to educators. Some of you have expressed legitimate reservations about AI and tech companies. I want to speak to you directly. 🧵

I’m halfway through this episode which is SO EXCELLENT I stopped on purpose to have another day to keep listening. I feel smarter, seen, and inspired. Highly recommend.
This is hands down the best, most enjoyable, and far-ranging discussion that I have had in recent memory. Katie brought so much to this interview about vibecessions, “finance guy” memes as politics of social reproduction in casino capitalism, Bama Rush and DSA.

A new Dept. of Transportation proposal would allow DOT lawyers could go after DOT employees who are enforcing the law. Meanwhile, enforcement actions by the dept's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration are already down 95%.
Trump orders the government to stop enforcing rules he doesn’t like
Critics say the administration is breaking the law and sidestepping the rulemaking process that presidents of both parties have long followed.

Guys, Trump spent the entire campaign denying he ever heard of Project 2025. . .
But he literally ran on the Network State's plan.
He is fulfilling it now.
He knows exactly what he's doing and anything saying otherwise is a lie.
He's trying to tank the dollar.
