Don’t underestimate how important it is to take every single opportunity to not give billionaires your money.
Can you buy local and not Amazon?
Can you get it on buy nothing?
Do you really need it?
Billionaires get to be billionaires by taking your money. Get serious about ending that.

At some point people are going to look back at this current era of education and wonder why there was so much emphasis on getting one type of screen out of the hands of students only to have so much time in the classroom be spent...staring at another screen.

Good morning, my people.
One thing I've been thinking about: academics still regard teachers not as co-professionals or partners in knowledge enactment, but as subjects secondary (if not tertiary) to their pursuit of knowledge.
"Flattening" for power is not enough without conscientious action.

AI data centers are multiplying across the U.S. and sucking up huge amounts of power.

All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

It feels like more people would agree with the assertion that “AI” has intelligence than with the assertion that trees have intelligence.

Maybe I'm being pedantic, but when people say that AI is their "thought partner" I wonder how to have a thought partner that cannot think (or feel, or communicate with intention). What appears to be thought is an illusion that only achieves meaning through the human interpreting it.

I’m generally skeptical of any education claim/conversation that is framed as “this works” vs “that doesn’t work”
Nothing about real learning with actual people draws a line that mutually exclusive and clear cut

Like when a student learns to cross multiply to solve a proportion but then they want to cross multiply when they see 1/2 + 1/4

More pedagogy of Prince. Right before his Super Bowl show it started to rain. Panicked organizers call to warn him. Prince responds, "Can you make it rain harder?"
Then an iconic performance of Purple Rain in a downpour.
