not cool with the subtle inclusion of dragons into the halloween canon. dragons aren’t “monsters” and they’re definitely not ghouls. more akin to a griffin or unicorn

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

it is funny how many people affiliated with the secret police have had to say "stop making fun of the secret police, the guy in the tac vest that covers him like a training bra is a hero, he tracked down and subdued two hospice orderlies using only the W-2 forms they file annually"

your punishment for being a bitch to me all day is that you will live a sad, lonely, miserable life and never know the joy of being one with the universe

i should be allowed to throw something at someone once per day. some ppl deserve to have things thrown at them and i think their behavior would improve if there were consequences for their actions

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity.

TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

Making Tesla a pariah is a fairly easy thing that we can all partake in. Musk has a lot of money, but he absolutely needs these companies.
People have begun demonstrating at Tesla outlets against the agenda of Elon Musk and other tech billionaires who are seeking to consolidate power under Donald Trump.

These actions are assuming different forms in different places.

In this thread, we will review a few of them.

Look at history. Read what historians are saying now. I would rather sound the alarm and be wrong than live with the outcome of what we know is underway.

Historic truth and current crank:
It took Hitler 53 days.
We’re on day 14.

Reminder: "Sometimes, 'bearing witness' feels like the only thing we can do, but the relentless consumption of suffering and injustice does not change anyone’s material conditions. It may feel like we’re doing something, but during such moments, we are experiencing an impact rather than having one."

Everyone can organize.

Everyone can contribute to social movements.

Everyone can do something, from somewhere.

None of this is about "professionalism" or policy"expertise. That is counterinsurgency, demobilizing logic.

Everyone can organize and has something to offer.

if you’re tempted to use ai to help you write a cover letter, do yourself a favor and just get a human who’s good at it to help you. i think a big problem with ai is ppl use it to do things they don’t know how to do, and therefore can’t see what’s wrong with the output. but i promise it’s bad
