Close-up drawing of a musician. Black outline details the features of their face, while hairs are drawn individually. You can see some wrinkles in their shirt. Their body is filled with a peach/tan color, their shirt is a pale yellow. The background, which is a photo image, is monochromatic green.

Illustration of a former housemate. Their hand is behind their head and they're upside-down on a couch. The couch is a monochromatic blue photo image, while the flat 2D illustration of the person is filled in red.

US election results are in:

Inequality Media @inequalitymedia.bsky.social · Apr 28

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.

These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.

If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

Joseph Rezek @rezekjoe.bsky.social · Apr 15

Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

From NYT article about the increasing use of AI in the classroom: “Writing is one of the most challenging tasks for students, which is why it is so tempting for some to ask A.I. to do it for them. In turn, A.I. can be useful for teachers who would like to assign more writing, but are limited in their time to grade it.”

The idea is to bankrupt average Americans. They are attempting to make us dumber, poorer, and sicker. This is not the byproduct. It's the plan, because they are robbing us blind.
