Call me Mazda (no, not the car). I am a game designer and schoolteacher, I do both because I must. Encouraging children to have their stories, and sharing my own. Pronouns: He/Him. Abolish A.I., Trans Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter (order not important).

For those wondering if Jeff Bezos (owner of Washington Post) is in the Epstein files:
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

IF you are going share something about RFK Jr., this is the story to share. I don't really give a shit who the man fucks. He is killing us. His "work" results in death and suffering among children. He is the worst human ghoul.
He has betrayed the country and his own family. #MedSky
Devastating essay about living with a terminal cancer diagnosis at 35, made more devastating by the author's relation to the health and human services secretary who's spent the past year cutting cancer research.
A Battle with My Blood
When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

With all due apologies to the unknown person who wrote "Ludlul bel nemeqi" and to the narrator of the poem, Šubši-mašrâ-Šakkan, if you call something "Babylonian Job," then there damn well better be a heist involved.

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

I'm an educator and don't claim to be perfect. I have forgotten names, or taken too long to learn them. It's difficult when you meet a large number of new students at the same time. But deliberately changing someone's name because you find it "difficult" is totally unacceptable.
'Teacher refuses to learn my real name so I got revenge'
A woman has blasted her teacher for purposely calling her by the wrong name simply because she 'couldn't be bothered' to learn how to pronounce it correctly - and people say she did the right thing

How I feel about the whole Olivia Nuzzi story is that there are a lot of talented, ethical, underemployed or unemployed black and brown journalists right now who are ready to work.

I don't use Gmail as a primary email in part bc I am skeptical of their ability to ensure that private information from Gmail doesn't leak into LLM datasets

I do have a ton of old messages on my 20+ yr old account though. so I opted out of AI training on those by following these instructions
Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out
A new Gmail update may allow Google to use your private messages and attachments for AI training. Here's how to turn it off.

The WSJ used the words "anti woke crusader" in the second graf of an article to describe the new EIC of CBS News. A job that used to be important and serious has become a punchline. We have no real newspapers. Just a bunch of losers sucking each other off in a circle

"Antisemitism is bad" followed by "get out of my country go back to yours (and die so that Jesus can come back)" is both wild and a fairly honest take for a christofascist😑
Mike Pence wrote an opinion piece for Fox News. Reading the headline, I was like, "Okay, seems like a normal take."

Then I read the subheadline and... bro, what?

Please cancel @aft.org's partnership with OpenAI. The materials I've seen from that partnership are just pushing "A.i." on teachers, not advocating regulation. "A.i." as it currently exists is run by fascist billionaires, spreads lies and bigotry, and has encouraged kids to kill themselves.
