whenever I see comedians talking about how it is the comic's job to expose the hard truths of the world and tell it how it is I remember that the hardest I have ever laughed is at Stewart Lee repeating the words "give it to me straight like a pear cider that's made from 100 per cent pears"

This is such an insane proposal. Beyond obviously being a net negative for students capacity to learn, mental health, safety, etc, etc, AI companies are run by, and partnered with, people and organizations who want to destroy public schools and replace your union members with machines.
We know students, like the rest of the world, are using AI. Teachers need to be equipped to deal w/all the issues AI creates. Our approach starts with maximizing safety & privacy and empowering educators to make educational decisions, so AI tools can benefit not harm www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
AI has become the norm for students. Teachers are playing catch-up.
At a New York City training session, educators explored how artificial intelligence could support teaching while also discussing their concerns around the technology.

The natural world is a wonderful place. This is timelapse video from a few years ago of a marine sponge sneezing. It has mucus inside that traps the sort of particles that might clog it up, and expels them in periodic contractions every 3-8 hours. Atchoo!

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation
![. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges.
Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct?
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?
A He asked for immunity for [redacted].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreiariijffjjrgfh26o22jjr76pwprinvnbpkcho5lyi2sucfbqlooy@jpeg)

Two banks are shutting down the accounts belonging to Rote Hilfe—a German legal aid organization over a century old—because of Trump designating so-called "Antifa Ost" as a "foreign terrorist organization."

It’s not a refusal to re-enter society.
It’s not shaping your life around Covid avoidance.
It’s adaptation. It’s a desire to protect health. It’s being willing to accept that things change, and masking & clean air are the way forward.
Mass death & disability is not normal

For years, Jake Paul has engineered a boxing career less about the sport itself and more about spectacle carefully curated matchups, exhibition rules, and opponents selected to maximize his advantages while minimizing real danger.
