There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Attending a workshop today about OER/AI/UDL led by this guy: aiedusimplified.substack.com
My first email we said “name - the little @ symbol [drawing it in the air with an index fknger] Maine -period- edu.
We hadn’t even abbreviated ton”dot-edu” yet. And I only had an email bc of college and being able to *request* one.
Nah, we are used to having polarizing political figures that impact the country 🙃
Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72
“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit
Warning that I am replying to a post in Portuguese
I used it in discussion this week talking about assistive tech - for people who use it all the time (deaf pt) and some who need it temp (big guy) and a few students are also watchers (also bsky flagged your post as in Portuguese?)
Also, she's not.
Also, I won every (both) election I've ever entered, and he never has which ASIDE from all that is really frustrating in just general patriarchy shit. I love Mills, but also shes in her 70s! Some of our best candidates are running for gov... it's all so frustrating
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
bluesky is nice and all but will never be 2010s twitter. Esp for folks like me that didn't have local (higher) ed tech networks. (also this person tiktoks about ed tech using her full government name, I didn't do a huge stalk, just found her faculty email with a quick google)
As an OG ed tech twitter user, who misses that community, why, yes I DID email a tiktoker to ask for some insight into our new canvas studio adoption and she grabbed a time on my calendar and we had a lovely meeting (and led to discussing some other services WE use that she is considering.)
ASIDE from the horrible “problematic” stuff!
😆 I have had the unique honor of having Collins is one of MY constituents so I also have that going for me. Platner is a super frustrating candidate.
I mean, I have at least won both elections I ran in. (And feel confident I’d have won a third, I just opted not to run bc of burnout.) 🤷🏻♀️
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:
I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil
sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this
The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.
Same. So I got up and fed the cats and started seeing bc it’s all awful. This is the pic I sent my bestie. Jfc I’d like my kids to know a world with peace.
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
I cannot believe Anthropic is making me root FOR them here
It really is either you support trans rights or you support Hitler 2.0
So this is the kind of move that would normally qualify someone for asylum. This is overt persecution of a minority.
btw for trans women to offer this kind of practical warning and sympathy is a serious mitzvah and we cis women really owe it to them (and to ourselves!) to step up our solidarity in kind
Abortion was phase I, trans healthcare was phase II, birth control is phase III
Study in Nature that just came out shows a 51 PERCENT drop in Dementia post Shingrix vaccine. That is earth shattering. 19% drop was reported from the older+ less effective vaccine given up to 2019. Whew. So glad I got mine already!
Why not use this power to do things like negotiate health insurance claims (cannot TELL you the number of calls and hours spent getting a recent claim fixed)? Why do folks want AI to erase *thinking* and learning?
You absolutely will- this is one of the shows I worked last summer, my boomer parents saw lots of their friends! 😆
This is nightmare fuel for my line of work, but I also have questions - does it spoof an IP address? Does it work around MFA systems? How does it show in click history?
But really, why do people not want to LEARN things? I spend my whole life in pursuit of new knowledge.
