WE NEED legislation for clean energy and local climate justice. Just a reminder that the current ruling party wants to undue everything climate and environmental related, including clean air and water act
Can you imagine a tall dunking on a short person like me. Its just not fair /s
People don’t want to hear it but talls like Aaron Judge have an unfair advantage in sports. People say talls just want to play like everyone else—and look, however big they want to be in private is none of my business. But the fact is it’s unsafe for regular players to have to play with them. /s 🧐
The vast majority of the Irish public feel distress, sadness, anger, grief, fear, despair, guilt, frustration, and worry at nature loss and environmental decline.

Billionaires make up only 0.0003% of the U.S. population.
They made 19% of federal campaign donations in 2024.
THIS is why our politics are broken. We need to get big money out of politics NOW.

For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.
The Republican Party: Come for the Christian Nationalism, stay for the White Supremacy.
The war with Iran is costing taxpayers over $11K a second. Yeah a second. Hold on, Republicans are spending like drunken sailors on leave. They can't print the money fast enough. Military contractors can't stuff it in their pockets fast enough.

Deeply frustrated at this depiction of education research... ya'll this ain't it
Lying shamelessly is a defining feature for so many executives in today's tech industry. They learn from top dogs that this is the way to get ahead. Until we figure out how to publicly shame liars and hold them accountable, their lies will only grow.
James R. Ludlow Elementary School in North Philadelphia educates a substantial population of special-education students.
And the learning environment for those students would be upturned by the school district’s recommendation to close Ludlow after next school year, teachers say.

Time once again to share the little lesson from my Local Media class (drawing on the work of myriad other scholars!) about how this happened — and why it doesn’t have to be like this. The post office could + should be a vital institution for public connection — from postal mail to internet access
Daily reminder that calling ai dead labor and stolen labor is literal.
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
i think enthusiastic LLM use is mostly a stack of cognitive biases, unacknowledged plagiarism, and unmet needs in a trenchcoat
but also my main objections aren't about them being bad at tasks so i don't care if you think they've gotten better at it
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
The model of unpaid academic labor required good jobs with ample unstructured time.
American working families are not going to get food or healthcare so Trump can buy more weapons for his stupid War against Iran.
israel just can’t help itself from bombing schools and hospitals. its genocidal leaders see civilians as legitimate targets.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
Omg no, you’re not going to make Anthropic into “resistance tech.” Nope nope nope
Historian Carter G. Woodson showed that when systems are designed and governed without the people most affected, inequality is not a mistake – it is the expected result. Technological inequality, in this context, is not surprising. It is predictable, writes Danielle A. Davis Canty.
When I saw the news story about the girls school being bombed, one of my first thoughts was about how unlike American physics, Iranian physics is 50% women at the undergrad level and how some of those girls who had been murdered were going to be physicists one day
