This. Yes.

Every damn chance you get. It matters more than we know a lot of the time.

And we don’t hear the good stuff enough, quite frankly.

And the people who routinely do this for you? They should hear it too.

I really don't think people understand the degree of organization that is happening in so many regular neighborhoods in America.

This is not the place to tell me that Americans aren't doing anything about this because we're docile cowards.

Americans are doing a lot about this and you just don't know because our media isn't talking about it.

Question - does anyone know of a quality non-profit youth journalism/civics organization in the Orange County area?

From Roots to Star Trek to Reading Rainbow, @levarburton.bsky.social knows firsthand the power of storytelling.

It's an honor to have his endorsement of Open Doors, Open Books Act, legislation I've introduced in Congress to ensure every kid is able to access books & unlock the power of reading.

β€˜I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI As AI has upended the way students learn, academics worry about the future of the humanities - and society at large

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

Please stop using the plagiarism machine that’s ruining the environment to dunk on the plagiarism machine that’s ruining the environment.

Claude cannot actually feel, it can't think, it doesn't have opinions, it isn't self aware, it doesn't have context outside the immediate window you are using it with. By asking for its comment on war crimes you are legitimizing the idea that it can be used autonomously or for war at all. Stop it.
