Erasing the history of the insurrection is not going to end well. You can't have a country that allows elected leaders to cover up crimes in the open without consequences. That's a broken country. People have to face ramifications for trying to coup or it's not a real country. This will happen again
Breaking News from CNN: The GA Prosecutor has killed the Election interference case against the Convicted FElon & his allies.
What the Fuck‼️This is a bunch of bullshit. Once again the Convicted FElon got away with more crimes.

It's wild that platforms can both police content and steal content at the same time and it's a profitable business model.

They're deprofressionalizing education and educators so they can let AI take over. Dissolve the department of education and force states to let unregulated AI take over everything it can.

This is how they dissolve the humanities. They merge to erase. When they ask faculty how to restructure, this is what they have in mind. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/n...

It's wild that he funds two systems that are incompatible with each other: intellectualism and conservatism. He only cares about the University of Oregon's football team and nothing else.
Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time you’re in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...
Nike co-founder Phil Knight makes record-setting donation to help elect Republicans
It is the single largest donation Knight has made to an Oregon candidate or political action committee.

I also think AI is a tool to enculturate American disinformation, which is how this country works. America is built on a disinformation culture and AI and takes disinformation to another level because it can obfuscate and launder bull shit like no other information platform.
I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

If universities are going to integrate AI, then they need to offer ethics classes on AI and make one mandatory.

Don't set traps for students. That's terrible pedagogy. They're shoving AI down students' throats w a fire hose. Teach them why they need to write for themselves. Find alternative grading systems and design better assignments. Have discussion abt AI and the environment. Talk about how LLMs work.

The energy rate increases coming to a town near you about paying for the exorbitant costs of running data centers for AI. Yes, you will pay for all the AI one way or another. Your energy bill, environment, cognitive abilities, etc. AI is coming for all of it.

The way they just shut down academic scholarship across disciplines is unprecedented. Proof that legislation is needed to protect funding for publishing scholarship and research or we will live in a world with RFKs in charge forever.

It's wild that they will spend $billions to change the name from Defense to War and no one thinks that's a giant waste of money. There's no money for healthcare but there's $ to change the name of a department across the entire federal government for literally 0 value to taxpayers.

They're really trying to act like sexual misconduct and trafficking have passed us all by and we don't have to worry abt them anymore. "Epstein was the only person behaving poorly and he's gone so let's move on" is not the argument they think it is.

MGT is mad that the administration is not being aggressive enough with the agenda. That's it. She's not turning into a good person. And now she's getting a taste of what she literally helped create & did to other congress reps online as a troll.

I don't care who is in the Epstein files. Throw them all in prison. Dems, Republicans, anyone. All of them. That's why this won't go away. It's not political. Anyone involved should go to prison.

Only MAGA can get away with claiming that a 15 year old is not the same as an 8 year old. In any normal country this statement would end someone's career and send them into hiding. Meghan Kelly will probably just get a raise. Podcast disinformers doing their thing.

It's more than 10% for sure. Social media makes $billions on disinformation. It is a business model. This is not new information. It's been going on for over a decade.
If 10% of my business was based on defrauding and scamming people, and was called a "pillar of the global fraud economy", I would have some serious moral qualms about my business. Not our friends at Meta though.

The 50 year mortgage reminds of the 3 year degree. It's an ideal that refuses to acknowledge and address the reasons no one can finish college in 4 years or get a mortgage. It's about money and wages.

When I studied professors using video feedback to respond to student writing for 16 weeks, each video was on average 2 mins & 23 seconds & 354 words. Nearly 3x's the word count of each professor's written feedback. I examined over 100 pieces of video feedback.
