For what it's worth, if you are a socialist or interested in socialism, it is *my job* to educate you, so ask away.

TIL that ICE tried to detain a colleague’s teenaged son, asked him about his “color,” held a gun on him as he produced ID

When using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6.

I am happy that more people see that the police state is a BIPARTISAN project.

In the Baltimore Sun today we ask Governor Wes Moore to cancel Avelo Airlines' contract with BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport. He can do it today. It doesn't require the assembly. It will help stop ICE & help our patients and neighbors.

Please share widely.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

What you're getting from an LLM is a statistical approximation of what the answer would be to a statistical approximation of the question.

This is why prompt engineering is fake. The prompt (and any input data) is just a suggestion - and helps fool you into thinking that your question was answered.

Time for those Black students to revive direct action protests. Many of them know the history & legacy - it's why they are on these campuses in the first place. Time to do their part in the ongoing struggle.

UNC just removed their long-standing space for the Black Student Movement to gather, in yet another stunning capitulation to the toddler-man’s anti-DEI demands.

I had a lot of convos with people who said they were sympathetic, but Defund the Police was a "bad slogan". I told them it wasn't a slogan. It was an answer. It was an answer to the constant question "what can we do to actually lower crime and make our neighborhood's safer?"

Anyway. Here we are.

Should’ve defunded the police like we instructed smh
