I would be much more concerned about this if it were college age students but also 20 year olds aren't too bright either. This is where the teacher's job as a teacher comes in

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social):

As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead."

But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that"

Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability

Every year since around 2018-ish, Universal does it's best to force Harry Potter as like a Thanksgiving/post Halloween thing, and I can't help but feel its all too appropriate with the theme of the British forcing themselves into the Americas and claiming it as a friendly agreed-upon thing

I set this story I'm writing to be basically a road trip across the US but all routes require me to take my characters through both Utah and Nebraska. What the hell am I supposed to write about Utah and Nebraska? At least Colorado has some stuff going on.

Frankenstein was everything I needed it to be and more. So heartbreakingly stunning and beautifully violent. The set design, effects, costuming, everything was so perfectly executed. This and Crimson Peak will have a huge place in my heart forever. @realgdt.bsky.social does it again.

I love Guillermo's visual motifs. Red = death (scarlet fever), following Victor everywhere, the memory of his mother. Circles = the cycle of violence, fathers/sons. Can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts on this film. The most beautiful movie I've seen in years.

Netflix added a bunch of Halloween showings of Frankenstein in a bunch of new areas (I assume because the country was about to show up at their studio with torches and pitchforks) so I DO get to see it!!

This is a personal work, the first one in years, I could manage to spend some time on it despite all my current works, but I needed to do it and the most important thing, it’s probably one of the paintings I enjoyed most in a while!

Mil gracias @realgdt.bsky.social por esta obra maestra!

I’m sharing this again because Alma still hasn’t been released, and neither has Rodney Taylor.

ICE is targeting disabled people and counting on society not caring because they see us as expendable.

They also grabbed and dragged a disabled blind man in Portland last week.

Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities

Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
