Can we just have old Google back without AI and SEOs and the pay-for-play optimization that ruined it as a search engine entirely? Please? I really miss having a functional search engine.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.
Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

The message on IG from Alice (posted by her friend Sandy Ho). As always, Alice blazes a path for the rest of us, fearlessly & with humor: "I'm honored to be your ancestor & believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all."

And on top of siphoning money away from public schools, they also siphon away trust--their existence conveys to families that neighborhood public schools aren't good enough.
Getting annoyed listening to charter school activists lie again and again that charter schools are public schools.
They are not.
They are publicly funded private schools that siphon money away from public schools and produce no better results.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Justices Gorsuch and Thomas, who never agree on anything concerning federal Indian law, agree that the federal government doesn't have plenary power over Native nations. This is a remarkable joint statement that should lead Justice Thomas to revisit a hell of a lot of things he has previously said

Had a great time at #HES2025 and only experienced one major airline delay on the way home (out of 3 layovers, so that’s pretty good)!
A pleasure, as always, to be in conversation with and receive feedback from other historians of education. There is tremendous work being done in our field! #HistEd

Essay shared w/ me by a friend. While its focus is enacting international sociopolitical solidarity, it’s hard not to read and apply this work to academia, too. Particularly Ali’s damning, and haunting statement: “We have turned inquiry itself into ritual.” africasacountry.com/2025/11/when...

In celebration of Native American Heritage month I want to talk about erasure. Erasure is how anti-Indigenous racism functions in the U.S. today. 🧵

Mamdani quotes Eugene V. Debs, who earns a roar of approval just at the mention of his name.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.
