“The math is brutal and the juxtaposition stark: millions for OpenAI while pink slips go out to longtime lecturers. The CSU isn’t investing in education—it’s outsourcing it, paying premium prices for a chatbot many students were already using for free.“

AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

During the shutdown, the Senate approved adding $32B to Trump's already record breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget.
The Senate still hasn't voted on extending ACA subsidies — which would cost $35B.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

On world AIDS day we remember our elders and our friends who passed. We remember the injustices done to them by our government. We remember the disgusted looks as people avoided shaking our hands. We remember how a generation was left to die from a slow disease while the rich partied. We remember.

In 1974, Gary Tyler was a Black student bussed into a newly desegregated Louisiana high school. When a white mob attacked his bus and a white student was killed, Gary was wrongfully sentenced to death by an all white jury.
Gary Tyler Spent 42 Years in Prison for a Crime He Didn't Commit. Racism Put Him There. | ACLU
Tyler’s case shows how bias, fear, and discrimination drive wrongful convictions — and why confronting racial injustice in the legal system remains urgent today.

By Jan 30th the Epstein files still won’t have been released and Americans will have already paid their first huge increases in health insurance costs.
And Dems will have yet another opportunity to stand up and shut this shit show of a government down.

The r-word is a demoralizing slur that should NEVER be used as an insult. Trump did it yesterday and plenty of otherwise tolerant blue accounts jumped on board using it to describe Trump instead.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
