Cory Booker: "I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America."

Historians, crawling back into daylight from the depths of despair: "Did somebody somewhere ask for some wretched truth?"

“I thought the AI chatbots would do a lot better,” said del Rio-Chanona, corresponding author of the study and assistant professor at UCL. “History is often viewed as facts, but sometimes interpretation is necessary to make sense of it.”

My 75 yr old dad just un-installed Instagram in an act of protest. Very proud of him!

Well that's it. 😢 But I made the most of my last day, and I still have around 700+ history tiktoks I've downloaded over the years that I can still share with my students.

But why has it been easier to figure out Rednote than Pixelfed?

We won't even switch to the metric system, but we'll switch to an app in a whole ass other language before going back to Instagram or Facebook. I love this level of petty!

News/Politics: BlueSky
Silly Joy: RedNote

For three years, I've been downloading every good American history video to my phone and then uploading them to Padlets (organized by decade) to share with my students. Tiktok will live on in my classes.

Kind of dreading the upcoming semester. Between the current garbage political atmosphere and the garbage AI cheating nonsense, I'm already over it.
