Prof. All views personal. Glad to have another source for news and info.
All that nonsense during Covid's early years about "necessary trade offs"? Yeah. It helped lead to this too. Congratulations, assholes.
Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.
E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved by Limiting Air Pollution
In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives, documents show.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

As a woman who has been thinking about this stuff my whole life, if a large, aggressive, and terrifyingly masked man tells me to "get the fuck out of" my car, and I'm behind the wheel, I am absolutely going to try and drive away from him. That's serial killer or worse type shit, not law enforcement.

This is not how history works. It's not a matter of partisan consensus. When did people get this stupid?!
When a news outlet writes of January 6, “The political parties refuse to agree to a shared history of the event”—as the AP did here—but not that Trump’s supporters are lying about an event we all watched happen live, how is that not going along with Trump’s lies
Fifth anniversary of Jan. 6 brings fresh division to the Capitol
On the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, there is no official event to memorialize what happened that day.

The news is supposed to be news--informative, other than and enhancing what we already know. It's not reality television.
ah yes, the best way to explain and understand the world is by ignoring experts and practitioners and turning our attention to the “average American,” whatever that means
This isn't about democratizing the news. It's about elevating "vibes" and "feelings" to be on par with lived experience and subject-matter expertise.

If you knew how to to do this you wouldn't need to be using it for that. This is all so stupid. Like reaching over your head with your right arm when you want to grab the top of your left ear. Just dumb.
If you use it as a dialogic thinking space where you externalities thought and use it to hold, reshape, question, extent, perturb your thinking. Just like a good teacher or mentor could, except you need to set and guide the interaction style.

Academics literally cannot make Gen AI go away. As in it is not possible to make it happen on a political, legal, and technical level. We do not and will not command the massive violence necessary to make chatGPT or Claude disappear. Responsible pedagogy grapples with the fact!
No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.
