The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

Parents and educators patrolled bus stops, drove students home from school and checked in on immigrant families last week as reports of ICE activity in Nashville circulated. These efforts have continued across Nashville public schools to keep students safe and inform them of their rights.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.

TBF, there are so many ethical issues that no one op-ed can address them all. Once you've covered the data privacy, surveillance, propaganda and social control, economic and social inequality, investment bubble, labor abuses, risks to livelihoods, health and environment damage you've run out of spac
And as reasonable as this writer seems and as much as he understands that essential skills can be inhibited by AI use, does this sound like someone very concerned about the labor or environmental impacts of AI? The ethics are just to be nodded to.

I want to go back to this excerpt.

What students learn when we talk about ethics but don’t act on them is that we are hypocrites who actually don’t give a damn— and that they shouldn’t give a damn either but should pretend that they do.
