Pants is shocked, shocked I say, that you may not have hydrated, taken any meds you need, eaten something, and taken a moment to breathe. Look how concerned she is for you. You should do those things so she can relax.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

Yeah. It is very much a big deal that AI is being trained on people's work without consent.

Knowing something is possible, or even likely, is different than knowing it happened. And consent matters. YouTubers have long worried their work was being taken to train AI - but no one had proved it until we did.

Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, has spent so much money paying private schoolers' tuition that it's now facing hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects.

if you’re trying to engage with politically disconnected people about project 2025, identify a specific part that you think will resonate with them. i just told my friend who’s a public school teacher about the plan to abolish the department of education and that got her hooked.

It's a GREAT time to remind all y'all that you can read "What You Are Getting Wrong about Appalachia" by Elizabeth Catte, instead of that crappy dude's crappy memoir.
