When I taught middle school in Texas, the summer program was a community builder. Students got out of the heat and off the street, with supervised access to the gym, library, and art rooms. Everyone got fed. Each day, many asked if they could take the extra food home.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Sorry, folks, this year "no vote" is a vote for fascism, don't be that person, voting is a necessary if not entirely sufficient act

It’s a very obscure question but I did some research and it turns out that the president who led us out of the Depression and kicked Hitler’s ass was actually in a wheelchair? Who knew?

Kevin, I am not a historian, so IDK, but has there ever been a President in American History who used a mobility aid? And, if so, would you say this president who was so weak as to need, say, braces or a wheelchair, is considered to be one of the top President’s ever?

bringing this here because i've had it

I definitely can't argue with that logic. Not that I wanted to.

Bigots secretly know trans women are women because just like with cis women they don't want us to have control over our own bodies.

If you make any kind of art and call yourself a "content creator" I will go angry mom on your ass so fast. "Content" is corporate pabulum. You make art. Call yourself an artist, hold your head up high, and don't help bean-counters and empty suits to degrade you. They'll do that on their own.

We have the technology to find precisely what existing thing you’re looking for on the Internet but instead here’s technology that finds nothing at all and makes up nonsense instead. That will be $100 billion and all the electricity please.

This deadline was extended. Please act by June 30! Someone I know who did this just received a notice that 100% of their remaining debt was wiped. Not everyone will have those results, but I can't think of a situation in which it isn't worth doing.

If you or someone you know completely gave up paying student loans and are in default: the Fresh Start initiative deadline is very soon. Paired with SAVE, below, especially the changes for undergraduate borrowers (5% of discretionary income), it is the best opportunity that ever has existed

Google's AI Overviews must create entirely new information in response to a search query. That costs an estimated *30 times* more energy than simply extracting information from a source through a traditional search. 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/what... by @parshallison.bsky.social

What Do Google’s AI Answers Cost the Environment?www.scientificamerican.com Google is bringing AI answers to a billion people this year, but generative AI requires much more energy than traditional keyword searches

again it's incredible to me that all of these tech companies are like, it's important that we use all of this electricity and water and also we steal all of the intellectual property in the world so that our products work worse and you can be fired from your job. aren't you EXCITED??

Three days after it was revealed that this guy's license was wrongly listed as suspended due to a clerical error, none of the publications listed here (NYT, WP, NYP, USA Today, BBC, CNN, Fox, MSNBC) have issued corrections or updates. reason.com/2024/06/03/t...

The viral story about a defendant driving with a suspended license was fake newsreason.com Corey Harris' case should never have been a national news story to begin with.

when Trump sends his forces around to deport millions of people, they will not legally be allowed to deport US citizens, and *that won't matter*. when the armed man says you have to get in a truck, you're going in the truck. and the law won't help you fast enough if it helps at all.

A report from the Government Accountability Office found that ICE arrested 674 potential US citizens, detained 121, and deported 70 during a five year frame the government watchdog analyzed: immigrationimpact.com/2021/07/30/i...

I don't know if this has been asked yet, but I'm asking it now. Ladies, what can I do to be a better option than the bear? I like to think I'm already the better option, but I know there's always room for me to improve.
