"The greatest bias in #AI is not race, it's not ethnicity nor gender. It is humanity's inferiority complex. If we see AI technology as superior to humans, we place it on a pedestal with the power of an authority." ~ Pinar Seyhan Demirdag #AcademicSky

As a #librarian I hear this person, and it irks me to no end, but it is the extortion racket publishers force us into. And yes, I've been known to tell students to #HoistTheFlag 🏴‍☠️ #AcademicChatter #academia #HigherEd #books #reading #fuckery #extortion #corruption

#Germany may be out of the #Euro2024, today is the day all Germans will remember forever! Football is a beautiful sport. It brings surprises and situation you never thought possible. I love this game! ⚽️

Could you show us the actual words in the Constitution that say the president is immune from criminal law?

And as usual, those 6 Justices think they won’t be touched by the monster they are creating. And that is not only naive but extremely idiotic (in the Greek sense of the word).

One thing you can't say about the 6 justice majority is that they can't imagine or think a hypothetical parade of horribles won't happen. That's not this case. The wolf is at the door. The litigant in this case is the person who already was president, attempted a coup and is a career criminal.

📚📌 Here is a very short, on point book that will give you the tools to counteract was is going on in the world. We are on our own and it will be uphill, but if we act like reaponsible citizens, we’ll overcome anything Trust me!

Yep. One of the biggest blind spots people have is assuming that underneath, others share the same basic values as them. They have trouble imagining an ideology that is completely misaligned with theirs.

This! 👇🏻

Just once I’d like to read an analysis that points out that this has been a Republican long game since Ronald Reagan aligned with the moral majority 40 years ago. It didn’t start with Trump, and expecting Biden (or any other Dem politician) to stop it in one election cycle is completely unrealistic.

This is the best news I have read today! 🥰🐶

This is such a fantastic idea I hope all Olympic events have a therapy dog

Life is good. We forget that so frequently because it also very messy. Please, enjoy life the best you can.

I fear this is the Cruel Summer Bananarama presciently warned us about

An old time fav! 🙃

my favorite Bible story is the one where Jesus has all the homeless people rounded up and arrested, and then he and Sam Alito go jetting off on Leonard Leo's private plane for a luxury fishing vacation

Could we please start funding the humanities again? It's not just that we're losing the ability to read, we're losing the understanding of what reading even is

Do you know what’s the best super power ever? To be comfortable being uncomfortable. 💪🏻

It's not even in the top 50 reasons to fight against Trump's reelection, but do take a moment to consider how much Republicans would delight in completely ending all federal money for the arts and humanities. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/a...

DeSantis Vetoes All Arts Grants in Floridawww.nytimes.com Gov. Ron DeSantis gave no explanation for zeroing out the $32 million in grants that were approved by state lawmakers.

#AcademicSky I listened to a podcast recently in which an artist was explaining how much the use of AI have helped her. She even said that —from her perspective— it is time for us humans to stop praising craft, that we have been giving too much importance to craft for too long. What do you think?

Brilliant! Don’t forget to add Hugo Chávez to that list!

#Academicsky: I propose a new historical subfield: Tacky Studies. The study of that which is considered tacky, gauche, and just generally of questionable taste from that one time Enheduanna tried that thing with the feathers all the way to Imelda, Gaddafi, and Mobutu.

So, now “To Kill a Mockingbird” is been taken out of school’s reading lists because… (wait for it) …it makes people uncomfortable! Y’all, that is the point of that book: TO MAKE PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE! Geez! People need to get comfortable being incomfortable! Urgently!
