Those of us who work in higher ed, especially public schools, need to read this thread.

18/End My summary: - Make college less affordable - Make it easier to discriminate - Make it easier fraudulent universities to rip off students - Allow the President to put ideological tests that target individual institutions or whole states for funding cuts. Fun!

Finally, a little fucking good news web.archive.org/mtv.com/sear...

It's good news and bad news in today's Avengers toy comic - bad news, really, for everybody except Jocasta... www.pizzarat.net/2024/07/03/m...

It's mostly bad news in this week's installment of my toy comic (Justin Hammer's plan to cash in on A.I., Reverend Stryker makes a new friend), but seeing the X-Cutioner makes me think of X-Men '97, and that's not so bad! www.pizzarat.net/2024/06/26/m...

The idea that Martha-Anne Alito, one of the more powerful and privileged people in the country, is so oppressed by the administration of Joe Freaking Biden that it justifies grabbing her imaginary musket while Appealing to Heaven is utterly deranged. But it's her truth, and we should sit with that.

With the exception of Weissman and Zokaie, the candidates winning in those races were supported by… a group backed by Kent Thiry, or by a network aligned with One Main Street, a nonprofit with mostly hidden donors that said it was promoting “pragmatic” Democrats.” www.denverpost.com/2024/06/25/c...

this is a declaration of war against creatives and it should be reported as such

In an interview, OpenAI CTO Mira Murati says "some creative jobs maybe will go away" due to AI, "but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place" (Kate Irwin/PCMag) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

the thing about Sutherland (RIP, obviously) is that he was regularly the best performer onscreen, and he knew how to give his costars room to do great work themselves the same was true of PSH I guess what I'm getting at is that I still think Catching Fire is a pretty great movie

A vision of purest hell: being forcer to pay for something youbdonnot want whichbdoes not help and in fact actively harms your quality of life, a system that lies tomyou and destroys your environment for someone else's short term profits. This is not the "AI" we dreamed of, and I want out.
