This is my favorite genre. Fwiw I was able up get out of worse slow yesterday and I drive a Honda

The Craftsman I was going to make a noose, but instead I made a basket.

I've been threading a loom for days. This piece captures what it is to thread a loom in this political moment. If you want to cry a little and slow down and look out the window at the start of this day I very much recommend

would be pretty fitting, vibes-wise, if boxcar hopping music was coming back in style

Remember how Meta suspended the Threads account tracking Mark Zuckerberg's private jet? www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

The Bluesky account saw the jet landed in Palm Beach yesterday, and Zuck had a private Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump today: www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11...

Witchy swampy landscape of a tree and its reflection. The more you look the more complex the image, like maybe there is a figure or a spirit in the tree.

Honestly, this should be ringing alarm bells everywhere — if OpenAI is successful in this effort, it would mark the biggest intrusion into general education of Silicon Valley yet, giving it power to shape lesson plans and course generation, and locking schools into enterprise contracts.

OpenAI releases a teacher's guide to ChatGPT, but some educators are skeptical | TechCrunch OpenAI has partnered with Common Sense Media to release a new resource for K-12 teachers using ChatGPT. But some educators are skeptical.
