AI is consolidating corporate power in higher ed (opinion) AI is consolidating corporate power in higher education, Lindsay Weinberg writes.

“Despite significant issues of bias, unethical data-sourcing practices and environmental harms, LLMs and other corporate-backed AI tools are becoming default infrastructure for teaching and learning at the same time that data taken from students and faculty is being used for AI development.”

Donald Trump’s father lived until age 93

do not count on this man dying anytime soon, or leaving us an alternative when he goes

this is our chance to make him go away, and we will not get another if he wins

please take it

My dad gave up his Indian citizenship in protest when it fell to fascism. He took US citizenship just in time to vote against Trump, twice, and he was at his polling place when it opened first thing this AM to do it a third time. Do not let the goons back, folks.

A picture of a Squad Leader board, a World War Two boardgame. The board shows a small town, with wooden & stone buildings, roads running between them.

This red California county roiled by a far-right-insurgency braces for more trouble as election nears Shasta County, which has been roiled by a far-right-insurgency, will vote in a crucial supervisor's race even as problems emerge with its new voting machines.


"As a devoted Republican who runs a cattle ranch and proudly talks about owning a gun, Shasta County Supervisor Mary Rickert is an unlikely progressive icon...."

It can be OK in specific situations but the hijacking and total gutting of any regulation by the Christian right has led to some of the worst nightmare scenarios imaginable

A cartoon reflecting women in red robes, hanging their heads under white caps, standing in line to enter a voting booth. On the other side of the voting booth women are exiting wearing heels and dresses and pant suits, having cast their handmaid’s tale garb aside, leaving them on the ground outside the voting booth

And as always when I post about the wolves, I want to make it very clear that the best wolf is a wild one!!! They should not be pets!!

Arsenal should have bought Gyokeres in the summer.

Conceding after 12 minutes is forgivable; zero shots on target after 90 is not.

Arteta may have finally convinced me Havertz is good, but we don't have a killer striker.

Nwaneri might be cover for Ødegaard, but midfield need more creativity.

Carrefour

O you,
Who came upon me once
Stretched under apple-trees just after bathing,
Why did you not strangle me before speaking
Rather than fill me with the wild white honey of your words
And then leave me to the mercy
Of the forest bees?

I am sorry but if you go public with the news that you were physically attacked by a demon I am going to suggest that you seek psychiatric help as soon as possible
