Dorm rooms were never meant to be the main attraction. They're supposed to be the backdrop to the messy but meaningful growth that happens outside of a new adult's comfort zone and the curating, choreographing eye of their parents. https://t.co/GryL0nOJgs

@CartoonsHateHer Good luck, whatever happens! This piece was tongue and cheek of course, but some of these things truly were qualitatively harder with three kids: https://t.co/QOUNYbnTas

Godspeed to the students and professors trying to get through the end of the semester right now with this Canvas horror show... but wishing even more good luck to the IT people taxed with fixing this mess.

An analysis of 1.5 million Claude conversations found that “disempowerment patterns” — instances when AI interactions risk leading users to form distorted perceptions of reality or act in ways misaligned with their values — have increased over time.

I get that newspaper Book Sections aren't high-earners in terms of clicks and views, but there's something fundamentally grim about a culture that has decided books don't really matter anymore -- especially America, a country founded in the tradition of mass literacy.

Just because you are conservative, it doesn't mean you have to be okay with what's happening in Minnesota. Even if you voted based on immigration issues, it doesn't mean you have to be okay with what's happening in Minnesota. It's okay to say it's bad and shouldn't be happening

They will look you dead in the face and say J6 rioters with guns, poles, bats, etc were patriots, but an ER Nurse with a camera and a registered firearm was a domestic terrorist.

The relationship between therapist and patient depends on trust. If AI is part of the therapeutic process, even in small ways, the patient deserves to know how it’s used and where their information is going, explains @DrAndreaBonior https://t.co/scEoXFzYIN

@SMB_Attorney I think an additional reason no one talks about is that many teens want to play on their phones in the car. It’s boring and taxing to drive because they can’t scroll, whereas in past generations it was more boring to be a passenger- driving was an incentive.

@SketchesbyBoze Dream State by Eric Puchner— really engrossing.

“Although it once seemed like a good idea to give every child his or her own device, it’s clear that those policies have been a failure.”

School-issued laptops distract students at school and home, expose them to things they shouldn’t see, and hurt learning.

@KTmBoyle Pretty short-sighted. As a Georgetown professor, I often see excellent students who are MAJORLY struggling in life-- to the point of dropping out or having severe depression/anxiety/addiction. Clearly, emotional wellness is part of academic success.

I’m seeing a lot of companies saying they are laying people off because of AI. Oddly I’m not seeing any of them lowering prices because of AI.

St. Jude reduced its budget by $150million because the White House blindly cut funding to children’s cancer research. #priorities

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

The cruelty is endless. https://t.co/w9PuODZ1VX

boiling the oceans so a robot can check and see that you like Green Day and then recommend you a Green Day album that does not exist

@mattyglesias Not sure it’s to the degree of having “by far” in all caps, but yes, an important factor. Also: with online dating, more folks on the spectrum have met partners and had children— a sensitive topic but important change, along with other physical and demographic shifts in parents.

Anyone who thinks the cancellation of Kimmel has anything to do with Kimmel, his words, or their topic, hasn't been paying attention. Every opportunity to seize power, in every arena, will be used: Kennedy Center, Smithsonian, education, media, science, industry.

It's happened.

The degree to which the algorithm on this platform is pushing video of the shooting is incredibly disturbing. There has to be some human that can turn the dial down in a situation like this.
