After we unionized in grad school, at the University of Iowa, I went to the dentist for the first time in a decade because I finally had insurance coverage for it.

Nicki Minaj is an idiot who has destroyed her entire career for a pedophile and rapist. Gotta get that pardon for her sex offender husband, I guess.

“Death to America” is a prayer for the eradication of the diabolical ruling elite whose seat of power is the White House. It is a cry born of the pain of oppression. Do the oppressed not have the right to wish death upon the evil oppressors …?

MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students.

A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.

Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.

The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable.

The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust.

Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates.

The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.

The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.

"If we want to oppose this new fascist strain, we really have to get a move on. 'I don’t tend to use this language, I try to be measured, but I think I’ve earned the right to escalate,' she says. 'The moment we’re in, people are really mad and however mad you are, it’s not enough.
Because there is something so profound about no longer believing in the future, about seeing no value in our shared home, in the natural world. They’re traitors to creation.' https://t.co/T3lT9Q0CUI

To be fair, some of my most engaged AND disengaged students had on bonnets, house shoes, those star pimple patches, and came in eating pop tarts or some other sugar bomb. My point: Idgaf what they are wearing i just want them to start thinking and reading and writing their own shit again 😭

Trump stood at Tȟuŋkášila Šákpe — “Six Grandfathers,” aka Mount Rushmore — last night and told America that anyone who says it was built on stolen land is spreading “Marx’s lies about our heritage.” He said the people who “tell our children that we live on stolen land” are doing “something much worse than slandering our past” — they’re “attacking our future.” He called them “a band of thieves, radicals and lunatics.”
No, Trump. You’re wrong.
So let’s be direct about it, since you weren’t: Yes. The United States of America is stolen land. It was founded through genocide, oppression and dispossession of the people who were already here. That’s not a Marxist talking point. That’s the historical record, and here are the receipts…

Start with the ground he was standing on.
