Florida teachers hide their books to avoid felonies from book banner Ron DeSantis.

“In Duval County, which comprises Jacksonville, PEN America found that 176 titles had already been banned, including at least one Berenstain Bears book; biographies of Henry Aaron, Harriet Tubman, Celia Cruz, Rosa Parks, and Malala …”

After years of attacking teachers and public schools, the right wing has a payoff of sorts

The teacher shortage leaves a vacuum. Fascists want to fill that vacuum with the military industrial complex

States like Florida are looking to use unqualified veterans to teach children. Literally grooming kids to a life of military service.

Very few people saw starship troopers, so I’m going to leave that reference be

As I stated on MSNBC, The GOP targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar because she is all the things the GOP base hates rolled into one: She's Black, Muslim, an immigrant and a strong woman. While it took 15 ballots for Kevin McCarthy to win the Speakership, it only took one ballot to get all the Republicans on board to target a Black, Muslim woman. Keep in mind that there are over 270 Republicans in the House and Senate. How many are Black woman? ZERO. And that is the way the GOP wants

The moral panic over generative #AI is wild, and will look as silly in retrospect as moral panics always do.

Write a short story in exactly 18 words, with increasing stakes throughout.

In a new piece, @mmasnick discusses the new tool by OpenAI (the makers of #ChatGPT) meant to detect when something is written by #AI and how its unreliability could cause more problems than it purportedly solves. He also links to a NY Times piece about ways to use AI in #education, and even—with help from a fellow Masto user—proposes his own. If done well, this could actually be a very interesting teaching method. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/02/openai-wants-to-help-you-figure-out-if-text-was-written-by-openai-but-what-happens-when-its-wrong/

Please do NOT ever stop pushing for Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Jim Jordan and others who were co-conspirators in Trump's attempted coup to be held criminally accountable for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election. If we stop calling for accountability our Republic ends.

@scorpiosoul9 it really is and what pisses me off beyond belief is that churches don’t open their doors to the homeless. Some churches won’t even let them sleep outside near their church. What a bunch of phony pos assholes. They love to pretend to be good ppl but they are some of the worst ppl on earth

What fresh hell did macOS “Stage Manager” come from? It only allows one application on the screen at a time. So you can't, for example, have a browser and a shell window open side-by-side on the screen. I get that there are different working styles and someone out there must have thought it was a good idea, but nope, Nope, NOPE! #MacOS

I can't get over this New York Times headline saying Ron DeSantis is "building his brand" by wrecking public education in Florida. It reminds me of NYT’s first mention of Hitler in 1922, which claimed his anti-Semitism wasn’t “genuine” or “violent” but was just “bait” to attract followers. From 1922 to 2023, NYT is still covering fascists from a marketing perspective rather than a moral perspective.

Kids in High School: "I don't understand why I have to take biology, chemistry, and other basic science classes. When am I ever going to use this stuff in my life?!"
As Adults: "Vaccines cause autism, GMOs are unsafe, climate change is a lie, the earth is flat, and chemtrails!! l've done my research. If you disagree with me, you're a sheep!!"

But their emails.
But their documents.
Supreme Court justices used personal emails for work and ‘burn bags’ were left open in hallways, sources say
