In Houston, school libraries are being converted into disciplinary centers...
Here's a vapid explanation as to why: "prioritizing resources to meet specific outcomes, including closing the achievement gap, raising student proficiency, and preparing kids for the future."
"Prioritizing resources to meet specific outcomes" is the bullshittiest KPI ever. This man should be punched with a shovel.

I keep getting messages from Limked in emp;oyers saying I may be suitable for a post, then listing a whole load of stuff I don't have.
Lazy, illiterate employers who just like to be total time wasters

A team at Addenbrooke's Hospital and Cambridge University placed an air filtration machine in COVID-19 wards. They found that it removed almost all traces of airborne SARS-CoV-2.

"For scientists it is unequivocal: humans are to blame. All this is entirely consistent with predictions and repeated warnings. The only surprise is the speed of the change. Climate change is here. It is terrifying and it is just the beginning.
The era of global warming has ended.
The era of #GlobalBoiling has arrived.
The air is unbreathable, the heat is unbearable, and the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable. Leaders must lead." — António Guterres

U.S. senators have released a bipartisan bill today that proposes the creation of a new federal agency to regulate Big Tech. It would have the power to sue platforms that take part in harmful practices such has those that are anticompetitive, violate privacy and spread misinformation.

@BeatlesLyricsB Well that one is easy ' Real Love' a track relased as a result of the 3 surviving beatles overdubbing a John Lennon demo tape.
Hang on, why is someone who keeps saying he has done nothing, is innocent and a victim of a witchhunt, so worried. If he is all 3 of these then he clearly has nothing to worry about, the fact he is guilty of 2 and the 3rd is simply the long arm of the law doing its job is why he is worried.

Trump news - live: Trump begs Congress to help save him from legal troubles as Jan 6 indictment decision looms
So why is it, that all these so called 'tech experts' people who present programmes such as BBC click et al, can't see all this, we seem to be being brainwashed in to thinking AI is super clever and able to do things, that from this article can't actually do properly. Perhaps in the case of research AI seems to be used, when people are too lazy to actually do the research, find and read papers and write and cite things properly.
What is written here does seem to highlight the issue very well.

Going to try posting on Mastodon more.

Adblockers exist for a reason and people clearly don't 'just' use them, if people are fed up with Advertisng taking over web pages then there will be a point where websites are unusable, for many that will mean people find alternatives to that website.
Do we raise awareness, do we push sites such as duckduckgo more, ? I have some business cards coming today, to help promote the fediverse, so it is time to get the word out a lot more.
Lets keep people updated on what google et al are doing there are pockets of resistance out there, we just need to reach people.

So, supposing that the rumours are true and Google eventually manages to lock down the web and ban adblockers ad infinitum, y'all know that #gemini is a thing, right? 🤔
