America’s vicious cycle: Corporations crush their workers to protect their bottom lines, then use their profits to lobby for policies that allow them to keep crushing their workers.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can build a world where workers have power.

Russia is using bombers, missiles, submarines and ships to pummel every major city in Ukraine tonight!

Pray for Ukraine!

Air raid alert goes off in most of Ukraine, including Kyiv.

Earlier, the head of the Mykolaiv police Serhii Shaikhet reported that Russia may try to hit Ukraine with up to a hundred missiles.

Overnight on May 1, Ukraine's Presidential Office head Andrii Yermak urged citizens not to ignore air raid sirens

Some more from the world of university student grading....

A lab report assignment where the use of generative AI is allowed with appropriate attribution. It’s a class of ~100 students.

Around half the class chose not to use genAI. Around a third cited their use of gen AI.

So about a third of the course have started to upskill and to use genAI in what I believe is a productive / useful way. And that is over a 10-week term – when we started, almost no one in the class had explored the use of genAI beyond ‘playing around over Christmas’.

I could also compare the cited use of genAI and that detected by an ‘AI writing detection model’, and I can confirm that it was sub-optimal.

Thanks for the design @tomflood

"The sooner we pry political power from the gnarled, old clutches of white culture, the better. The stone cold truth is a huge chunk of white America has no use for democracy and never did. From their white perspective, every election is a crap shoot where white people could lose political power. The fix? Either shit-can elections or control who gets to vote. That way you will always remain in power.

That's America 1.0 for ya!

America 2.0 is completely different. E Pluribus Unum (diversity) powers it. Keeps it simmering with youthful urgency and drive. America 2.0's goal is to level the playing field so that literally every America stepping onto it has the same shot at The American Dream as every other American. America 2.0 is the rising tide lifting every last boat!"

"Jackson is graduating this year so we made sure that his last week would be extra memorable for him by flyering all over campus and Ann Arbor, especially areas that other Ross students and parents visiting for graduation would see. His involvement in a fascist organization and his racist vandalism of the Ypsilanti Black Lives Matter mural deserve to be known by his classmates, friends, and family."

@ScienceMagazine that's pretty impressive - for all the incredible advances in technology to help manage Type 1 Diabetes, this kind of approach - islet cell transplantation - has the potential to supersede any tech solution. #medicine #MedMastodon #diabetes #t1d #insulin #transplantation

Updating this! Would appreciate a boost!

Lost my job recently and it's been rough out there. I'm a podcast editor, sound designer, and VA trying to build my portfolio. Let me craft your fiction or nonfiction audio into its best shape. I'd love to try my hand at a TTRPG! I can also edit videos.

I've written and directed for the award-winning audio drama Someone Dies In This Elevator and have my own in the works.

Have you ever noticed how white people, particularly white men, always jump to 'well, we can't fix society because we can't stop the hate!' without actually doing something? Ha, yo like literally *anything.*

There has been so much scholarship and demonstrable history that shows effective strategy and organization against hate and harassment that so many people ignore entirely to focus on the doom and gloom to feel justified in their inaction.

And I'm not trying to hear it. Just say you don't give a shit. There are solutions, and your ass is just too lazy to do anything because you don't care and you like being the favored pleb under capitalism.

And before you ask, I have a fuck ton of books pinned to my profile that is chock full of the answers you seek.
