I think more people could benefit from watching mafia movies and learning a bit about how to keep some shit in La Familigia.

I hear this. Yesterday mine was so bad I put on a kaftan and retired to the couch to nurse a gin and tonic for the rest of the day just after noon.

Well yeah - old white men whoā€™ve been in office a long time have big egos that make them say and do stupid stuff. Itā€™s kind of endemic.

He is literally a grandpa. He was my MOC while I was in Austin, I voted for him a number of times, and Iā€™m fairly familiar with his positions. He is generally quite progressive but has a hell of ego that pushes him to speak before heā€™s really thought it though ā€” IMO - this is one of those times.

I wonā€™t challenge anyoneā€™s choices in this election - itā€™s difficult. But Rep. Doggett wasnā€™t saying Biden should drop out for a third-party candidate - he wanted him to cede to a more-electable Dem. Which, for an elected Dem in office since 1994, is a profoundly stupid thing to say to the press.

I havenā€™t heard any third-party strategy at this point that keeps Trump out of the White House. Iā€™m no big Biden fan, but as someone whoā€™s lived most of her life in Texas, Iā€™m a leftist who votes with the intention of less harm coming to the most people.

The only candidate I have ever gone door to door for in my life was EW in 2020. The only negative encounter I had was an older white male dem voter yelling at me ā€œshe canā€™t win!ā€ She could have. I think weā€™d be in a very different place in 2024.

Most of my family is in STL and yes this. Boeing absorbed McDonnell Douglass (STL founded) a couple decades ago and itā€™s very much a ā€œcompany town.ā€ I think STL orgs are so strapped for cash also, itā€™s probably a more challenging decision to turn down corporate sponsors.

Four years ago, Psychological Science published a paper which used a ludicrously poor quality dataset. That paper was retracted, partly in order to avoid ā€œprolonging the useā€ of the data but the dataset still thrives in the academic literature. Read our article & šŸ§µ for examples

Now would be a very good time to start talking to your friends and your neighbors and the vulnerable people in your communities. Find out what everyone needs. Figure out how to start meeting those needs together. Rage, yes. Please rage. But also build. Care for each other.

Workers in GLAM spaces have been talking and writing about the vulnerability of ā€œborn-digitalā€ content for DECADES. I hate to see these archives go, but this much obliviousness to well-known problems is so frustrating.

ā€œOf course, they could have saved their articles via PDF or other methods ā€” and probably would have done so if theyā€™d been notified in advance that the archive was vanishing ā€” but the internet was supposed to make that unnecessary.ā€ Uuuuuuuugghhhh.

Fellow educators, AI isn't, despite Google's marketing, magic. AI is people doing often traumatizing work, and we need to help our students interrogate and intervene with others in these systems.
