- yesterday i published this piece about Trump floating a bullshit plan to "raise taxes on the rich" in order to bait the media into talking about it. shortly after, the GOP released their tax plan, which naturally includes no tax such increase on the rich.

- Ok I got famous a few years back for taking apart research that claimed that students learned less from key-stroking than through handwriting, so let's do this thing. What exactly are the studies that show "reduced critical-thinking effort." How was that effort defined? Send me the study. Whoever.

- So in a crazy coincidence, my congressional campaign actually reunited my rescue cat, Heater, with her foster mom. And the footage is just too cute not to share. 🧡🤍

- Professors can beat AI the simplest way possible: - in-class discussions w/ laptops closed - exams that ask for handwritten paragraph-length answers - collaborative in-class projects Homework is busywork and bullshit. AI is a trash machine mimicking the old way of learning. Let's do new ones.
- My kid's school here in Brazil does this 😊
- - this looks cool - I have zero attachment to HUNGER GAMES (never saw em) so the director isn't a selling point and in fact could be the opposite - I love that in this grim imaginary 2030s-ish world a child still references CANDID CAMERA; Steve, you absolute goof www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAtU...
- "Smile, you're on CANDID CAMERA!" "I'm on what?" "It's a TV show that ended sixty years ago. You know!"
- That does not seem to be set in the present day at all my friend
- My favorite such pop-culture-reference weirdness is Whedon's script for ALIEN RESURRECTION, which has someone in the 24th century making a reference to IRONSIDE.
- at least some of what’s fueled “ai” is the assumption that anyone *should* be able to write professionally. It’s obviously not true, but the work seems easy when you don’t know what goes into it. It’s specific to writing—no one thinks it’s a problem that they’re not getting a tryout for the Mets!

- Regional semi-finalist in Lincoln-Douglas Debate. Never made it all the way.
- Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk: -Is not accused of committing any crime -Is nonviolent -Was in this country legally -Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to -Has been locked up for six weeks

- Please stop using AI.
- i guess i never posted about it here before but president's day seems like as good a holiday as any to bring it back up: we don't have nearly enough federal holidays. that's why i think we should create around 30 more, each anchored to the friday or monday around a significant union army victory

- Good morning! It’s a perfect day to realize that the politics you’re used to are gone and never coming back so you can either think about what you want the future to look like and try to build toward that or keep trying to wishcast the country back to 1998 and be part of the problem.

- Still the best thing that ever came out of Star Wars:

- Raymond Chandler, letter to a friend, January 1948. Seems relevant beyond the specific Hollywood context.
- There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).
