Mass layoffs at Education Department signal Trump’s plan to gut the agency
The president’s apparent strategy is attempting to eliminate the agency on his own authority, while asking Congress to finish the job, an education expert writes.The Conversation
Years ago, my friend’s company routinely sent her to Curaçao for contract work. One time, in a connection through Miami, US immigration objected to her work visa as not good for the US. She wasn’t working in the US - she was just changing planes. They tore it up on the spot. She had to get another one when she got home. Now I think she’d find herself in a concrete cell in Arizona.
Do not travel to the US unless you have to. Don’t even change planes there. Not worth the risk.
How ProPublica Uses AI Responsibly in Its Investigations
—
When our reporters prompted a large language model to help identify “woke” themes in a database of grants, AI helped them tell a vital accountability story about science funding and Ted Cruz.

People just want to see red once you mention AI, but when used in this targeted way it is very useful and saves time so you can show us these articles sooner.
As solitha said, promoting correct usage. Don't mind the hate.
Clearly.
To prove this, look at a square piece of paper.
It has 2 sides, the front and the back. The mathematical notation for 'square' is with a small 2 to the upper right. The mathematical notation for 'cube' has a small 3 in that location. Therefore, it follows that a cube must have 3 sides.
I forgot you can't just run a shell script with rsync calls via cron on macOS because of... security. I think my workaround will do though.
I write a shell script and then create an Automator application that calls the shell script. I then add a cron job to open the application.
I need to check if it runs when the screen is locked. I'm pretty sure it does but I will test again.

The truly astonishing thing about my Canadian friends boycotting US products?
Discovering that the US still makes, well, ANYTHING.
(For the record: please keep boycotting! Yes, it sucks for us here, but the only thing these people understand is pain.)

"The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like #HabitatForHumanity for receiving grants from the #EPA under the Biden administration.
Citibank was told to freeze the groups’ bank accounts at the FBI’s request. The reason? The FBI alleges that the groups are involved in “possible criminal violations,” including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” "

Astro Bob on Friday's lunar eclipse and what it would look like to an astronaut on the Moon.
"We'll see the moon glow orange-red during total eclipse. But our astronaut would witness a fiery, red ring ensconcing the silhouetted Earth! What I wouldn't give to be there. Fortunately, we have the next best thing. The Blue Ghost lander , which touched down on the moon last week, will take photos of this unique solar eclipse at the same time we're watching from Earth."

Thanks to the magic of the Streisand effect, I just heard about #CarelessPeople - a book by former Meta employee Sarah Wynn-Williams.
Apparently the company is FREAKING OUT and seeking legal ways to stop its promotion. I can see why. This article about it in the Times made my jaw drop: nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/r…
I will definitely order it at my local bookshop.

Book Review: ‘Careless People,’ by Sarah Wynn-Williams
“Careless People,” a memoir by a former Facebook executive, portrays feckless company leaders cozying up to authoritarian regimes.Jennifer Szalai (The New York Times)
reshared this
An update: last night I started reading #CarelessPeople and I cannot emphasize enough HOW GOOD it is. A real page-turner.
No wonder #Meta executives are trying to shut down its promotional tour. They come across as shallow, greedy and irresponsible.
The author wrote in the prelude that working there was "like watching a bunch of fourteen-year-olds who’ve been given superpowers and an ungodly amount of money, as they jet around the world to figure out what power has bought and brought them." 🔥
Update no. 2:
Yesterday my 4-year-old woke up at 7am thus thwarting my plans to read #CarelessPeople for a good hour.
So today I woke up at 6am to resume reading the book. It’s THAT GOOD.
The leaders at #Meta have been shockingly irresponsible in their decisions since the early days. All they care about? Gathering data and influence and making big bucks. I’m so glad I got out of all their platforms and I’m on the #Fediverse instead.
History books won’t be kind to Zuck, Sandberg et al.
