Hang on, I need to go scream into the void for a few minutes.
May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.
May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.
This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.
Vaccinate your pets please.

I watched The Mandalorian and Grogu tonight and um. Well. It was definitely a movie.
Some cool bits. Lots of fighting. A couple of cute bits. But overall pretty meh.
Like, I'm glad I didn't pay actual money to watch it, I'd have been cranky about it. But for free? Eh. All right.

Please don't fall for this bullshit. There will be no five grand if the Rs keep a majority in Congress.
President Donald Trump pledged to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. The promise, made at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, could cost over $1 trillion and would require congressional approval.
Trump, hoping to salvage midterms, makes dubious pledge to give every US adult $5,000 if GOP wins

This thread (and essay) on a chain of AI-first private schools points to the staggering influence of the optimization cult. It reminded me of reading about children of acid cults or EST workshops. Kudos to Ben for digging in and laying this out.
SPECIAL REPORT
Last month, Alpha School invited people to follow student social media accounts "if curious about life in our high schools." I accepted their offer.
What I've found shocks me. Forget the AI and ask instead: Is Alpha Schools a cult?
Follow along for a summary of my findings.

In the last month or so school districts & unis have implemented bans on the use of AI. The glut of think-pieces this week alone that posits these bans as the product of anxiety & fear is enough evidence alone that there is a thought collective invested in reclaiming the rhetorical upper hand here.
What the fuck does this even mean for a History classroom?

They're already shoving AI into weapon systems and military targeting; health insurers are using algorithms to cut off care; employers are letting software decide who even gets seen by a person; and cops are arresting people after facial recognition spits out the wrong face. And in every case, they always pitch the same thing: that it's faster, cheaper, more efficient, which really means the government or corporation gets to process more people with fewer workers and less oversight.
