Okay I'm a teacher, so let me break this down for you in the simplest terms possible.

Let's say I am teaching a math class. The subject is addition. I teach you how to add two numbers together to get a different number. Then I give you an addition assignment so you can try a few examples for yourself.

Student A writes "2+2=4". This is correct. Student A gets points both for having completed the assignment and for getting the answer correct.

Student B writes "2+2=5". This is incorrect. However, I can see that student B is trying to engage with the material. I can help student B understand their mistake and correct it for next time. I can mark the answer wrong and make curriculum notes.

Student C writes "2+2=-64,863,702". This is wildly incorrect, and the student will not receive points for completing the assignment. I can tell from this response that student C not only did not understand the material, but likely got frustrated and just wrote down any old number because they knew it was going to be wrong. I can still help student C. They're going to need a lot of assistance, but that's the job. I can mark the answer wrong and make curriculum notes, including suggestions for how to help the student engage more with the subject matter.

Student D writes "2+2=JESUS WANTS YOU TO DIE". This is obvious nonsense. It's not just that the answer is wildly incorrect. And it goes beyond the fact that the student did not complete the assignment. And it even goes beyond the fact that the student is not engaging with the subject material or my class. In addition to all that, they have also decided to insult me, make veiled death threats, and use religion as a pretext for it. Obviously I have to mark the answer wrong. But perhaps not as obviously, there isn't much I can do to help this student. They have chosen not to engage with the material, with me, or with the entire concept of learning in general. They looked at a math assignment and decided the best thing to do was insult and threaten the teacher. The best thing I can do for the rest of my classroom is pull this student out of class and try to place them in some form of therapy for whatever behavioral issues this student is clearly struggling with.

The Oklahoma U student who wrote the "essay" about her "demonic" trans science teacher is this last kind of student. She got the answers wrong. Very wrong. Her assertions were unsupported, uncited, and lacked scientific rigor. But beyond that, she just chose not to complete the assignment. The assignment was to write an academic argument about a particular scientific article. Instead of doing this, she chose to write a sermon. And if she had stopped there, she would have been in the same boat as Student C who decided that 2+2=-64,863,702. But she didn't. She decided to include in her sermon a number of insults and death threats, which were aimed directly at her instructor. And she did all this from a place of perceived religious superiority.

"TRANS PEOPLE SHOULD DIE GOD TOLD ME SO" is not an answer to 2+2.

She MORE than earned a zero on that essay. And if she had turned in that shit in my classroom she would have been taken off my roster and recommended to appropriate mental health services.

大人になったらコンビニで好きなだけお菓子買えるのに、なんで大人はそれしないんだろうって子供のころ思ってた。

そのまま大きくなったので、コンビニでカゴいっぱいお菓子を買うおじさんになった。

> The petSite API enables users to "talk" to unstructured websites in the same way one would engage with a cat, moving the web world from a GET and POST paradigm to a PET and FEED paradigm. Applications can use petSite through function calling with additional logic. This can be combined with chained functions with multiple cat sites addressed at the same time.

> This means that application developers can exponentially expand the capabilities of their applications without requiring domain-specific knowledge of prey models or cat behaviors. This will dramatically simplify web application development while simultaneously making it more powerful.

昨日と今日の2日間にわたって開催された #Canva のイベント「Canva Voyagers Marina 2025」で、初日の昨日、登壇枠を頂いて #Affinity についてお話してきました。

登壇資料はこんな感じ。

イベントの参加者さんは主に Canva のユーザーさんが多いこともあって、色んな業界・職種の方に向けてお話する上で、「デザイナー」という肩書きでない人にもなるべく興味を持って聞いてもらえたらと思ってこんな内容になりました

#Affinity 、Canva 傘下になったり無料になったりする中で、いろんな人から色んな見方をされていると思うけど、
なんにでも決まった未来があるわけじゃないし、自分が好きなものを自分のできる範囲で応援するくらいしか自分にはできないにしても、そういうふうに能動的に選択したいものがあることは幸せなことだし、
自分にとってそういうモノのひとつである Affinity を支えてくれている Canva もまた、たくさんの人に支えられてるというのを実感できたのは、参加した僕にとっても大きな収穫でした

Best testimonial you can find in favor for the EU. 🇪🇺

Of all the questionable things about AI, I'm starting to think its biggest crime is simply the staggering amount of resources it has pointlessly drawn away from other, more important work and the way it has corrupted even organisations that were previously doing great work in some misguided, race-to-the-bottom belief that this is actually the most important thing for humankind.

Agriculture made up about 32 percent of land use in Gaza before the war, and played a central role in the besieged enclave’s economy, along with an important part of Palestinian cultural identity.

By the end of October 2025, Israel destroyed 98% of Gaza’s tree cropland and 75% of its greenhouses.

This destruction will have horrific long-term environmental impacts on Gaza.

More than 57,000 households in Gaza are now headed by women. Many of them are deeply vulnerable with no income to support their children.

Winter rain and flooding have worsened peoples’ suffering.

People no longer ask for warmth, education or proper food. They ask for a tent, a small heater, or a light. Their expectations have collapsed, as devastating as any destroyed building.

Gaza home to most child amputees in modern history

Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), says nearly 42,000 people in Gaza have suffered life-changing wounds in Israel’s war – and nearly one-quarter of those are children.

For those defending generative AI saying shit like “it’s just bad because evil AI companies. We need open source AI” How does open sourcing AI help with data centers destroying communities, poisoning more fresh water than 10000 people could drink, or the fact that it only exists to try to replace humans for profits of the already ultra wealthy?

인간이 다른 인간한테 평생 반성하면서 속죄하고 살라는 말 그 자체도 무척 오만한 것이다. 그건 피해자가 가해자한테 할 수 있는 말이지 제3자가 아무데나 냅다 쓸 수 있는 말이 아냐. 당신은 판사도 아니고 신적 존재도 아니다.
