For anyone bringing #AI into their teaching this term, Tom Haigh just shared the syllabus for a new course titled "A Short History of Artificial Intelligence" (based on his forthcoming book). The supplemental readings offer a nice slice through the literature, from subject area experts to popular perspectives.

One of the most incessant statements you hear from right-wingers is that they think the left pathologizes their ideas and motivations.

But as usual, this is just deflection.

Reactionaries absolutely love pathologizing progressives. But they're really terrible at it since they don't have sociological data, so usually it just devolves into fundamentalist gibberish, as in this profile of historian Niall Ferguson.

It's absolutely laughable: archive.ph/RoSNu

"What makes this a cultural event isn’t that somebody killed a CEO, but that millions of people refused to respond the way they were supposed to respond."

"What happens when the news is no longer a thing that flows from an authority figure’s televised lips the way clean water flows from a faucet, but instead a kind of game you participate in?"

I've been working on a research project on the #freefediverse
movement for several years now and it's finally published! Thank you to everyone I interviewed and spoke with. This was such a wonderful learning experience through it, I came to love the fediverse, FOSS, and the communities that make them even more.

Does anyone know of any papers on the German #children's show #Sandmännchen and its totally casual approach to diversity and inclusion?

Exhibit A: the biracial lesbian mothers going camping with their two kids.
In other episodes you have kids with different disabilities, ethnicities or faiths hanging out with each other and doing everyday stuff. The take home message is always the same: be kind.

Also, every episode is available with German Sign Language.
