- Reposted by ktmulvaneyIn the last hour, dozens of GOP lawmakers began to denounce Trump's racist meme. Minutes ago, the White House capitulated and deleted the post. If those same lawmakers showed that same level of moral clarity when it comes to the Constitution & fair elections, the White House would capitulate. /1
- My favorite part is that it’s in tetrameter - a more singsong meter. This man does not deserve the dignity of pentameter.
- This sonnet has the approval of at least two Shakespeare scholars ( @ktmulvaney.bsky.social and @clarabiesel.bsky.social )
- Trying to figure out if there’s a way to explain to Democrats and median “center right” Trump voters are never going to vote for them, no matter how moderated their ask or their tone. Currently workshopping: The Yankees don’t plan season strategy based on what would make Red Sox fans happy.
- They’ll just laugh about how dumb and corrupt you are then continuing hating you and taking advantage of your mistakes.
- They won’t switch teams because you trade them your best pitcher. They won’t love you for forfeiting a playoff game. They won’t wear a Yankees cap even if they’re in a movie playing a character who is a Yankees fan in the original book it’s based on.

- I have a weird question for the #bird people on here. Do you think someone could tell that a book was pooped on specifically by a sparrowhawk (or perhaps hawks generally) just from the feces? I'm looking at a 16th c. case where witnesses claim books were pooped on specifically by sparrowhawks!
- Controversial but I think I enjoyed Wicked For Good so much less than the first one not so much because of filmmaking skill (I had some notes for the first one I remember and roughly equal praise for the way that introducing Glinda to “Wonderful” and the expansion of the Nessa/Boq arc filled out…
- …a storyline that we just kinda got recapped in the stage version so I’m not against all changes or all too-faithful scene repetitions - I mean, Jonathan Bailey and Cynthia Erivo are GENIUSES for making that “the other castle” scene work as well as it did - woof the original script)…
- But for another reason entirely. Last year, watching Glinda’s arc felt like a reproof of do nothing Schumer democrats who want to be thought of as Good for nothing and failed to have political courage at the key moment given every advantage to make the right decision and jump onto that broom!!

- In a workshop to help professors catch AI cheating, I prompted Gemini to write me a bleeding heart emotional appeal on a topic. It spit out a lecture about rationality and how I should argue based on logic. My one and only use of AI was enough to convince me of that.
- Reposted by ktmulvaneyI don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.
- And Trump nixed the free option. Fantastic.

- Found out today that my op-ed has made the opposite side of the union bargaining table Big Mad. Thanks for the reminder that I didn’t post it here: ctmirror.org/2025/11/04/f... And for the record, it violates zero of the bargaining rules but it’s nice to vex them with the truth #aaup #csu-aaup

- My university ran a workshop to detect AI cheating that asked us to use it multiple times, so technically I have but Lordy it felt queasy. Also, would have refused if I realized then how garbage detection systems are anyway. AI labeling AI…I’m so tired.

- Just unlocked a new political fear. Been calling to get Connecticut Gov to spend the rainy day fund and end unnecessary austerity — was reminded that where the Gov wants all those billions to be is with Wall Street— meaning that CT’s savings could be lost when the AI bubble bursts.
- In their attempt to blame it on the childcare worker, they admit that their presence there inherently endangered the children. But, of course, the cruelty is the point.

- Reposted by ktmulvaneyA nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing. And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power. When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.
