@mikker Yaplog is really cool! Is there a way to make it work with Cowork sessions as well? Thanks!

For me it was the iBook G4. There's a direct line from nerding out with it as a teen, to working for Apple in college, to teaching CS, to starting a school.
And that iBook sits in my office. On our best days, our kids get the feeling of discovery and wanting to create so intensely you eventually outgrow your tools.
This company disappoints me so much but I appreciate that the crazy ones aren't the people who make the tech, they're the people who make the tech worth making.
Dare ObasanjoThe defining characteristic of domestic policy in the United States is racism. It’s literally why we can’t have nice things.
Every time some practice doesn’t make sense from the war on drugs to how education is funded, Trump getting elected twice or the lack of universal healthcare, you can trace the roots back to racism.
People would rather be kings in hell than risk being servants in heaven.
Anil DashEverybody is (understandably) very excited that Anthropic isn't selling their AI for Hegseth to use to automate his war crimes. But I would gently suggest that we not accept setting the bar quite so low. https://www.anildash.com/2026/02/27/a-cookie-for-dario/
NiléaneThe contorting on @upgrade to defend Tim Cook like he's a poor boy who doesn't have a choice but to obey and be friends with President Trump is disgusting enough.
But the cherry on top was when I heard those two white men explaining to queer and POC employees at Apple that they should be glad their CEO hasn't cut DEI or implemented discriminatory measures like Disney.
What in the actual fuck is wrong with you?
“Liberal orthodoxy” is an absurd phrase to use alongside “restricted what schools can teach.”
I’d love a political movement with a positive vision for public schools. Until then I’ll keep running a school and fighting for the people who believe in reading books instead of burning them.
This, in a nutshell, is why I wish there were more Arc’s and fewer Dia’s. https://mastodon.social/@stephenrobles/114936453640818580
Seems like there ARE some things humans are still better at teaching you than AI…

Insulting teachers is a great way to make sure that the schools where kids spend most of their time don’t use your product. https://mas.to/@carnage4life/114542957808953760

I used to say that I expect that AI will be able to outperform humans at any intellectual task in my lifetime. While I still stand by that, the idea that LLMs can outperform teachers today except for the pesky need for childcare seems quite far fetched. https://fortune.com/2025/05/20/duolingo-ai-teacher-schools-childcare/
Sue SmithMy take on the - computer science educator only teaches computer science and not politics - discourse.. is that it very much constitutes telling on yourself as an educator if you are incapable of creating the conditions for true learning, which means supporting inquiry as learners develop their understanding of *literally any subject* within a social context, and idk maybe find another vocation because it doesnae sound like teaching is for you sweetheart
