Of interest for some:

Oh, and here is the stuff that those #librarians, who should know better, along with #HigherEd administrators are rushing to embrace and shove down everyone's throats.
> AI Is Destroying a Generation of Students https://futurism.com/ai-destroying-generation-students
Got another email about a virtual junket on how #AISlop will "revolutionize" #libraries and how #librarians all need to adapt to it because something or other.
This accelerating push to embrace #AI unquestioningly is concerning (not to mention stinks of Library 2.0 echoes).

> Repeat After Me: AI Doesn’t Know Anything https://terribleminds.com/ramble/2025/05/21/repeat-after-me-ai-doesnt-know-anything/
FTA: "Generative AI is the tool of the lazy and the unimaginative, the slugabed bullshit artist, the idea-fetishist, the disinterested and callous, the ignorant eyes-forced-shut soft-boy dimwits, the people who simply don’t care enough to make the journey and care only to teleport to the destination..." and of #librarians who should know better.

If I were still a HS Librarian, I'd absolutely use this thread for a lesson on #infolit and share with other schools (and my former editor at School Library Journal). Thanks for an excellent articulate look at #foodscience and #farming

> Why Books are Rebellious and Hopeful in a Time of Social Media Saturation and Injustice https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/12/06/why-books-are-rebellious-and-hopeful-in-a-time-of-social-media-saturation-and-injustice/
FTA: "The critical thought that books usually encourage (certain genres less so) is vital for then questioning the status quo, being less vulnerable to the manipulation of advertising and misinformation, developing strong ethics, and comprehending the root causes of problems and generating solutions."
Translation: Assholes will be assholes. So, remember to verify and fact check. Need help? You can always ask your local friendly librarian.

I am not a member (for reasons), but if you are and you are a librarian, this may be for you.

Late night critical pedagogy / critical librarianship (#critLib) provocation:
What if when educators use "literacy" as a metaphor (and I'm particularly thinking of "information literacy" / #infoLit here),
what's instead actually being discussed is usually something much closer to "acculturation into the socially dominant ways of thinking"?
