It comes at different times in different areas, but for the Board of Directors and the Chief Marital Officer, summer vacation starts this week. It's a curious custom (which is not related to setting the young'uns free to work on the farm) but some traditions are hard to fight.
Here we go with this week's reading. Remember to share and amplify.

Doctored Doom
Remember when MOOC was going to kill all the universities. Audrey Watters does, and she has some lessons for us from that marketing-masquerading-as-prediction.
In Fresno, the superintendent charged that the union was harassing her through social media posts and e-mails. She shared documentation. Turns out her staff handed the compiling job over to AI, and--oopsies! Not quite accurate.
Fresno superintendent shouldn't feel bad-- the doofus running the Department of Health and Human Services did the same damn thing. But once you look past the really obvious AI slop, turns out you find-- more slop.
If you like your AI skepticism straight up and sharp-edged, Ed Zitron is your guy.
This week at the Bucks County Beacon, I explained why the voucher language hiding in the Big Beautiful Bill is Bad News.
