Nothing strange going on here :)

Buddy: Did the air conditioning just shut off?

Shiny: I hope so, it was getting a little chilly in here.

Buddy: While I do care about your comfort, I'm slightly more concerned about the half dozen barrels of radioactive waste that need to stay cool so they won't explode.

(Both start frantically blowing the barrels)

Mrs. Conductor: I'm hereby sentencing you to community service. You're gonna fix the line under my supervision.

Thurston: What?! This is crazy!

Don: Hey, and I know this might be a bad time right now, but uh... you owe me $32,000 in legal fees.

Thurston: What?

Don: (Nods) :3

[masterj]

E5 for dory!

Buddy: It's no use, I can't figure this out.

Shiny: (Looks at herself in a mirror)

Buddy: Wait a minute...

Shiny: Well, just because it's the end of the world doesn't mean I shouldn't look my best!

Buddy: That's it! We can use mirrors to aim solar rays at the asteroid!

IS A.I. TAKING OVER THINKING?

Students are increasingly delegating high-level thinking to artificial intelligence (AI) while performing only basic tasks, which is known as "inverted learning." This weakens critical cognitive muscles and goes against the foundation of learning. Nearly 40% of students use AI for creation and 30% for analysis, while barely 2% use it for remembering facts and only 10% for understanding. This pattern exists across disciplines, with STEM fields showing particularly high rates of cognitive outsourcing (36%). To address this challenge, we need to look back to ancient Greece, where Socrates developed the Socratic method. This method was more than a teaching technique; it was a psychological framework for developing critical thinking through the structured practice of dialogue. Socratic dialogue activates multiple cognitive processes essential for deep learning, such as cognitive dissonance, metacognition, and active processing. The Dialogic Learning Model recognizes technology as a participant in learning conversations, never its leader.In this model, AI becomes a conversational partner rather than a replacement for thinking. The goal is not to eliminate AI from education but to reframe how students engage with it, turning passive consumption into active dialogue. Students bring AI-generated analyses to class but must question underlying assumptions and defend or refute conclusions. Educators ask, "What evidence does this interpretation overlook? Where might its reasoning be flawed?" Students must evaluate the completeness and validity of the AI's interpretation rather than accepting it as authoritative. The Dialogic Learning Model builds on established psychological principles, activating neural pathways associated with higher-order thinking. When students engage in critical dialogue, even with AI, they enhance cognitive development in ways that passive consumption cannot match. There are promising signs that students are intuitively moving toward a more dialogic relationship with AI. Anthropic's report indicates that 23 to 29% of student interactions already involve collaborative problem-solving, with collaboration rates approaching 40%. To accelerate this shift, educators should design assessments that can't be delegated, create classroom experiences that necessitate genuine dialogue, teach explicit prompting strategies that elicit information for critical analysis rather than complete products, and model the practice of questioning AI outputs rather than accepting them at face value. Reclaiming critical thinking is crucial for our students' intellectual development. We must return to the Socratic foundations of learning and reframe AI as a tool in the service of human thinking. Students' intellectual development depends on the willingness to restore the ancient art of dialogue in the current tech-driven reality.

I drew a dragster car in the style of Roary The Racing Car. This was based on the "Shake & Go Dragsters" sets from Fisher Price. I've had it as a kid and it used to give me vibes of the show.

I also gave the car a visor on top. While I don't currently plan on anything big with the show, I might make an OC out of her, but if you want to use this design you're free to do so.

I have no idea how to begin this post. I’m shocked no one else on Tumblr has made it before me, since this news came out February.

But…

Starting “later this year” (no explicit date), Google will begin using AI to detect “minors lying about their age” (accounts that claim to be 18+ but aren’t.)

This is based on what you search, and the videos you watch on YouTube.

If you are an adult who watches things aimed at teenagers on YouTube- your account will be incorrectly flagged as “lying” and you will be, immediately and automatically, locked down. Restricted Mode on YouTube with no way to deactivate it, SafeSearch always on full force, privileges suspended.

It gets worse. If Google thinks you are under 13- the minimum age to have an account- it will, after a brief delay, DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT.

If you are a fan of a children’s show- say Thomas the Tank Engine, Super Wings, or Handy Manny- or even one aimed at “older” kids like Big City Greens- YOU ARE IN DANGER.

So… what can you do?

As far as anyone knows, the tracking is account-based, so if you browse or watch children’s content while signed out you should be safe.

WRITE TO GOOGLE. Tell them how displeased you are. Do not use “nice” words- they do not deserve them.

Search for alternatives to Google Chrome, Google Search, and every function an account can provide. Type these queries into the search engine a few more times than usual, to give them a little heart attack. They deserve it.

SPREAD THIS NEWS. Not just on Tumblr- spread it on every platform you have. And real life is a platform, too.

If you speak more languages than just English, translate this warning- this is coming to the US first, but that doesn’t mean it won’t eventually spread to the rest of the world.

And finally, WARN YOUR FRIENDS WHO MIGHT BE VULNERABLE TO THIS. To that extent, I’ll be tagging:
