A good thread on the fall of UChicago. I'd add that they leaned harder into speech panic than perhaps any other major institution. It turns out, if you can believe it, that there were more pressing issues on campus.

Nothing makes more sense than you being a socialist male, trust me.

But let me reiterate, no individual enjoyment of LLMs justifies the current project of building ecologically disastrous data centers to fuel their continued speculation. There is no justifiable socialist defense of doing so.

Pro-Israel groups have attacked me for years. The Bendigo Writers Festival is a turning point. Randa Abdel-Fattah writes of her experience as a target of the pro-Israel lobby

On Sunday, The Age commissioned an opinion piece from Palestinian author and academic Randa Abdel-Fattah - only to decline publishing it after it was submitted.

Thanks to Randa for letting us publish it here.

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.”

Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.
