I saw Kate Crawford, Kishonna Gray and a bunch of other researchers I knew as “experts” in Grammarly. Sorry didn’t screenshot it all but here’s a screen recording me and Kishonna made last week. jilltxt.net/temp/grammar...
Alongside the humanitarian disaster, the scale of environmental disaster of this war is almost unfathomable. And all the MMM can talk about are oil prices, what about the cost of the release of toxins and CO2 into the atmosphere?
Look, I'm no international relations expert, but I'm starting to think starting a war with Iran was a really fucking stupid thing to do.
Folks, the use of AI to write reviews is a clear violation of peer review ethics + it endangers the authors' intellectual property rights. Don't do it.
Made hanging my head out the window and risking severe electrocution, not with AI
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention “believes that the U.S. is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. & globally”
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

The Trump regime has no idea what it’s doing hour to hour, just in case you thought there was some grand strategy in Iran
Thinking about this more: I believe these CGI images have a similar relationship to documentary images of cruelty towards animals as the one between taxidermy and the zoo identified by ppl like John Berger and Donna Haraway. Visitors to the zoo go to have a moment of contact with a wild animal. 1/4
There's one across from my subway stop on the way home, it's very very convenient but yeah now it just functionally doesn't exist for me. A (super liberal) friend from undergrad is a marketing exec for them & said it's been a rough ride.
Trump only got into Wharton after his family pulled strings and got him an interview with an official who did a "special favor" to the family. A Wharton prof later said he was "the dumbest goddamn student" he ever had.
So, yes, his admission does say a lot about how smart he is.
ICE is not kidnapping minors. Fuck you ICE... ICE detains Marlborough 14-year-old, apparently as ‘hostage’ to target her father, Rep. Trahan says; The teenage girl was apparently used to bait her father during an "overnight attempt," Rep. Lori Trahan said.

“The three judges on the panel — who’d all been appointed by Republican presidents (two by Trump and one by George Bush Sr.) -— had dissented in 2024 when the majority of the 4th Circuit declared the West Virginia law invalid.”
On May 1, Third Realm unveils “Escape Sequence,” the 16th full-length album release. Here is the official track listing for the next chapter. Just in time for Dark Force Fest!
I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military
Bill Hicks was right about a lot of things, especially the US military.
We are governed by truly evil people.
There should be better pathways to waiving congestion pricing charges for lower income residents and same with residential parking permitting.
A restaurant chain cannot have personal values or a lifestyle.
But if Chili's *were* a person, it'd be a divorced MAGA dad wearing a South of the Border t-shirt.
I really can't wait to see how big the lawsuit against grammarly gets and I hope the plaintiffs sue them into complete and fundamental nonexistence. Like, "the company has to scrap their code rather than sell it as assets, and then also dissolve" nonexistence.
And Neta Alexander's book talk coming up on Friday eve!

"It’s a very perverse thing we’re doing ...Trump started a war that caused gas prices to rise. We’re relaxing the sanctions on Russia, which is helping Iran to kill our soldiers. If anybody had thought this through ... these consequences could have been anticipated."

There are many presidential admins that end up sustaining severe damage to themselves due to circumstances outside of their control or bc of inadequate/flat footed responses to those sorts of things. With starting a war with Iran on a lark, Trump has somehow managed to invite both on himself
Just repeating to myself "the university system is not a house of straw to buckle in the storm" over and over again this week
It is already funny but now it’s become far funnier because they know everyone knows and is looking at their shoes but they still have to do this
