SCOOP: Suzy Weiss — Bari Weiss's sister & The Free Press co-founder — is set to appear on CBS airwaves tomorrow, to talk about her recent piece on lab-grown diamonds.

Would be the second Free Press writer to appear on CBS this week, despite CBS staff concerns the outlet doesn't meet CBS standards.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

How to Protect Your Right to Culture The United States government’s coordinated repeal of the right to culture has grave consequences for the texture of our daily lives. But there are ways to fight back.

Culture might seem a less consequential right than free assembly+ its infringement makes less spectacular news than repressive violence. But the repeal of the right to culture is grave.

An attorney in a New York Supreme Court commercial case got caught using AI in his filings, and then got caught using AI again in the brief where he had to explain why he used AI, according to court documents filed earlier this month.

Feel like shooting and killing the five people is the more consequential breach of the ceasefire

Generative AI has access to a small slice of human knowledge | Aeon Essays Huge swathes of human knowledge are missing from the internet. By definition, generative AI is shockingly ignorant too

“Maybe the intelligence we most need is the capacity to see beyond the hierarchies that determine which knowledge counts. Without that foundation, regardless of the hundreds of billions we pour into developing superintelligence, we’ll keep erasing knowledge systems that took generations to develop.”

Bovino standing in a Trenchcoat in a hallway lit red. It’s giving Temu fascism.

Trumps head of operations for the war being waged in Chicago is openly trying to channel the supposedly masculine imagery of the Nazis

Make no mistake these domestic enemies waging war against the states are Nazis.

Bovino is really trying to sell its aesthetic now.

Tennessee man arrested, gets $2 million bond for posting Facebook meme Larry Bushart posted a meme on a local Facebook page about Charlie Kirk. He now faces years in prison.

Everything about this is bonkers. The arrest, the charge, the possible sentence, the **$2 million bail.**

The AI Slur ‘Clanker’ Has Become a Cover for Racist TikTok Skits The online trend takes a comedic approach to spreading anti-AI messaging, but some creators are using racist references to make their point.

“For me, the racism very much shows just how embedded and how tied anti-Blackness is with our ideas of work and labor and service and servitude.”

Many of these “illustrations” aren’t based on verified intelligence at all.

Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.

Chief executive Sam Altman on Monday said becoming profitable was "not in my top-10 concerns".

this is a very well-reported piece and if you didn't read it last year please read it this year

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

Again, whoever does this should have to immediately give their job to the nearest adjunct, post-doc or senior grad student.

I agree. We need to start appropriately identifying these as extrajudicial killings and murders by agents for the state.

Portland Trail Blazers Buyer Tom Dundon Built His Fortune on Subprime Loans In 2020, the state sued Santander Consumer USA for allegedly preying on Oregonians through high-interest car loans they couldn’t afford in a case involving more than 265,000 borrowers nationwide.

The guy buying the Portland Trail Blazers is using a fortune "that was built on predatory lending. ... He made lots of profit ... on the backs of low- and poor-credit individuals.”

And now the team is poised to ask for public money to stay in Portland.

Challenge to leaders of private elite universities: work with others.

Cherminsky is right ofc. But elite privates think they’re way too special to follow anyone else’s lead. They are convinced they’ll win more by going it alone (and going along).

Yes, New College is incredibly inefficient but it also dropped 60(!) spots on the US News & World Report rankings. Not easy!
Everytime Chris Rufo is introduced as an impt voice in higher ed, remember that the one time he had a hand in running an institution has been a disaster.
Competence matters.
