It was a brief summary and commentary on the findings meant for a general audience. They didn’t make it public.

Asked if I wanted this on my profile and generate other podcasts, I chose "no". I had reservations about accuracy, permission,content, and the transparency and nature of the content. When I declined, Academia.edu told me: "podcast feature not ready yet. Your podcast will private."
Wild.

The podcast seemed geared toward a general audience, which I thought was beneficial, and it highlighted some of the major implications without overemphasizing the nature of the findings. Although there wasn't much detail about the findings, the podcast was well structured for a general audience.

Although I was told this was an AI-generated podcast, that was not mentioned in the recording itself, which seems misleading. The Price persona claimed that "in thinking back" on his school days, "none of this was on the radar". Was this statement LLM-generated?

It was about 5-minutes long, narrated by a persona of Richard Price, CEO of Academia.edu. I wasn't asked about this in advance, and the title of the manuscript was not cited entirely, nor were my co-authors credited. The podcast was not accurate regarding the methods and data sources used.

WTH? So Academia.Edu, a research sharing site, informed me they had generated an AI podcast on paper I was an author on: "Examining the Relationship Between LGBTQ-Supportive School Health Policies and Practices and Psychosocial Health Outcomes of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Heterosexual Students".

Understanding MAGA: A Worldview, Not a Wedge Issue How Trumpism offers a sense of belonging, purpose, and revenge—by rewriting who counts, what’s true, and what power is for.

The MAGA movement isn’t fueled by misinformation—it’s built on meaning. To confront it, we must stop fact-checking and start offering a better story: one that restores trust, renews civic life, and reclaims the moral imagination of democracy.

Good. Let's get the younger generations in there.

Some boomers might actually be 'Generation Jones' Daniel Levine tells Newsweek that the idea "really resonates with people" who don't feel represented by the title of baby boomer and feel like a change.

New Obesity Definition Challenges Current Use of B.M.I. An international commission made the case for focusing on body fat quantity and the illnesses people experience.

Interesting. A step in the right direction to better contextualize BMI.

Correct. They also called one man out of church services to arrest him. Many of the Atlanta ICE enforcement sweeps were made around my neighborhood.

I showed this one to my husband, who asked where the writer had been hiding that the leftist tendencies of Reddit was a surprise.

Chamblee Response to Recent Federal Immigration Raids

Many raids near my homes, including outside churches. Here is one city's response. I'm proud of Chamblee!

It isn't rhetorical at all. And I think it has implications for White Christian nationlism in our Armed Forces.

CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960.

Until today.

Donald Trump DEI order sees female and black WWII pilots cut from air force training It comes after the US president imposed a ban on diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) programmes.

Who is harmed by learning about the Tuskegee Airmen and the WASPs? What good is done by eliminating these lessons and for whom?

ICE makes arrests in metro Atlanta, announces ‘targeted operations’ elsewhere U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Sunday announced “targeted operations” in Chicago, and made several arrests in metro Atlanta, federal officials said.

So much for just rounding up undocumented folks with violent criminal offenses. Anyone surprised?

Evidence of misogynistic racism.

I really need to play around to use block lists properly. Who knew there would be bots for argument? Like people need help?

YouTube video by Raul Martins JazzMania David Byrne - Don't Fence Me In. Red Hot + Blue.mp4

@stlthmc.bsky.social -- you got me in a Red Hot and Blue mood! Sharing my favorite from that album. We have more fences than we need. A good GenJones reference!

I loved this album! Part of a great HIV prevention and treatment fund-raiser.

This is exactly what I have done. I also like the Bluesky norm of blocking instead of engaging and that's what I do on FB as well.

There is! I definitely feel more a part of this group generational than I do the broader Boomer group.

Zuckerberg is not a Trump supporter. He is an opportunist without convictions expressing support because that is to his advantage.

I'm pretty sure this is a confrontation bot.
Look at it's comments and you'll see what I mean.

This is definitely not FB, and it doesn't allow for groups the way it does-- it's more like Twitter. And that's exactly why I'm still on FB and Instagram (with a smaller footprint than I used to have).

Instagram and Facebook Blocked and Hid Abortion Pill Providers’ Posts Some posts related to obtaining abortion pills were recently hidden on Instagram and Facebook and some accounts were suspended, before being later restored.

For now, at least, this is why Bluesky is an important place.

A week of chaos in public health The truth is, there’s a lot we don’t know yet.

This is a decently accurate summary of the week.
