The snow shoveler expansion exemplifies to a different orientation to governance, because the admin began with a standard—sidewalk accessibility—and then adjusted the scale of labor to meet it, with accessibility functioning as the organizing principle rather than a secondary consideration.

Truly the Pelicans of the Sea.

(I suspect @linkletter.org and @hypervisible.blacksky.app have thoughts.)

A pressing practical question for Higher Ed: if universities are administering GenAI platforms for student use, are the associated records/logs made available (and how/with what limitations) for, say, FOIA requests, academic misconduct investigations, or HR proceedings?

Broken link?

In this 99% of wealth held by the .00001% scenario, it would be something like:

Multiplying that $164T number by .01 and then dividing the result by a rounded 340 million people would give an average net worth of around $4,800 for every person who isn’t in that group of 19 people.

A thing I often wonder: when might today’s conservative folks say wealth concentration would be too high.

I bet we’d find vanishingly few who believe the .00001% should have 99% of all wealth rather than 2% (which I expect many to endorse).

Working backward, where do they start to draw the line?

For this and related reasons, my office doesn’t accept AI detectors as evidence for alleged misconduct. (I started in the University of Oklahoma Academic Integrity office last fall.)

At the International Conference on SDT, the final session has long been a Q&A with Ryan & Deci. The 8th was the first without Deci (he was in the audience).

When Ryan acknowledged their lifelong research partnership, we gave Deci a standing ovation and he cried tears of joy.

His work is enduring.

This is precisely what polling places were like for part of the 19th century.

People often traveled long distances by horse to vote. It was a big deal when folks got together this way.

I love that they house the Peace Collection. They have materials from my Grandfather’s time as a WWII conscientious objector.

In the purportedly richest country in the world, one possible approach would have been to dismantle the East Wing for reconstruction elsewhere as museum or other form of historical preservation.

Similarly, or by extension, they would also be bad at doing what WWII conscientious objectors did—much the same labor, but driven by a moral stand and set of values.

I suspect there is an important distinction (though I’m not sure what it would change tactically) in whether you’re engaging with an originator of a frame or a propagate of the frame.

Originators could have a different view of how a bad faith argument serves some other instrumental goal. 2/2

I think there might be some utility in exploring that extended metaphor, but I agree that it would be attenuated at best.

My response more humorously than as substantive. 1/2

Definitely in the blog. Mea culpa.

Very important question. Is the frame coming back out the front as a star, or do I get to wear it as a cute little hat? Do I get to choose? Hats are rather ideological these days.

(Forgi me if it’s in the blog, I’m about to read it now.)

I've had one useful thing knocking around in my head for a long while. Would you be open to having a virtual synchronous chat about it?

Agreed. I think it's even worse: many politicians don't WANT people to do more than give money and vote. They don't want people calling them about issues, questioning their decisions. I strongly prefer politicians who come out of activism, actually care about things, and want to involve community.

How is that choice exercised, does the conviction contain some mechanism by which senators specify that outcome?

Legal minded folks, am I correct in remembering that impeachment after resignation still prevents an individual from holding federal office ever again?

Ooh, ooh, do strict limitations on enforcement that relies on, disincentivizes, and preempts engagement with court proceedings!

She said she voted Republican for the first time which means that in the past LGBTQ stuff was not a deal breaker for her which means something turned it into a deal breaker for her and I think we should be VERY curious about the systemic issues which shaped that outcome

WE SHOULDN'T USE POLLING TO TELL US WHAT OUR VALUES ARE, WE SHOULD USE POLLING TO FURTHER ADVANCE THE CAUSES WE VALUE.

Someone get this band director a raise.

The "To President Donald J. Trump" certainly seems to imply it's in his professional capacity rather than as a private citizen.

Question about gifting Trump the Nobel Medallion:

If it's something he's receiving in his official capacity, is it in effect a gift to the USFG, to be retained by the government after he leaves office?

Those who work in intelligence (and some but not all military roles) are permanently barred from Peace Corps service. Regardless, when I served I was often accused of being a spy. This is the sort of thing that will get innocent Americans killed, not to speak of being immoral in itself.

Slightly diminish a game:
