There's a ChatGPT ad about a family farm where the owner says her family has been doing this for a hundred years and she doesn't want to be the one to screw it up and that's why she's getting advice from ChatGPT and, my God, can you people hear yourselves?

David Graeber explained why jobs that often do quite a lot of damage to society, those jobs tend to be very highly paid.

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors

"As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

ICE agents! Keep quitting, spill the beans and help us take down the institutuon that's not going to pay you anyway.

If Epstein is Trending, Why Isn’t +1.7°C? The news cycle has become a hall of mirrors: Epstein, Trumpism, war, outrage, retribution. A thousand scandals designed to keep us anxious, tribal, and tired. We have to hold multiple truths at once: ...

"This is the hard truth I want to land: climate does not care what’s trending. It’s not interested in Jeffrey Epstein, Gaza, or Greenland. There is no algorithmic mercy. Physics is physics, and it is getting more abrupt."

As an officer of the Philosophy of Science association, I would like to officially invite the Muppets to the next PSA conference in San Diego

Being a professor is like Picture of Dorian Gray except it’s the students who stay young and full of life while you decay year after year in front of them

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the allegations of overcrowding and lack of access to lawyers are false.

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

I'd watch a muppet show movie where the muppets infiltrate an academic conference.

How I imagine the sophistication of my research.

How I present my research.

another year of us not running a super bowl ad

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

1. As I've noted before, I have this thing called the Krissy Test, which is, if there's something I was thinking of doing and I wouldn't want tell my spouse about it*, then I don't do that. It keeps the closet skeletons down to a dull rattle. I think I'm fine.

*Surprise birthday parties excepted.

Michel-Rolphe Trouillot: *turns to look at camera*

I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/

Well that was a massive student walkout at Ocean View high school. Not gonna lie, doing safety for ~800 angry high schoolers marching along the busiest street in the city (Beach blvd) was a little stressful, but we got it done.

He's disabled. They're going to murder him because he's disabled.

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.

I’m sorry but people talking about talent as an unfair quality that needs to be Harrison Bergeroned away by AI have exactly the same energy as people saying it’s unfair that attractive people have more people attracted to them and the government should legislate their right to a hot wife

The Washington Post—for which I wrote editorials for nearly a decade—has closed its Kyiv bureau.

@lawfaremedia.org has not—and we will not.

We now employ more people in Kyiv than the Washington Post.

Let me tell you about what we have done in Ukraine over the past year and why we are not leaving

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I don’t want to laugh at a small business but also VERY funny

More than 200 people are outside The Graduate by Hilton on the University of Minnesota campus for another noisemaking demonstration to protest ICE agents reportedly staying at the hotel.

In my eighteenth year of teaching I have never yet met an occasion when it was necessary, relevant, or advantageous to describe a student's physical appearance.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.
