Law Firm Pressures Brown University to Erase Research on Anti-Wind Groups

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up.

Sitting in a class full of nuclear engineering undergrads, and most of them said that their primary motivation for joining the department was that nuclear is "cool". I wonder how many people never considered nuclear because they never had that "woah this is cool as hell" moment from an (1/2)

Earth’s climate is approaching irreversible tipping points Scientists are racing to work out just how close they might be

Good luck explaining to your grandchildren why we crossed known climate tipping points.

“Oh, we wanted to let big companies pollute for free,” won’t have much appeal.

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!"

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

A great 30-minute read on the importance of resisting narratives about AI’s “inevitability” and “falling behind” if you refuse to adopt them in your work.

AI is only inevitable if you allow it to be. Ask more questions. Demand more answers. Don’t take magical LLM job replacement stats for granted.

Just putting this out there for all the people who think we're going too fast on decarbonisation

Gen AI is actively causing the dismantling of important patterns and behaviors of collaborative and community learning in colleges because it’s easier to ask a chatbot than a classmate for help. Meanwhile, the developers of this technology: “It’s going to start the space age actually.”

I wish a very shitty and sole-less pair of boots upon every parasite that tells my generation (and those directly preceding/succeeding us) to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and make it work.

I can’t help but be resentful of the greedy business magnates that ruined (and are ruining) our planet and the politicians that allow them to do so.

It’s truly such a delight to be born into a dying world, without being asked, being told “good luck fixing it” by those responsible.

Our earth is withering and dying before us. So the US busies itself with encroaching on wildlife habitats for oil, clearcutting old growth forests to build cop cities, dragging its feet on clean energy, tightening the noose on queer people, astroturfing bribes from foreign regimes…

I love being able to:
1. Totally brick Arch Linux,
2. Reinstall root from an installation image,
3. Keep chugging after just reinstalling a couple packages.

I’ll actually get the hang of it one day, but until then unlimited free retries 🎉

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades (Gift Article) The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

NSF Physics was cut by 85%, basically wiping out most of its capacity for supporting research.

NSF Astronomy was cut by 53%

Undergrad education was cut by 71% and research on learning by 79%

Graduate education was cut by 100% to ZERO.

Thank you for breaking this. This is an outright travesty the likes of which I think we all expected, but it cuts so deep to see it actually happening. I hope your story brings more awareness to this.

The current legislature wants Death for all transgender people. They are so afraid of us that they cannot stand to coexist with us. To them, silencing us is the only option.

Stand with your trans colleagues, peers, and friends and call your goddamn representatives. We must be our own lobbyists.

Not even nuclear is safe from drill baby drill.

And somehow, the House GOP Budget bill got EVEN WORSE for clean electricity tax credits. Now requires commence construction 60 days after passage of law AND placed in service by end of 2028. Hard sunset, no phase-down. amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/R... 🔌💡

Absolutely inhumane and unlawful behavior. The party of "respect the troops" clearly only cares about service members when it is convenient for them.

Great article on the symbiosis between improved care investment / infrastructure & economic health. Makes it feel all the more insane that Manchin and R's shut BBB down over procedural nitpicks.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

It always amazes me how we've found a way to create digital comics out of straw!
