Oooff what a terrible attitude. I also have a particular beef with folks that undercut people in their community. Artistic success is not zero sum. I just can't even imagine making a joke at the expense of others.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.

No one wants to police; we all want to read ideas that move knowledge forward. I don't think of editing & giving decision-making agency as similar "crimes." Editing may change a writer's voice in expressing their original ideas, but delegating decision-making to Claude removes human accountability.

I have to admit, I am concerned that as you step into a senior editorial position at a beloved field journal (congrats by the way) that your AI usage with regard to editorial workflow is not transparent. Is Claude going to be reviewing manuscripts? Calling balls and strikes?

Absolutely nothing cooler than feeling you have to tell other people that you're cool.

This man escaped a genocide backed by China, *fled successfully to the other end of the earth,* and then was killed in a campaign of government repression in America

A life that speaks to the human rights issues by the world’s two top powers

I'm hiring a postdoc (from Aug 1) to help build a new research program on politically sustainable immigration policies at Notre Dame.

Looking for a social scientist with strong quant skills, familiarity with new computational tools, and interest in public-facing research.

If there was one thing I wish everyone would understand, it is how our definition of β€œreligionβ€œ is itself Christian.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Thank you for all the support and reposts!

We've gotten a steady stream of inquiries and submissions for this competition, but also some ANXIETY that the window will close before people have a chance to submit.

We're nowhere near that! We'll update on here when we've allocated 50% of the capacity.
