Black History Month at Savage Mill - History Remembered. Futures Reclaimed - Savage Mill Black History Month events at Savage Mill

No blog today but here’s someone else’s. Are you up to date with everything going on at Savge Mill? It’s kind of amazing! www.savagemill.com/black-histor...

Anyways, congrats to everyone whose countries DON'T allow such a ridiculous defense

Is it a kidnapping if I steal a campus food delivery robot to repurpose for campus book delivery? I guess that's not a research question.

Why does our discovery layer think we only have one item on the 1990 Iraq invasion of Kuwait?

I mean nobody can explain why Dow Jones Factiva is uglier and less useful than a Telnet version but why does it also think May 1980 came before January 1980?

A challenge of evening teaching is I've got three research troubleshooting things to follow up on that are tomorrow Liz problems but today Liz would really like to know!

There are a lot of complicated dynamics on display in this video, but the assertion that "people encountering occasional reminders on social media that they are worthy of love and respect no matter what they look like" is a net negative is ludicrous.

This "why does the left hate AI?" thing is like when the right believes protests are paid for by George Soros; they need a SECRET CONSPIRATORIAL AGENT because they refuse to believe that, actually, a lot of people are independently looking at what AI is being made to be and saying "ok that sucks?"

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

Throwing this one out to librarians:

If you're looking for works translated by a particular person, how would you search?

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps.

I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

In Bed with the Right: Moira’s in the Epstein Files

I’m never going to talk about my lawsuit ever again, so if you want the gossip, here’s your chance: @adriandaub.bsky.social and I talked about the Epstein files as a document of Me Too backlash on @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Come for the deep Moira lore, stay for the analysis of men’s gender solidarity…

Thanks to @meowblub.bsky.social for tipping me off to this story. As soon as I saw the byline I knew it was important.

This isn’t a setback. This is deliberately thwarting the research and development of safe and effective medicine.

"Meanwhile, a woman in Norway has just been awarded gold in Having Your Private Business Exposed On Television By A Sobbing Doofus."

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Analysis: we fired all our arts and culture writers

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.

Tell them it will find your dog.

We got zero Super Bowl party invites. Which I guess makes sense but I would love to have a snacky buffet available rn.
