Replying all to institutional emails with more than three recipients should require calling IT and asking for a permission code.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

NO CAP ONLY FLOOR *eagle screech*

Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power

The focus of these pieces is always the material output of AI which needs to be seriously grappled with in terms of its impact and end use. But zero of these pieces ever come close to the material realities comprising AI; environmental costs, community costs where data centers are built, etc.

Oh cool well anyway I actually like thinking and having ideas

Crazy that Newsom had a good social media manager who posted some good tweets and now everyone is like, if you don’t like this man, you want democracy to die

Do squats, fight fascism.

To be a billionaire is to sin.

Our wars are about destroying nations!

Paramount and Warner Bros' deal is about merging studios, and a whole lot more The nearly $111 billion marriage would unite Paramount and Warner film studios, streamers and television properties — including CNN — under the control of the wealthy Ellison family.

"The Iranian #RedCrescent is literally listing the sites being hit: Khatam al-Anbiya, Motahari Hospital, and their own Tehran HQ.

201 dead and 747 injured in 24 hours. You don't "pave a path to peace" by bombing the people who treat the wounded. This is a war on survival.

By “pivot to Asia” we meant southwest Asia.

And by “we can’t give this stuff to Ukraine, we need it for possible war with China and we’re depleted enough already” we meant, uh, shut up.

I told the Times that if Trump installs the statue of Rodney at Freedom Plaza then they should rename it the Freedom For Some Plaza but they didn't run that quotation.

One of my senators (D) went on TV and framed the problem with Trump's decision to launch an unprovoked assault on another country as entirely about process. She agrees with the carnage, she just wishes she would have been consulted about it first. Sorry to be a bit bummed out by that, I guess.

In class, we recently covered the American, French, & Haitian revolutions.

We talked about ulterior motives & how countries could do something seemingly just for the wrong reasons, often with awful results.

If Trump wanted to liberate the Iranian people, he wouldn't begin with blowing up kids.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

I can't fathom the malice it takes to start a war.

A source close to Pope Leo XIV tells me the pontiff is expected to “condemn President Trump’s immoral and illegal strike against Iran and appeal for peace” during his Sunday Angelus.

Spending a Friday night doing geometry is my Lenten penance.

In my time at Princeton, we've had several Army officers in our doctoral program. They've all done excellent work.

When this former Princeton undergrad says we're actually teaching them "the enemy's wicked ideology" I have no idea what the hell he's talking about but, of course, neither does he.

Easy for me to say, sure, but I couldn’t really see voting to confirm the nominees of a president whose goon squad killed my constituents

Press conference at the conclusion of the meetings of the bishops of the Texas/Mexico border.
“In these massive detention centers, migrants are relegated to anonymity and oblivion. Their own families do not know where they are. This is fundamentally unjust.”

i’m tired of every paper (even critical ones) on societal impact of AI starting by both-siding the “benefits” and risks/harms of AI

in academia, i would like us to arrive at a collective reckoning that we don’t need to play both sides. it's totally legit to clearly state just the harms. period

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.
