The president is a lunatic

Trump and crew love to falsely accuse the Democrats of doing exactly what they themselves are doing

So terribly sorry to hear. My deepest sympathies to you and your family

In my Causal Inference course I allow gen AI use to help with R coding, but not to write answers to assignment questions. This is on the honour system, and unfortunately I suspect several students are using it to write their answers. The real giveaway is that ChatGPT really fails at drawing DAGs

I want to live in a timeline where this post by a childrens' book publisher is not necessary

Kids Can Press company logo and logo and image of Franklin character with statement text,”Franklin the Turtle is a beloved Canadian icon who has inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy, and inclusivity. We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values.”

The Provost has to review and sign off on the minutia of course content?!? This is the worst curriculum governance process I have ever seen

I know 😢; I was just advocating for a better world

Why is your government still using the platform?

But Woke 2.0 doesn't invalidate Woke 1.0. Indeed, the goals are the same: real, effective freedom and equality for all. The justified anger and vengeful agenda of Woke 2.0--absent from Woke 1.0--will be wasted if they don't destroy systemic racism and misogyny along with our cartoon villains. /🧵
