And now, the case against Letitia James is dismissed too, same rationale but minus the statute of limitations complication.

Sorry, but why does every single person who thinks of this believe they’re the only person in the world to think of this? FWIW, as others have said, yes, students can and will use LLMs to reflect on the LLM’s initial response. (That’s also not what a primary source is but whatever.)

National parks will be funded until Jan. 30, meaning if Congress fails to pass another funding bill, the government will shutter β€” leaving the parks in limbo once again.

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law.

There must be consequences.

A few of you will recognize this as an homage to the Otto Dix painting, Streetfight, from 1927. Dix was witness to the battle in Berlin. The Freikorps, of course, morphed into the Nazi Party.

It's an astounding painting, tragically destroyed during WW2, either on a Nazi bonfire or by bombs.

My hot take is that over the next 10 years, we're going to see more emphasis on and investment in the humanities at Ivy League and other fancy schools just as state schools and small privates continue to decimate and even eliminate the humanities.

"The humanities really are a resource β€” a confidence for living in our times.” Dean Sara Guyer on the modern utility of humanities degrees This interview originally appeared on the Division of Arts

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

Two columns in front of second and third floors, covered in dense green and orange patterns. Two green critters stand on pedestals in between. Parapet a series of curves topped in a kind of pill shape. Sign in Chinese, green on green.

Commentary: The UC faculty just won a big court victory over Trump. But why didn't UC join their lawsuit? The UC faculty went to court to fight Trump's funding cutoffs and won. Why has the university system tried to negotiate instead?

Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

They're so fucking stupid and don't realize it. The only reason many white students can afford graduate degrees is because foreign students pay for the programs and allow them to be economically efficient. Without foreign students, many programs will now simply collapse. Genius.
