In intro courses we read our primary sources in class together and group discussion afterwards. Only way I can get some students to read a page or two.

Arguably, however it is (very bad) medical advice when you promote useless interventions such as budesonide, vitamin A, clarithromycin as a false equivalent to vaccines

Major airspace closures for civil aviation announced by both Pakistan (all airspace) and India (along the border with Pakistan) in the last few hours. We're possibly about to witness the start of the most intense and broad-spectrum direct conflict between two nuclear-armed states ever.

Understanding the human experience is paramount in times like these. Humanities funding opportunities were already comically low, but the work must go on. Keep writing!
Framing the adoption of AI as an historical inevitability, rather than a way to do a thing you want or need done, gives the game away.
Nobody selling it this hard cares whether it helps; they want it to be the thing you have to deal with, like it or not. Problems, solutions, whatβs the difference?

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice.
He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama.
It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.
Insurance companies arenβt just players in the fight with doctors over money; theyβre also the referees.
They produce their own guidelines on when to pay claims. If a doctor appeals a denial, insurers make all the initial decisions.
