Teddy Roosevelt’s Family Urges G.O.P. to Protect Public Lands

They critiqued the party's retreat from the environmental legacy of Roosevelt, who protected ~230M acres of public lands during his presidency. β€œIt is now time for all of you to get in the arena with him," they wrote, referencing a famous Roosevelt quote: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/c... (gift). 🌎

ICE and DHS are doing blanket requests for access to social media posts to find those critical of ICE and DHS. Hey, ICE, here's me! I'm being critical in social media because, you know, freedom of expression!

Depends on the work. But yeah, not ALL conferences, for instance.

Anthropologists and sociologists and anthropological linguists have long used these methods of time-participation observation, sans LLMs of course.

Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars?

These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research.

So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ³ πŸ’‹

PLUS our university bookstore provided this 2025 'release' to my students without telling me they were changing the order. This led to unending problems in grading last semester. Shame on you Follett Higher Education.

It is no wonder that my university students are deeply confused about how to cite their textbook. This kind of erasure is just wrong.

@mcgraw-hill.bsky.social has been changing textbooks with new 'releases.' No new content except for some online things, but it changes the pagination a lot. In addition, their copyright page for the '2025 release' makes NO mention that in terms of text it's still the 19th edition, published 2021.

I know full well the amount of mental work and constant awareness it takes to avoid these kind of men. I don't have the luxury of wandering around thinking complex things through in my brain all the time, because I have to pay attention. Believe me, I'd WAAAY prefer living in my brain thinking...

Three things:

1) No longer classifying swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag as hate symbols is quite bad, and in line with many other actions from this admin.

2) Congrats to the cancel culture moral panickers.

3) I don't think a good political response to this is to shrug at Nazi tattoos.
