The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.”

Huge.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Texas Colleges Rolled Over for Anti-DEI Bill. Now They Face a Broader Attack. Schools that overcomplied with state bills targeting DEI initiatives are now vulnerable to attacks on curriculum, too.

We have been censored in the US for our research on LGBTQ+ sexual violence.

My co-authors and I are extremely concerned about research and activism being censored and the speed with which organisations have acquiesced to transphobic, homophobic and misogynist demands.

list of banned keywords

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

In learning cultures that are mortally afraid of 'being wrong', a correction can feel like an intensely personal attack.

The elevators in my apartment have screens that show the news, but rather than show major world news and finance, it's a sea of gangland murder, domestic violence, a billionaire said something stupid, terrorism, and teen crime stories, which just sets the mood for leaving your home that day.

Can you share these readings?

‘Precocious’ early-career scientists with high citation counts proliferate Researchers have questions about how so many authors have racked up a large number of citations so quickly, although some of those authors are honest overachievers.

"...some of the precocious authors had published what he calls “sometimes nonsensical papers” that included dozens or even 100 citations to their own paper". #academicchatter

Goodluck in your applications/job search!

I don't know the rules for every country, but I've seen colleagues just provide official evidence of name change (it must show previous name and current name) to demonstrate that the degree is theirs.

But you can ask for it to be reissued under new name. Usually costs admin/processing fee.

Re: publications. Create ORCID account and link your publications together and include your multiple names.

Re: degree. Not enough context to know how to respond. What are you trying to do with them in relation to what entity?

U.S. Military Service Is the Strongest Predictor of Carrying Out Extremist Violence The mass murder in New Orleans and Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas fit a troubling pattern among U.S. vets, research says.

Need to look further into the operationalisation of the terms, but interesting stats that are often ignored/obfuscated,

The American Patriots sought to protect both liberty and property, which they understood as interdependent. But the property of the colonists included thousands of people held as perpetual slaves deprived of their own liberty. In Virginia, a leading Patriot, Richard Henry Lee, staged a protest by parading his slaves around a courthouse while carrying banners that denounced Parliament's taxes as “chains of slavery." Masters like Lee and Tucker had a very weak sense of irony. Colonel Tucker might have seen greater marks of slavery had he looked at his own slaves.?

If I had to capture the essence of “rightwing populism” I think I would cite the time in 1774 Virginia slaveowner Richard Henry Lee wanted to protest new taxes levied by the British so he forced his slaves to protest the tax hike on his behalf with banners denouncing the taxes as "chains of slavery"

Perps were so proud they set up TikTok and Instragram accounts to share their handiwork.

Of course, the impressionable young are charged, but the media, politicians, political commentators and religious figures and organisations that openly incited such violence get away scot-free.

Teen gang allegedly lured in gay men in on Grindr before bashing them WA Police launched an investigation into a group of homophobic thugs who targeted gender diverse men in Perth and made two arrests on Thursday.

Others were charged in Perth just a few months ago for the same crime and modus operandi demonstrating that this is a coordinated terrorism targeting the gay community

‘Pedo hunts’: Gay-bashing teen gangs in wave of Sydney attacks The teenagers are luring men to public parks before bashing, robbing and filming their victims for social media in a shocking revival of Sydney’s gay hate era.

Whowouldathunk that increasingly vitriolic rhetoric accusing LGBTIQ+ community of being 'groomers' would lead to violence against said community for being 'pedos'? So here we are again. The return of organised gay bashings in Sydney during 2024.
