The fallacy that University leaders pushing AI are falling into is thinking that the point of undergraduate research is to find things out. It isn't. What students find out is typically already generally known. The point of undergraduate research is to learn how to find things out.
PSA: No Kings is a coalition, not an org, and it does not do fundraising appeals for itself. Partner orgs raise money for costs we're incurring to put it on. But if you get a text from "NO KINGS" or a PAC you've never heard of before asking for $ that is a scam and you should block/shame away.
The bellwether for any politician should be "human rights for everyone." Because if human rights don't apply to ALL humans, then they aren't "human rights" they're just demographics to manipulate for political gain. Empathy is a prerequisite, not an optional trait.

Political organizations seek power by persuading and mobilizing voters. “You helped elect Trump” reverses that relationship. The institution doesnt have to explain why it lost support, critics must explain why they failed to suppress their criticism enthusiastically enough.
Absolutes are always dangerous but every single human being who has ever used the phrase “helped elect Trump” sleeps in a protective tent filled with their own fart gas.

So tomorrow when my husband (and funnily one of my close friends) both celebrate their birthdays, I think about it as a New York specific tragedy because if you hate NYC, you don’t get to claim 9/11
They have a narrative that al qaeda attacked “America” because it’s “Christian”. And no, they attacked NYC because it’s liberal and powerful and diverse - the opposite of the red state rural constituency that wants to claim 9/11 the most

I'm reading an article in "bylinetimes.com" at the moment, and at the bottom of the page there's a banner that says "please pay, almost nobody pays." Dear friends, stop whining and wake the fuck up. If nobody is paying, you're doing something wrong. I want to support, but I don't want to subscribe.

People have no idea how bad it was. From my book The Mother of All Questions:
It really sucks, doesn't it? Instead of getting excited as I used to when I get a new message, I'm just like ugh, another changeling wearing an uncanny approximation of a human face trying to trick its way into my cottage
Perhaps not the Pandora's Box we were expecting, but an interesting one nonetheless and I am excited to see it opened further
