Defense of the humanities has to include all of the branches and areas of study that other people defended for years until they didn't have jobs and voices anymore.
Belated start to my thread sharing this week's blog series, thanks to my account being frustratingly suspended for a couple days, as I'll say more about soon. But you best believe I'm going to share this series, as it's about one of my favorite experiences this year, with my fav person & TV show! +
Allegations against Lauren Boebert include sexual relations with Congressional employees, hush money payments, and thousands of dollars in misused official and campaign funds. Here's the redacted complaint: media.coloradotimesrecorder.com/wp-content/u...

CNN, MS NOW, POLITICO were officially locked out of the White House today, simply because Trump doesn’t like their coverage. Every news org should stand w/their colleagues. A free press only works if it stands together. NO ACCESS FOR ONE. NO ACCESS FOR ALL. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @nytimes.com
Time to boycott Robert Kraft, his football team, and his stadium. Massachusetts, you know the assignment. Let's do this.
Much of my research involves developing data-driven prediction and decision software to reduce pollution and energy bills. Most real-world successes in this field do not involve LLMs and do not require building massive new data centers or ingesting mass amounts of data without creators' consent.
Ketan Joshi@ketanjoshi.co · 2d agoThe idea that "AI" generally will have a "net benefit" for climate is something we (me and some climate / digital campaign groups) have been fighting to debunk. In all cases: it blends traditional AI with generative AI, overstating the benefits of the first and understating the impacts of the 2nd
I saw @karenattiah.bsky.social getting dogpiled on for this, and that is unacceptable, so as a gender studies professor, I'll say it: this is gender-affirming care. Cis people also have gender, and anything related to your biological sex or your gender is gender-affirming care.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · yesterdayNEWS: The Pentagon has announced mandatory low-testosterone screenings for male troops 30 and older, including screening for symptoms such as “reduced libido, loss of spontaneous morning erections, erectile dysfunction,” and other symptoms.
As @hermioneclone.bsky.social noted, the Smithsonian has essentially canceled public presentation of this due to political pressure. Just so it's clear, this is based on paternity testing using genomics–there is no question anymore that Jefferson has Black descendants.

I an thrilled they were able to prove this beyond a shadow of a doubt. Fawn Brodie and Dr. Gordon-Reed and so many others are owed apologies. But it looks like the Smithsonian lecture about it has been cancelled. Image in next tweet.

I would like to point out that the local people in Bolivia were already familiar with the new cat species, traditionally calling it "Tilcayo", a name honored by the scientists who carried it over into the formal scientific name Leopardus tilcayo.
Any of us who had a kid in the NICU (and there are surely a bunch of us) has a sense of what those parents those babies are going through. Fervently wishing that everyone comes through ok. I hate them. I hate them.

WAPO is reporting that at least four more service members have died in the war in Iran than DOD is publicly acknowledging. CNN is reporting that the US almost seized a Chinese vessel because AI incorrectly identified it as containing Iranian nuclear material. Clown show.

Believe it or not, the country is not awash in performing arts centers large enough to hold a full symphony orchestra, and we should be fighting to preserve the ones we have
I’ve seen some people making comments about not caring about the Kennedy Center, or even wanting it gone, and if you’re not local, maybe sit this one out. It may be an abstraction to you, but to me it’s where I want to take my kids someday to see the symphony, the ballet, touring shows, etc
Reminder that Elon's DOGE recommended firing government workers at the... -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. See what DOGE was really all about?
Think of the combined CENTURIES of expertise lost here, the creativity, the knowledge, the depth and breadth of cultural learning and understanding, the generations of minds enriched and enlightened, the sheer weight of history that led to the establishment of these programmes. Purged. Destroyed.

If I was in charge of an educational institution and learned that a technology fostered “cognitive surrender” in young people, I’d like to think I would do everything in my power to keep it away from the young people who pay my institution to educate them. But I guess I’m just a weirdo.
It's pretty damn impressive how much ground Mayor Mamdani has been able to cover after only nine months in office on a wide range of basic quality-of-life issues in NYC. I was reading through the numbers this morning, and they're kinda astonishing. (thread)
