everybody surprised that universities would trumpet their award season connection to a professor they essentially fired really didn't take the lesson from the decades of them trading on radical traditions of protest they tried like hell to crush at the time & have all but succeeded in crushing today

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng : My wife: Can you read our baby a book? Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone. My wife: But then it won't be in your voice. Me: I can train a voice model. Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

Today is Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada. We remember those we have lost. We honor those taken from us by the residential school system and we honor those who survived, their families and communities. We will never forget and we will carry them with us.

illustration for truth and reconciliation day. the illustration features a wolf looking forward, standing with its pup who is also looking forward. there is a circle behind them with an eight point star dreamcatcher and three feathers. the words "EVERY CHILD MATTERS" are featured on the side of the circle

Think I asked this a while back but it anyone has any reading on auctioning the goods of the dead in 16th- and 17th-century London, and/or the role of bellmen and criers around deaths and auctions, I'd be very grateful for recommendations!

“That the university is under attack and that the university is complicit with the very terms of engagement that place it under attack should not be seen as a contradiction.” well goddamn, this is an essay.

What gets me is the woman who wasn’t able to finish her degree. The one who isn’t sure if she can. The one who started a stable job and had to leave because of this behavior. How many brilliant women are stifled by the men coddled by their institutions?

UW-Madison professor engages in multiple sexual relationships with students, disparages another over their sexual orientation and appearance, creates hostile environment, and department leadership covers it all up. And in true “pass the trash” fashion, moves on to ASU once forced to resign.

'Anthropic described the project as “our effort to disruptively scan all the world’s books” in an internal memo, which noted “we do not want it to be known that we are pursuing this project”.'

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
