Some academics will die on any hill. Looked up a few of the signatories and I'm not surprised. I won't be mourning the loss of an academic that thinks I'm biologically inferior to him. Enjoy starting your podcast, bro.

There are dozens of academics signing this open letter to defend the American Eugenicist Nathan Cofnas from the consequences of his own actions. They are calling him a โ€œwhistleblowerโ€

I have a cousin deployed here. We donโ€™t talk enough about the sacrifice enlisted folks make when they serve. Itโ€™s complicated. Their politics are their own and they cannot reject orders. My cousin didnโ€™t sign up for this form of service. I hope he can come home soon. Miss you, cuz. โค๏ธ

๐ŸšจEXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

FUCK!!!! AND I WORKED SO HARD TO DO THIS ๐Ÿ˜‚ Students are far smarter than we often give them credit for. Their beliefs are their own. My job is to open their minds to other perspectives but not to change their values.

New study shows that โ€” contra widely accepted narratives โ€” there is NO EVIDENCE that professors change their studentsโ€™ politics and make them more liberal through their teaching

So @devinsilvia.bsky.social and I published Episode 3 on AI data centers, water and electricity use, and how undefined "AI-Ready" seems to be. We're still figuring this out, but it was a fun time to talk with our colleague, Brian. podcasts.hellmo.space/@whatareweev...

Why We Can't Have Nice Things (with Prof. Brian O'Shea)

Show Notes Episode Title: Why Canโ€™t We Have Nice Things? Release date: August 6, 2026 Hosts: Danny Caballero, Devin Silvia Guest: Brian Oโ€™Shea, Michigan State University Quick Summary Danny and Devin sit down with Brian Oโ€™Shea โ€” computational astrophysicist and director of MSUโ€™s Institute for Cyber-Enabled Research (ICER) โ€” to talk about what it physically takes to run large-scale computing at a university: power, water, staff, and the things nobody budgets for. Then they turn the lens on the CSUโ€“OpenAI deal from Episode 02 and ask the question that story never asks: what does $16.9 million actually buy, and what do you own when the contract ends?
