Absolute travesty. Academic freedom simply does not exist at Texas Tech University.
Sometimes I feel sorry for men. Women read Elena Ferrante. Women read Crime and Punishment. Women read Dune. Women have long been expected to identify with male protagonists. Men have rarely been expected to identify with female ones. How limiting.
It’s going great

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

Wisst ihr noch bei diesem Netflix Film "Don't Look Up". Wo der Wissenschaftler im Fernsehen einen kompletten Breakdown hatte? Wir sind jetzt genau an dieser Stelle in der Story. Don't look up.
You will be surprised to learn that I do not believe there is a “moral imperative“ to teach educators about AI.
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 4d ago“Teaching educators about AI is a ‘moral imperative’, said Randi Weingarten, the AFT president.” “And without outside funding, it was a choice between taking big tech’s money or doing nothing, she said.”
Don't let anyone gaslight you. Tonight was a HUGE win and represents a seismic shift in Democratic politics.

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
It's demoralizing living in a nonstop Abuse-a-thon: we've had to learn the sordid details of so many men's abhorrent behavior; I mean this summer has been Graham Platner, Andrew Tate, Jared Leto, Max Miller, plus the horrific L.A. rape-murder of the child by the rapper, to name a few lowlights.
