The primary reason I desk reject systematic reviews and meta-analyses is because researchers either do not conduct quality assessments (e.g., no risk of bias assessments in quant research), or do not mention the quality assessment findings in their discussion. 1/1

Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia It's been a year & people tell me they've changed their mind, feel safer now to sign, etc. So I'm sharing it again for them. We're almost at 2k & anybody from anywhere can add their names. openletter.earth/open-letter-...

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

RFK Jr. asked the National Institute of Health to dedicate $5 billion (!) to finding a link between vaccines and autism. "That would have dedicated more than a tenth of the NIH’s annual budget to investigating a hypothesis already refuted by scientists worldwide."

I also remember when I spoke to a senior colleague who was convinced that Google would soon solve all questions regarding cross-linguistic variation in child-directed speech. She didn't believe that Google has zero data on child-directed speech in probably the vast majority of languages.

📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.

I’m looking to speak with people who are resisting the erosion of human thought, creativity, skill, and relationship through AI. 🧵

This week, Grammy-winning singer SZA, née Solána Imani Rowe, shared that she had received a formal autism diagnosis. It may help more Black women and girls see themselves in a community that often overlooks them. https://bit.ly/4wyEgxP

SZA’s autism diagnosis is a familiar story for many autistic Black women

Black women and girls on the spectrum have long been under-diagnosed and overlooked. A diagnosis arrives late for many of them — or not at all.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

In Schools of Ed there's a tacit expectation to teach prior to applying to PhD programs, & having a master's degree is often required. So people are late 20's when they start, mid-30's when they finish. Its also risky to have kids pre-tenure, so I guess its either never have children or be a man.

Having kids in grad school comes with more costs for women than men. "Citation scores for women who started to have children before the age of 30 were 14% lower than comparable men and 21% less than women who waited until their late 30s to start having children." www.science.org/content/arti...

As Pride Month approaches an end, let's consider the intersection of conversion therapy and applied behavior analysis (ABA).

What's funny is how the AI bros keep insisting that everyone who is skeptical of AI are just some kind of purist, Luddite, or simply backwards when for the most part it's that we've tried it, critically examined it, and concluded that it's mostly lies and garbage that will damage our work.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.
