If you've never been to any kind of community music making event, I guarentee it will restore your faith in humanity. (And maybe inspire you to fairly compensate music educators 🙃)

It's paying off though. Most of the students who chose my medium/heavy AI track are discovering that the technology is extremely limited.

It's funny to me that this has basically led to a search for "is there a culture group that does not do this?" and so far the answer seems genuinely to be "no".

It drives me absolutely mad when people say the way to get elected is to … take popular positions. This is the genius of people who ran for class president on a platform of longer recess. Unless being elected is an end in itself, this answers nothing.

Two pieces of advice to aspiring academics: -Be specific. -Write in a straight line. Once you've mastered that, you're 80% of the way there.

I’m not a Trekkie but I’ve done enough basic research into the Star Trek fandom to know women basically invented it, and are why the show even continued to exist. This kind of writing is part of institutional sexism that denies women’s accomplishments and role in history and it infuriates me

I want social media to 1) let me keep up with far away friends and family 2) help me keep up with developments in my field and 3) be a place where I can share interesting things I read and read what other people find interesting.

"Jewish Americans told us —by a margin of nearly 3 to 1— that Trump manipulates antisemitism dishonestly, using it as an excuse to pause or cut university funding. Only about one-fourth of all Jews nationwide believe the president “truly cares about protecting Jewish students on college campuses.”"

I think it’s very interesting how emphatically these conversations are about inevitability—it’s time, it’s happening, like it or not, and in particular, a sense of: “You have to.” When it comes to treating an AI product as a person, I assure you that I do not have to. And you do not have to.

Every NYT or Atlantic campus culture screed should be prefaced by the author’s credentials, including the precise number of days since they last taught or studied in a college classroom. I am not kidding.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Mr Rogers (stay with me) said “look for the helpers.” Are these posters helping you to see the political landscape of our world clearly? Or are they intentionally causing you distress? Are they telling you that your situation is hopeless, that nothing can be done, that your power is gone?

American Jews are the single most pro-trans rights religious group in the US.

Meanwhile, the Tikvah Fund, which is getting millions of dollars to represent Jews on campus on behalf of the state, has an explicitly anti-trans agenda and denies trans identities.

This. A reputable news organization would not print this without providing additional detail. Again, we have a case of a major news organization abandoning basic journalistic standards when the reporting is about trans people.
