Wanna work in women’s sports? ⛹️‍♀️ Wanna help bring the first & only daily women’s sports show to people’s ears every day? 👂 “Good Game with Sarah Spain” is hiring a new producer! 🎙️ Apply or send to qualified friends! 👇🏻 careers.acast.com/jobs/6624146...

Multiple scientific papers related to this product now carry expressions of concern (a step towards a retraction), and the claim that altitude is associated with concussions in the NFL (whose effects this collar allegedly replicated) have been completely debunked.

The Groypers are on a long march through the institutions and right-wing Jews are way too complacent about the idea that it’ll be fine because these people also hate Muslims.

In the last week I've had two different people tell me independently in a work context a troublesome thing they've noticed among young people (roughly <25) is that they give up very quickly on problems. I HAVEN'T noticed this in my classroom, however. Have other educators or managers seen this?

OK look "I love Hitler" sounds bad but YOU try praising Yankees starter Cam Schlittler through autocorrect.

A defining feature of this admin is attacking as antisemitic everything they don’t like while constantly engaging in rank antisemitism.

Despite all the uncertainty right now in American Higher Ed, our department is hiring! jobs.calpoly.edu/en-us/job/55... Happy to answer any questions you have - it's a wonderful place to work. 🥰 (Note: this is a tenure-track TEACHING position, not a good fit for research-only goals.)

Oh wow, you love Hitler? Stop the presses. Call everyone. Should we throw a parade? Should we open up a new undersecretary position?

Who cares if he takes your questions when he's just going to lie (or make stuff up if he really has dementia), anyway? That's not a loss.

Look I don't love their heavy-handed tactics, but you can see the sincere concerns about antisemitism on college campuses from Republicans.

Is this a good time to remind everyone (as the article covers at length) that there is effectively no regulation by the FDA or any other government body of any supplement? And that the definition of "supplement" is very, very wide?

This is why I continue to bring my son to every protest where there's not a preexisting threat of regime violence. It's really hard to make people scared of a crowd full of toddlers.

Once they leave their positions and return to academia, it is probably worth remembering articles like this when considering how to interpret the work of Makary, Prasad, and their ilk. It sounds very much like they're operating as commissars for RFK Jr. rather than sober scientists.

This is a genuine surprise to me but I guess "AOC wants to outlaw hamburgers" was ALSO a confession of an accusation?

Truth, reconciliation, things of that nature.

This is also why I now tell students on day 1 of my statistical thinking class that the course is now political. It's not my choice. There's no way around it.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt: “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist." www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Thankfully, some of yesterday's CDC firings have been rescinded. But this should be a major scandal, not business as usual in this shitshow of an administration. It's either spectacular incompetence or an effort to make even politically untouchable positions feel precarious to those in them.

For those keeping score at home this would the second time the private sector business geniuses and Silicon Valley wizards have fired a bunch of CDC's EIS officers only to say "whoopsie doodle." This must be what they mean when they tell folks to go to get more productive private sector jobs.

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

There must be some mistake, I read 50 Atlantic articles about how RFK Jr just wants to help Americans eat more vegetables

Are they...are they starting to actually get it?

Imagine how embarrassing changes like this are going to look in 3-5 years

People need to get the fuck over COVID, man. If you're still mad about it: sorry, grow up. Because this is the result. Unfixable vandalism of the entire health apparatus in the United States.

I do like the idea of making it an enormous pain in the ass for parents not to vaccinate their kids.

Ok cool so the President is demented enough he's just applying the same number to a bunch of different stuff now?

Writing my statistical thinking midterm.

I've heard some say - and I totally respect it - that this sort of rhetoric makes them less likely to bring their kids to protests. But it only steels my resolve. It's a lot harder to paint families like this than a bunch of young people. That's why it's important we show up. And bring snacks.

A master class from MIT in responding to authoritarian overreach: Your “premise … is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone. … America’s leadership in science & innovation depends on independent thinking & open competition for excellence.

Four cheers for MIT. orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

It is frankly strange to be this obsessed with college if you no longer attend one and do not work in education. More people in legacy media need to be told that.

We're hiring 🎉 Do you want to work at the cutting edge of football analytics, elevating the Women's game, or do you know someone who might? More information / application details here: careers.arsenal.com/jobs/6550595...

Well, it happened @defector.com. A student finally asked me why I start all my course videos by screaming "WE'RE BACK! WE'RE BACK!"

these people are actually out of their fucking minds and im so sick of being told we need to pretend otherwise

The degree to which so many otherwise smart people are capable of deluding themselves into not facing the most obvious conclusions imaginable is a capital P Problem.

Man I'm at best like 1/4 joking when I say there should be a screener for people interested in working in Dem politics: "How many pro or amateur wrestling shows have you watched, and when was the last one?" And if the answers are <5 shows and >10 years ago, shred the application.

Elon Musk is a great visionary and deserves our admiration and respect.

I'm glad the 6 right-wing Catholics on the Supreme Court are here to ensure the President's right to do this.

Aren't all these people up in arms about how many times their kids get poked with needles? And now they want to increase that number for...reasons. Child murderers, pure and simple. Respect their dedication to their craft, I guess.

A Tua 2-minute drill. The most tense time in football. Will it end in an INT? 3 consecutive sacks? A bad snap through his hands? Nobody knows! Endless possibilities!

We need to urgently stop viewing "discourse" on social media as some kind of reflection of human sentiment. Too many bots. Too much outrage farming. Too ripe for manipulation. Networks of (mostly) identifiable peers are largely immune from this. You really should ignore everything else. 2 cents.

it would be so cheap, comparatively, to stand up a bunch of local newspapers that both do actual journalism and pump broadly liberal and pro democratic themes into local discourse they would lose money but you could really work on making them lose money sustainably

Ok, but what if there's a nuclear bomb and the only way to get your AI to disarm it is...

Good News! Go get em! Assistant professor fired for Charlie Kirk post sues Clemson University www.thestate.com/news/politic...

Many American Jews sharply disapprove of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza, with 61 percent saying Israel has committed war crimes and about 4 in 10 saying the country is guilty of genocide against the Palestinians, according to a Washington Post poll.

eg: if you 'save the university' by making it so the bio department says that Tylenol causes autism, and the Poli sci dept says trump got more votes in 2020, etc etc you have not saved the university in a way that matters. it's not just the buildings and people, there is an actual mission there.

How many Peanut Punches at the 1 have we seen this season!?

Stipulating in advance that I probably agree with everyone’s critiques of Newson: This is the way. Make it clear in advance that compliance has a price too.

I’ve been looking around for the most credulous mid-campaign piece about Trump’s obviously fatuous Project 2025 disavowal, and I think it might be this one from Politico. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
