It's correct if you put -ai

Now more than ever, check out a physical novel from your public library and read it in long, big gulps. It's like meditating. It's like putting your bare feet on the grass. It will help heal you.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

Are you a historian of medicine? A U.S. historian? An AmWest historian?

yeah this thread (and its clips) def hit differently then they did when the season aired alright

I’m reading 1984, and I’m wondering how many years it will be until young people are no longer able to read it. Not being able to parse long sentences, keep track of ideas across multiple paragraphs and chapters, have enough general knowledge, vocabulary, and concepts to understand.

Fantastic reporting on this important issue. www.koco.com/article/ponc...

"[C]orporations only exist because states allow them to. Which means that every power a corporation has was given to it by the state. Hawaii just took one of those powers off the list—starting next year, corporations in Hawaii can no longer spend money on state + local elections." #ShareGoodNewsToo

I want my students to learn how to think without needing a computer to do it for them. I want them to learn how to slow down, that friction is good, and how to not get snookered by tech jargon. I want them to learn to be skeptical of technological panaceas and that the Luddites were right.

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

it's a violation of the NYT's own AI policy, and it's also not disclosed that AI was used to report the article. how many other articles at the @nytimes.com contain AI-generated misinformation that's gone unchecked? www.nytco.com/press/princi...

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

BREAKING: Appeals court blocks mail access to the abortion pill mifepristone, requiring it to be dispensed in person.

This means that many abortion providers who currently offer telehealth will likely continue, but they will have to offer misoprostol-only abortions. As I reported back in 2024, misoprostol-only abortions are safe and effective, but they take longer and can be more painful. It's an imperfect stopgap

Question for academics. Suppose you want to quote directly from a description of someone’s work that does not use that person’s preferred pronouns. Would you quote it with the error or correct it somehow? If the latter, how?

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Apr EITM Texas Tech U notifies its five universities of a new campus "Don't Say Gay" policy barring professors from discussing LGBTQ+ topics in core and lower-level courses, eliminating related fields of study, and requiring skipping textbook chapters on the topic. 1/2

"We, the undersigned, condemn Professor Robinson’s removal and demand that Texas State University reinstate him immediately. We also call for an academic boycott of Texas State University until such time as Professor Robinson has been reinstated..."

I thought I'd turned off all "A.i." bullshit in Zoom, but I got a pop up saying "This meeting is being transcribed" during a recent call. So I went into Settings on the web and found these turned on for some damn reason. Turned 'em off! Highly recommend you turn 'em off, too! Very annoyed!

No amount of AI literacy can protect us because the problem isn’t knowledge, or how to use the system, it’s that the system exists in a culture that has been radically structured around white supremacy and patriarchy and your precious autocomplete incorporates it into its operations.

I honestly think AI being popular with the worst people on earth (in addition to Boomers and Gen Xers) is gonna be what turns the tide. If your parents like something it isn't cool. And having CEOs whine about not enough people adopting AI makes it even less cool. Subcultural capital matters
