Do I know anyone on here who went to a British boys boarding school -preferably the elite kind- within the last 20 years? If that doesn't describe you then retweet this until somebody it does describe sees this.

iSTock is an AI generator, if you couldn't tell from the abhuman forearm joints, dress-shirt-with-camo-blazer combo, peculiarly debranded ideological baseball cap, liberal cat decal, and novel approach to pouring champagne

We all can commit to protect young, promising, and vulnerable colleagues against sexual harassment and power abuse, current Chair of the International Contact Research Network Prof. Stefania Paolini says. contactresearch.substack.com/p/icrn-respo...

You now need to opt-out of letting Google use your G-Mail to train its AI. Go to your general settings and scroll to Smart Features: Unclick it. Done.

There is already a party that is giving bigots everything they want; they've got it all locked up. Anyone so devoted to their bigotries that they hold their votes contingent over it is going to vote for that party. Differentiate to win. Don't differentiate to lose. This is very simple marketing.

I imagine, if you were trying to detect manual fraud of scientific data, the grid would look the same but in reverse, with the fraudster trying unconsciously to avoid even-looking figures

This—on my former university, department, and advisor—is harrowing but required reading for all social psychologists. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?

In our rejoinder, we argue 1) Dark terminology isn't used responsibly as BL et al. claim, 2) the term can be replaced with a more sensible and scientific one, 3) data support our position (Stanton et al., 2025), and 4) popularity ≠ importance. @davidchester.bsky.social @drlynam.bsky.social

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics. He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

did not expect the site of Thomas Beckett’s murder to be memorialized in a fashion that is quite so fucking metal

GOP faction 1: "the Democrats are Nazis" GOP faction 2: "no, actually ..."

I'll never forget @stephenshapiro.bsky.social's land acknowledgment in Heidelberg, stating that the University is housed (in part) in buildings stolen from Jews. Obviously not the same thing, but seeing the form deployed in a new context reinforced its original function (at least for me).

People will really be like "Oh you believe in Land Acknowledgements? That pales in comparison to my strategy of reaping the benefits of settler colonialism and doing nothing about it"--Though to be fair they never actually do anything about it.

Since I'm reflecting on land acknowledgements at the moment, here's an opportunity to share one of my favourite, short pieces of Indigenous satire. walkingeaglenews.com/2017/12/19/l...

Some crazy knowledge here that connects the dots from a few familiar cases like magpie, jackdaw and tomtit into a whole galaxy of forgotten jocular bird names.

"Mark my words, one wrong step in this town’ll land you in a whole heap of social services."

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The thing about being a woman and navigating the world, is that you are never safe from being sexually harassed by strangers even if you are a freaking head of state. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Still thinking about Zohran’s full-throated defense of immigration and how long i’ve waited for it. No bullshit about border security or “legal” immigrants but just unabashed support for immigrants. How many people feel so much more seen today? I know I do. 1/

Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works. I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Now this is weird. A whole job lot of "realistic photographer statues" just went up on Craigslist, whatever those are.

Kids today. So easy to understand. The 23 Skidoo generation has finally passed. A new prime number takes the stage.

Did you want students and schools to adopt calculators when those first came out? How about statistical packages for data analysis instead of doing everything by hand? Sure. Would your answer be different if the calculators and stat packages had 30-50% error rates? Should we push AI in schools?

Tired: moral dumbfounding Wired: *moral* dumbfounding

i'm sure the "faculty forum" on "reducing burnout" and "enhancing resilience" will include helpful things like "join your faculty union" and "here's a bucket of money" and "we hired a bunch of new full time faculty to reduce the teaching load across the university"

take this quiz then tell me you can win over low-info "moderates" on policy it's just vibes all the way down

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
