2. You will be tempted to open the windows, since that’s your primary means of cooling. You don’t want to do that unless the air outside is cooler than the air inside. 3. When you do open windows, try to get cross ventilation. This pushes the stagnant air out.

Millions of Americans are finally learning the hard way that the reason they thought the government didn't do anything because nothing ever seemed to happen is because thousands of government workers were busy doing things that would ensure nothing would happen They were all fired by Elon Musk

Possibly got my VC to agree to change our AI policy to allow for discipline-specific bans so I’m calling that a win for today 💪

I have to get written permission from an Institute Review Board at the Office of Research to send out a survey asking if people know what an archivist does to ensure I'm doing no harm and doing so with informed consent.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Families are facing rising grocery prices at the same time that many of the most vulnerable are losing access to the nation’s largest food assistance program, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. ncnewsline.com/2026/06/19/r... @stateline.org

Today I noticed: the author of Patricia’s party planning book is Lucy Four. Lucifer! #WidowsBay

Translation is an art in itself.

As a proud former student of the Texas A&M University system, I believe that Dr. Peterson's actions are rooted in the essence of the Aggie core values: Loyalty, Integrity, Excellence, Leadership, Selfless Service, and Respect. I hope that one day TAMU will return to those values.

“I asked my genius wife who will receive no credit to take a look at it” is probably all of the founding documents

It really does. I'm still getting licensing income each year through ALCS from books and chapters I published 15 years ago: not enough for a holiday but definitely enough to buy a nice frock, or do a workshop, or a pay for a night at Gladstone's Library.

I said this on opening day and it still seems to be true: the Giants have a great lineup. As of today, they have 3 regular starters hitting over.300, and a fourth hitting just below that. They’ve got 6 with OPS just at or above .800. They need pitching and a new manager. Mainly the manager.

They did a hell of a job changing their image. They brought so much joy to the area. The tartan army donated a bunch of money to Hasbro in Providence. Apparently they have donated over $350k to different kids' charities in cities they visit!

The thing I don’t get (if taken in good faith) about the arguments for teaching students to use AI in every classroom, is why, if you know how to ride a bike, you’d need to be taught how to ride with training wheels?

“Nearly half of U.S. counties lack a practicing obstetrician or gynecologist. Rural hospitals have steadily closed labor and delivery units, citing financial losses, staffing shortages, and the high cost of malpractice insurance.”

Betty Simmons lived through the last days of slavery in Texas. In our magazine, Dionne Babineaux uncovers her story, recorded in 1938 by the Federal Writers' Project.

… a lil opossum munching away on my cliff bar in my pannier! 🤯😂 How did it get here?!

The thing that’s “human” about human art, artifacts, knowledge, etc, is *individual interpretation* that is both part of tradition and sometimes in collaboration or concert with others but always individual. Human texture is one life’s fingerprint. That’s what bot discourse & info-as-“art” loses.

Fort Worth Zoo welcomed two orphaned black bears in spring of 2025, Cinnamon and Raisin. They have a big pool in their Piney Woods habitat & a smaller pool inside their enclosure. This video captures the difference between the siblings: Raisin is calm, Cinnamon is chaos. (📷: Keeper Cynthia)

I curated a (mostly) exhaustive list of Juneteenth celebrations across the country. Chances are there’s one near you!

Well THIS is some good news!

No worker should wake up to find their face, voice or likeness being used without their consent. Congress should pass the NO FAKES Act and give people control over their own identity!

Ai companies and however they are financially buoyed are criminal enterprises.

If you think that criticizing objectivity means evidence should be irrelevant, you have no business being an humanist or any kind of academic.

I am *thrilled* to share that we are hiring again! A tenure track job in early modern literature! I’ve found Wesleyan a terrific place to work—help us spread the word? wesleyan.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/career...

“A major flu outbreak has sickened nearly 160 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas less than two months after Hegseth announced that U.S. troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated…In the weeks since…only about 40% of Air Force trainees have opted to take the vaccine” (Gift link)

Heads up. Listeria. Nothing to mess around with.

"For some psychologists, it's becoming more common to use AI systems to replace human thinking in research. That's a very risky choice based on misconceptions, warn Iris van Rooij and Olivia Guest" www.ru.nl/en/research/... @olivia.science @irisvanrooij.bsky.social

This is an example of the way AI is a crystallization (though not the origin) of a post-information epistemic culture that has taken an anti-documentarian turn where information no longer operates as evidence of the real world, and conversely can no longer tell when documents are evidence of fantasy

Even fascism is no match for the All-Conquering Power and Holy Terror of the Soul-Destroyer, the Word that Breaks Wills and Slows Time — the Environmental Impact Statement.

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

"an audit by Lighthouse Reports of public data on the government’s chosen AI provider shows that its tech misclassified more than a third of 16-year-olds as adults and, in some tests, was shown to give the wrong assessment in 70 per cent of cases" www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Fantastic threaded discussion 👇

This is one of many reasons why designing societies around cars was a mistake. It's not a path to follow, it's something that good civic leaders are now trying to undo. These guys don't understand *anything* about society, yet governments are allowing them to shape our futures with their ignorance.

listening to the latest from @techwontsave.us and despite years of following the AI bubble at this point, this anecdote from a nurse about a major hallucination of their AI scribe completely stunned me. we have to resist and regulate, immediately. this cannot become the new norm.

Training on copyrighted material may or may not be a problem for AI companies. Illegally obtaining the data is definitely a problem www.gadgetreview.com/millions-of-...

One thing I learned when I was just out of college and watching 6-8 hours of Fox News a day for my research job at Media Matters: Ingesting hours of propaganda on a daily basis changes you, no matter how smart you think you are. If you don't notice the changes, that just makes you an easier mark.

“nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate” BRO.

Sorry, I think I’m late to this: are the Yankees now miming playing the flute for their on-base celebration?

Younger people are the biggest users of AI but also the most skeptical. 48% of 18 to 29-year-olds say AI will have a negative impact on society over the next 20 years, while 39% of 30 to 49-year-olds say the same. Among those 50+ just 37% say AI will have a negative impact over the next 20 years.

“I feel useless, therefore you are,” is a condition, not an argument

The Nobel laureate behind Never Let Me Go and Remains of the Day has announced his next novel.

This also means that the GOP has still not flipped any legislative seat anywhere in the country since the fall of 2024. Dems have flipped roughly 30 in that period.

Look at what the fossil fuel industry has done to our politics, warping the minds of citizens into supporting its financial interests in the name of "freedom" and compare this to the power the tech bros can build with AI and its unfathomable ability to spread propaganda and indoctrinate people.

The awful thing is that we teach this to young students too; this notion that everything can and should be measured and that there is nothing that cannot be quantified. It’s not a useful way to conceive of the bodymind in all its states
