Got a paper accepted into AEJMC and one of our reviews is completely AI generated. Beyond pathetic. At least they gave us a good score 🙄

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

"And in what way does firing people from the Post make people more likely to pay for the Post?" That obvious follow-up question is strictly forbidden under capitalism.

Solidarity with the research chairs dealing with the new paper management system.

seems like jared polis thought this would make him look like an enlightened and humane centrist instead of a dumbass

Hey, universities, maybe you could try inviting graduation speakers who *aren't* actively hostile to your fundamental mission and basic purpose? Or at the very least, people from industries your faculty isn't suing for intellectual property theft?

One really fascinating point here (among many) is that a peril of organic-looking PR is less that people will be tricked into liking a band, and more that some journalists can be suckered into treating people/phenomena as massively influential when they probably are not!

Love this for them #subnautica #videogames #gaming

Nothing like a coming-of-age piece of media to remind you that genre focuses on white folks

Uhhh, starting to feel relieved our semester schedule was moved up a week and got my grades posted last weekend…

This week, Donald Trump asked a child, "You think you could take me in a fight?" So we at @today.yougov.com obviously polled Americans on the topic. Our results:

I am 100% positive these listings are from the legendary Game Informer vault being strip-mined for memes, in case you needed an excuse to throw up today

The problem with politicians is not that they talk like professors, it's that they talk like managers and consultants.

As a professor, I take offense There is nothing clearer than the way I speak to students. Stop attacking us

Finally, a major American newspaper whose editorial board is courageous enough to stand up for the rights of big tech companies.

Well this took a turn. The author, seeing the increased labor AI creates for editors, suggested that more of the labor be performed by—wait for it—AI! This is how HR depts operate—using automated screening on application materials. So f-ing anti-intellectual. If you hate academic writing just say so

AI produces MORE editorial labor, not less. “[To weed out slop] the journal doubled its deputy editors from 6 to 11 & nearly doubled its sr editors from roughly 30 to 60. All of this is volunteer labor, unpaid academics donating time to maintain scientific quality.“ www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

“Use AI to brainstorm but not to write.” “Use AI to help you outline but not to write.” These are commonly proposed as “ethical” ways for undergrad students to use AI, but I’m sorry, brainstorming & outlining are just as integral to writing as the actual construction of sentences.

“Everybody needs to turn down the rhetoric.” -supporters of a guy who threatened to destroy an entire civilization of 90 million people

This is clearly the Post staff who are addicted to Twitter trying to nudge Elon to tone it down. It's been clear for years exactly what his views "about race" are.

No idea who this reporter is but if that's what you're seeing ... maybe write that, rather than waiting for TMZ? nymag.com/intelligence...

Diversity, Equity and Italians.

As I argue, it’s never enough. No amount of conservative shifts of editorial policy or pandering to the right will stop them from believing the press is against them. They don’t want a voice, they want control. cup.columbia.edu/book/making-...

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

THE WAR IS OVER! POST GAZETTE IS NONPROFIT OWNED! A HEARTY GET FUCKED TO THE BLOCK FAMILY.

With 60% of the vote in, the Hungarian opposition is projected to win 135 seats in parliament--which would give it a supermajority to overturn Orban's changes to the constitution. Incredible result for the Hungarian people.

Orban's regime isn't just a Trump ally--he's the model for Trump's regime. Orban created a hybrid regime with the appearance of democracy, rampant corruption, stealing of elections, and the absence of the rule of law. His loss would be a setback for the project of authoritarianism worldwide.

Orbán has conceded. Péter Magyar said on FB: “Viktor Orbán just called me on the phone and congraulated us on our victory."

The press trying so hard to sell a product few people want he might as well change his name again to A.I. Vance.

They should have gotten Will Smith to open the hatch so he can tell them “Welcome to Earf.”

Every cent of taxpayer money allocated to ICE should be given to NASA instead.

It's honestly kinda funny that the only AI slop videos that look any decent is propaganda from Iran that uses LEGOs. And it only looks good because LEGO figurines have more static faces, no hands, and everything is already plastic looking anyway. Burning the planet to a crisp is finally paying off.

SILENCE PREPARE FOR THE END

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

My manifesto:

More than 3,000 meatpacking workers in Greeley, Colorado, have been on strike since mid-March, the first major labor strike in the U.S. meatpacking industry since 1985.

Earlier this month, we published statistics about the detainees held in ICE's Colorado "hold rooms." Today, we are looking beyond the datapoints and sharing the individual stories of the people behind them -- 2,800 of them. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/excl...

Over at the newsletter I wrote about the unholy scourge that is "CEO said a thing!" journalism:

this is the second "how I use AI as a journalist" piece in the last 24 hours and both are entirely disqualifying for those involved, embarrassing stuff

This is not journalism. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Man…when I was coming up as an investigative reporter at Fortune, the writing and editing process was grueling (and rewarding!). What an embarrassment this is for a brand that meant so much to us.

This reads like a press release. Word for word. You don't need to just copy and paste every sales pitch that comes to your inbox as news

this is the fourth time a company has said they'd either send openai billions or get openai to send them billions that's never actually come through - AMD's 6GW of data centers, SK Hynix/Samsung's 900k of DRAM wafers, NVIDIA's $100bn, and Broadcom's 10GW - none of them are real!

Dying of laughter because ICE is hiring Steve from Resident Evil Code Veronica to patrol our airports.
