Youth-quakes in politics are rare, big money usually wins, Israel has been a third-rail issue in NYC politics for a long time but maybe not any more; and this is going to inspire lots of other young people to get more politically active. theconnector.substack.com/p/six-notes-...

@laurigoldkind.bsky.social DOGE has broken into and shut down USIP. Please reach out to private independent nonprofits in your network, with information about how to plan for such emergencies. I'm concerned not only about how to respond on the spot, but how to secure confidential records offsite.

This is a good starting thesis - focus on public administration - and has some good ideas but misses a lot of key points, and mixes up some stuff. Its a good provocation to get the conversation going. Some thoughts 🧵

Wiped out or fired up? ❤️‍🔥Thank you so much to @matteowong.bsky.social for writing about us!

I actually went to the store today and stocked up. I ain’t buying shit all weekend.

Sent a newsletter. Might regret it later buttondown.com/justenoughin...

@bryan-victor.bsky.social We called this in out TikTok paper. Let’s add some discernment to the conversation and note the real harms human therapists can enact too See paper here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/h...

Really nervous about what could happen with a Ramaswamy governorship 😣

Definitely. I think lots of people are turning to LLMs for mental health. Cost effective and always available in addition to not shaking musical instruments in your face.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

it is 2025, we have robots across the solar system and i have a super computer on my wrist, in my pocket, and on slate... yet, i don't have a word processing app that can hold a table and do mathematical calculations/equations. and y'all think AI will do medicine?

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

Louder, for those in the back: ‼️ Tariffs are import taxes that are ultimately paid by American consumers — NOT the exporting country. If you don’t understand that yet, you soon will. ‼️

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

Academic workers across the country are organizing to call on our congressional representatives on Thursday, 1/30, at 3pm ET / 12pm PT to demand these restrictions be lifted immediately. There will be a training over zoom at the beginning of the event. Join us! form.jotform.com/250226137228...

Yup

Can’t we all agree that if you buy one ticket you can’t take up three seats #commute

We need to pay attention to this now before it’s too late.

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

it’s mad to me how big tech and AI companies dumps their trash into the world and it is up to everyone else (academics, civil society, educators, regulators, etc) to deal with it…. to assess the merit/usefulness, clean up their mess, and come up with alternatives

Wait a minute. You mean to say that we don’t need to blanket the earth with data centers and coal & gas plants to maybe arrive at a future where we can wave a magical AGI wand to make all of the consequences of that go away? Yes. This is a false trade off. Let that sink in. 16/
