When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

All I want from the universe is for the term "engagement" to have a decent translation in Spanish.

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

In 2022, for example, Congress approved $46.5 billion specifically for IRS enforcement, so the agency could start forcing wealthy tax cheats to comply. By March 2025, Republicans had slashed that to just under $4 billion—a 91 percent decrease.

Last night I dreamt of the past. The past and I had a beer, we walked on pasts cities and past campuses, we hugged and we cried.

As they say, you reap what you saw. I am personally embracing all the schadenfreude that Trump's administration brings me.

'Corriere della sera' compara la economía italiana con la española y su conclusión es clara: "España es el nuevo motor de Europa"

Well this aged terribly

To all evil men of the world (and women, but let's be honest, the balance is def. men-tilted aka politicians): I wish you an afterlife where all you do is grade an infinite pile of AI-generated college papers. Which makes me wonder, what I did I do in my previous life to deserve this?!

A delayed response to a @caseynewton.bsky.social segment from Hard Fork last week: Casey’s right, I think, that the AI bubble is more like railroads than crypto. But we should also be thinking about broadband in ‘00 and housing in ‘08. davekarpf.beehiiv.com/p/what-sort-...

True. #WorldPressFreedomDay

Early career scholar here.... what do y'all think is the right amount of reviews one should be doing a month/ a year? Like, I know it is (a very important) part of our job, but when does it become too much?

The National Science Foundation is the main source of funding for basic sciences in the US. For decades, they have supported a scientific R&D ecosystem in the US that has been an engine of economic growth and competitive advantage. Destroying the agency is no less than an act of sabotage.

That beautiful feeling of having taught the last real class of the semester 😚 (nevermind all the assignments & exams left to grade, we are not talking about that)

Raise your hand if your mental health also raised since Orbán lost. 🤚 To clarify, I am not Hungarian. But seeing how populist autocratization is a contagious illness, I am hoping that it also works the other way around.

A funny read. "Once, a Cybertruck came rumbling toward me, and [...] I felt that something momentous was about to happen — that this collision of two notoriously obnoxious technologies might rip a hole in the fabric of space-time and send confetti raining down..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/m...

I've found I am glad Claude Code has usage limits because it forces me to actually do proper work when I am approaching the limit. First 75% used in lazy playing around, last 25% used in me working with some AI help here and there for coding doubts.

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty. "People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.” futurism.com/artificial-i...

My heart goes out to all the brave Hungarian journalists who've keep reporting on this Putinist monster and have lived to see his fall. Every European journalist owes a debt of gratitude to every one of them

OMG YES. The world needs more of this. Let the History pendulum start swaying back from the dark places it's taken us. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“For Orbán in Hungary, it took about four years, …for Erdoğan in Turkey and Modi in India, it took about 10 years to accomplish the suppression of democratic institutions that Trump has achieved in only one year” Based on new @vdeminstitute.bsky.social data www.theguardian.com/world/commen...

Just occurred to me, would love to know what Chalmers & Clark have to say about LLMs in the context of their "extended mind" idea...

Once I overcome my complicated set of emotions, I have a very humbling story to tell about how Claude Code gave me the wrong results and sent me down a rabbit hole where, among other things, I considered whether I should quite academia 🫠. Today is not that day, though. Too soon.

At least 153 dead after reported strike on school, Iran says www.bbc.com/news/article...

Crazy that we are asked to side with either those who just massacred +20k of their own civilians a couple months ago, or with those who just bombed hospitals and massacred +100 Iranian girls who were attending school. I refuse to support or excuse either flavor of terrorism.

So, ChatGPT thinks that Claude is a "he" (unclear what Claude thinks about ChatGPT as it prefers to call it by its first name instead) "Claude is right about the narrow point, but that does not mean his version is the universally better one. What he is right about..."

Noobie ICA question😋 If paper is listed in the top papers session but nobody has told you you got the award, and if the session has 6 papers but there are only 3 awards... does that mean that you were close but did not get the award? or are awards announced in situ at the session itself? #commsky

Not an expert on social media & youth studies, but here's a question for those who are: all the evidence that shows detrimental effects of not using it, come from a context where everybody is using it and just a few are not. How much can that be extrapolated to a world where nobody is? #CommSky

It is almost 11pm, and instead of watching Bridgerton I am tinkering with Claude Mode. I need an intervention.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

Drizzling and julienning and omg what parallel universe did I just enter.

Sick of this dystopian tech overlord men with no panache and bad haircuts enabling a pants shitting president and bald hitler wannabe trying to undo things that can’t be undone ass reality we are living. They are so tedious and venal. It’s galling.

I want to see a content analysis study on % headlines NYT articles with the word "Trump" in it, over time.
