the best part of post-tenure academia has been having the career space to slow down. the damage done by the contraction of tenure track positions + poor security/working conditions of non tenure track faculty + quantification of academic contributions is incalculable

Let's annotate. 1. Begins with a CLEAR statement laying out WHO the culprit is and what he is doing. 2. Specifically says what he thinks needs to happen next. 3. Calls out his own institution. THIS IS THE BASEMENT in terms of a response & his colleagues are underground.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

The left is not "missing out" on AI. It's winning the argument. Americans worry about AI and dislike tech CEOs. They're mobilizing against data centers. They support regulation, even refusal. Calls for the left to embrace AI are an effort to change the terms of the debate in Silicon Valley's favor.

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

An interesting side note to this story: According to this, this incident went viral because the kid who got punched was wearing Meta smart glasses at school, for which he (1) also got suspended and (2) made himself rather awkwardly famous.

I sign off on this except I wanna clarify one thing: this is not "human nature," this is specifically how authoritarians feel. like, in the Bob Altemeyer, "high right-wing authoritarian score" sense: the desire to be "the norm" is an authoritarian impulse not everyone feels equally.

It's pretty fucking embarrassing -- damning, even -- that a U.S. scandal driven by U.S. elites is visiting consequences upon people in other countries while those most responsible for it continue to hold positions of the absolute highest power in America. Trash country.

Look, all you need to know about the situation is that Green Day sang "American Idiot" at the opening and explicitly told ICE to quit their jobs at their show on Saturday and Bad Bunny said a bunch of stuff in Spanish and alllll the headlines and angry posts are about Bad Bunny. You know why.

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call āsymbolic compliance.ā Thatās when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

seems like the kind of piece that should contain an acknowledgement that other people saw what this guy missed but no that isn't how establishment media types roll so it's just open contempt for people who saw clearly when he did not. welcome to the party, you don't have to be a dick about it.
