Just once I would love to see the male journalists in the White House press corps tell Trump to his face to shut the fuck up with this misogynistic crap. The women shouldn’t be expected to do it on their own.

NO. NO. NO. We just did this 2 weeks ago. This is AI slop. White Aurora is not a thing. Red, green, purple & blue. That's it.

Me, at 14:50 left in the third: Yeah I think we’ll have time to watch something else after Me, five minutes later: …oh no

I just want to point out to any game three Knicks ticket holders that “JEFF-REY EP-STEIN” reads out beautifully to a classic five clap crowd chant

TIL that Linkin Park is back (❗️) with a female lead vocalist (‼️)

Hello I'm looking to speak with an architectural historian for a piece I'm working on. Maybe a longshot asking on here but worth a try.

This is how I found out, and it was a good way 😔

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

Ah yes, the "Thdpsssps"

This is a really cool piece on how Alan Alda has funded an initiative to help researchers better communicate their findings to the public through learning improv skills.

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

The original sea lion comic was posted on Wondermark TEN YEARS AGO, if you can believe it. To celebrate (???), here are some hi-res reaction images:

if i seem laid back and relaxed to you, it’s an elaborate ruse - i actually carry the kind of tension that makes massage therapists and other health professionals say “wow” and “oh no”

🚨 BREAKING: A federal appeals court has ruled, in a 2-1 decision, that the Trump-Hegseth transgender military ban is likely unconstitutional, finding that the policy appears to be driven by a “bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group” and is “both arbitrary and based upon animus.” 1/3

Y’all should read the EULA for Canvas when you have a moment.

Just 15 years ago Aaron Swartz died as a result of MIT's overzealous regard for the sanctity of their libraries. He'd be turning 40 this year.

Don't be sorry, they offer the best nap you will ever have AND are an incredibly effective tool at helping you not die from cancer, everyone eligible go get this done

I am not trying to dunk here and also if library workers had been truly listened to in the last 10-15 years or so, the libraries being in danger would not be coming as a surprise to so many academics. Perhaps they would not be in as much danger, even.

Two days ago a sitting US Senator was pepper sprayed for protesting ICE and it didn’t even become national news.

People need to read this. Urgently.

if you want to share that blue octopus pic/footage, find a reputable source like SciAm. not some random content theft/engagement farming account with dodgy caption and no accountability.

i cant believe tom steyer is the first dem politician (that ive seen) to proudly and forcefully make this correct and obvious counter argument to the bigotry but im glad he did

Some of us just don't like getting colds

Reminder... My late Dad, a veteran, would noticeably cringe when someone told him "Happy Memorial Day". He had fellow soldiers/friends who died in combat. He did not.

PSA for YouTube Creators! Just wanna share this in case you don't want Google to have access to remix your YouTube shorts with GenAI using Gemini! YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLED. Here is what it's doing and how to opt out of said option if you don't want your shorts to be remixed with AI.

As a result, we can access our written past only by paying for ChatGPT's mangled misunderstanding of it. But we can't see the original writing on the Internet Archive, a free online library without ads or algorithmic feeds. Do we really want to starve a library to feed billionaires? (3/3)

I am increasingly of a mind to swaddle myself in a portable Faraday cage suit and walk into the woods forever

Is anyone else getting tired of witnessing the most astoundingly blatant corruption in American history happening in plain sight and almost half the country cheering it on, overwhelmingly to their own detriment?

"Fake citations have turned into a nightmare for research librarians, who by some estimates are wasting up to 15 percent of their work hours responding to requests for nonexistent records that ChatGPT or Google Gemini alluded to." open access link: archive.ph/qt59c 2/🧵

This is scholarly misconduct. We have seen university presidents removed from their positions for far less. Why are we saying it's just an editing error if "it was AI" The lack of accountability is astonishing

The entirety of David Attenborough 1979 series "Life on Earth" is free on The Internet Archive and man does it hold up archive.org/details/life...

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

Yeah, it’s always quite something to see a research paper that apparently cites a study by me that I never did! AI is destroying the medical research record, but clearly pleasing our tech overlords is way, way more important than caring about health research & improving people’s lives!

To be very clear, I'm not trying to use the AI — I'm just trying to read the court documents. It's clear that the AI is programmed to replace offensive language. But what does that mean when it's being used to summarize historical documents? What happens when people rely on the summary?

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Every time I teach the MOVE bombing, students are shocked. And when I teach the aftermath involving an anthropologist who hoarded some of the remains and used them as teaching tools, they are even more shocked. And I teach in Pennsylvania. Even some students from Philly are unaware of this history
