Sounds more like guilt fatigue. "I just want to walk down the street and not have to confront the natural consequences of the unfettered capitalism that keeps me financially comfortable."

Don't see any HS but Western Canada listed, but it says several. Hope there were some Lords involved.

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now. In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

#OnThisDay, 4 Oct 1936, women join the Battle of Cable Street, in London's East End, protesting against a fascist march through the area. Of the 79 protestors arrested, eight are women, including Blanche Edwards (pictured). #WomenInHistory #OTD #History #WomensHistory #BritishHistory 🗃️ 1/2

Tim Martin's sentencing that was to take place in a few minutes is being delayed. Please hold Tim, his stoicism & righteous actions for us & the planet, in your hearts.

Rowan's own college admission story is: he was pre-law at Cornell but didn't like the coursework so he called Penn and they said sure and put him into the Wharton undergrad program. Maybe that explains why he thinks university admissions are a joke: his was. web.archive.org/web/20240314...

Columbia canceled my class on race and media, but I'm teaching the people anyway. Oct. 5 is the *last day* to register for my online live + recorded classes on Race, Media & International Affairs! We have more than 500 students enrolled. Let's gooo! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital. “He has Constitutional rights.” “No.” ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

“To totally eschew the mask in an era of unending COVID waves is to believe that burying fear is the equivalent of burying what we fear. It is the strange alchemy of toxic positivity, the belief that belief is reality and reality is nothing.” www.thegauntlet.news/p/fear-itself

Once again, everyday North Carolinians are leading some of the nation’s most important fights for voting rights. Watauga County has a plan to win with @commoncause.org

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care. We can't allow that to happen.

Sign it, folks!

📻👄 Guess who’s on the radio? I’m in the latest episode of Radiolab on voice radiolab.org

Two months before Calvin Alexander’s parole hearing date, he was told he was no longer eligible. Why? An algorithm had deemed the nearly blind 70-year-old, who uses a wheelchair, a “moderate risk,” barring him from speaking to the parole board. (Published April w/ @veritenews.org)

Proud to be a member of @aaup.org tonight! While my school chapter is not a negotiating body, I have encouraged colleagues to join us for this very reason--our dues go to very important work for all of us.

One reason to support @aaup.org in this case is that they are not Harvard the institution, even as they are defending Harvard faculty and student rights. AAUP will not stop if the administration and Harvard leadership come to an agreement that still undercuts those rights.

Once again, it is *faculty*—not administrators—who brought this case and won. Including UC Faculty Association chapters of the AAUP.

Some big news: the University of Birmingham is launching a new MA in Gender & Sexuality. It's interdisciplinary, with a focus on combining theory & practice. It's going to be amazing. I'm convening it: message or email with questions. www.birmingham.ac.uk/study/postgr... @unibirmingham.bsky.social

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

betrayed by admin pumping school (often public) $ into grifter bubble corporate welfare, disgusted by colleagues shamelessly cheating - BUT buoyed by the students, who still want to learn, with their own big brains

It is, far and away, the most challenging thing I’ve encountered since entering the academy. And that is saying a lot. I might be working on this but I keep putting it aside because I’m not medicated enough to describe how demoralizing it all is.

Lol, I was going to joke that they probably conducted the AI analysis using a photograph only (which would be absurd given that paintings demand first-hand study, examination of materials, support, etc), and then I visited the AI co.’s website & saw this on the front page:

public goods "47% have “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in higher ed institutions, w a net positive rating of 33—up 13 points since 2023. more confidence in higher ed than in the police (44%), the medical system (38%)+large tech companies (25%)" www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t...

It is always key to remember that none of this would be possible without the Supreme Court and congressional leadership acceding to virtually all that Trump wants, as I have written. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-is-s...

BREAKING: At least 82 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks throughout Gaza since dawn, medical sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/570it8

The fundamental problem with the HBR-business/tech genre of AI studies is they all start from the premise that "learning" = "transfer of content" and thus "learning" is measured by "quantifiable restatement of said content," and that's just...not how learning works

It's wild, but unsurprising, that the NYT could make a retrospective of an Afro-Cuban artist into a story about white achievement.

In July, reports emerged that Blair’s thinktank worked on developing a postwar Gaza plan that included creation of “Trump Riviera” and a manufacturing zone named after Elon Musk. The project was led by Israeli business people using financial models developed by Boston Consulting Group
