UN staff were finally granted access to El Fasher by the RSF and report it is largely empty of civilians, indicating the massacres there were as bad as if not worse than feared www.reuters.com/world/africa...

THIS THIS THIS. ALL OF THIS THIS is why faculty resist technological strategies for teaching. There is no engaging with Edtech without this context

Did you get something really *nice* for Christmas? Are you saving it? STOP Eat it. Slather yourself in it. Spray it on a random wfh Tuesday. Use it next time you have a meal. Make up an occasion and use it. Whatever it is don't hoard it until it's near its use by date or too precious.

"Protecting" Nigerian Christians was a nakedly political move. If he wanted to save lives he could save 600,000 by reinstating USAID without firing a shot. This was not a Christian act, this was a play for Christian votes in the face of massive moral and ethical failure.

There’s no pitch for genAI in the classroom that doesn’t boil down to “it’s everywhere,” or that takes education as more than job training, or, consequently, that actually argues for genAI as a tool that has a distinct function in education. It’s not educators who have their heads in the sand here.

A+ advice

I don't disagree with Jeff's point at all, but the fact Miller doesn't think of that is one of the many bits of proof that his problem is with people of color. This isn't about immigration. It's racism.

The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word? "I can't carry it for you, but I can Fucking carry you"

Not sure I understand why the Trump administration cares about Christians in Nigeria and not Christians in Ukraine

‘tis the season to celebrate the many animal species that reproduce via parthenogenesis - or reproduction from an unfertilized egg. Pictured here are 3 species of all-female, parthenogenetic gecko: Mourning Gecko; Bynoe's gecko; & Indopacific slender gecko #MerryChristmas #Herpetology 🎄🧪🦎

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

Per Trump’s preferred naming format in the Epstein Files, I understand the Center is now called: [REDACTED] And The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

I cannot stress enough how much PIs appreciate hand written notes from graduating mentees. I cherish each one, & many are hanging in my office. Related, if you left a while ago & have good news, we love to get emails from former mentees! Let us celebrate with you! Today I was lucky to get both 💜

Open to foreigners. 7 junior and 7 senior positions available in my section. Little to no knowledge of French required. Are you a structural bioinformatician with interest in protein-protein interaction cascades, evolutionary biology and/or glycobiology, do not hesitate to contact me.

Begging the question = avoiding the question. If you want to ask a question, you invite it. Or pose it. The other usage drives me bananas.

Inflation is so bad in Trump’s economy that the cost of his ballroom went from $200 million to $400 million in 6 months.

You may have heard a bizarre news item a couple of weeks ago about a young woman who crashed the rare plant market by cloning plants in her basement. I was intrigued enough to go looking for her YouTube channel. Suffice to say I've found a new hero www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dk3...
