Here’s a nice list of words to inspire new paper titles. (And some extra motivation to use them 10x as often as usual.) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

How do you think about the trade-off between efficiency gains from using AI for teaching prep (e.g., creating slides) and protecting your intellectual property (and/or donating your knowledge and creativity to the tech companies that then train their models using your input)?

Could we call it the difference between narrow self-interest (which she voted for, as a promise of free IVF) and a commitment to the broader good (which she voted against, and turns out it included her govt. job)? Should we know that the narrower good may be too narrow for ourselves & what we love?

We’re closing this term’s R:ETRO seminars with the wonderful Tanusree Jain from CBS: “Unpacking the status of token women in corporate boardrooms.” This is a necessary and urgent conversation. Don’t forget to register! @drtanusreejain.bsky.social www.eventbrite.com/e/retro-semi...

“You don’t promote growth in a garden by allowing all the pests to feast on the fruit and flowers, and you don’t promote growth in an economy by allowing all the AIs to feast on the fruits of our creators.” - Stephen Fry www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

“We have been handed a huge list of words that may lead to a grant being pulled, including advocacy, biased, gender, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender), diversity, inclusion, marginalised, and underserved.” www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Without even thinking, I asked if I could have pa amb tomàquet (bread with tomato) in a restaurant in Mexico that didn’t have many vegan options. The addiction is real. 🍅 #paambtomaquet #catalanfood

When someone has Nazi views and you know that because they tweet them & say them out loud & did a speech where they did a Nazi salute but when you call them a Nazi everyone goes ‘WOAH HANG ON A MINUTE THATS REALLY HYSTERICAL AND OFFENSIVE’ and you have to scream into a pillow for 3 hours.

I don’t have the words to express all my anger (at least not yet, not without being rude). So let me share Thandii’s new album, which is the slightly sorrowful musical hug I needed. open.spotify.com/album/0IcpxP...

I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...

A lovely compilation of indie covers, and all proceeds go to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. 🍉 @billboard.com.web.brid.gy #musicforgood #solidarity somethingmerry.bandcamp.com/album/number...

Merci Gisèle Pelicot !

Used this article in class this week and the debate was incredible - from business ethics to policy, touching upon some metaphysics and metaethics. We, as a society, need to talk more (and more effectively) about this sort of tech and what we want it to look like. www.theverge.com/c/24300623/a...

Closed the Racial (In)justice MBA elective in fantastic company: Flavia Ladino (MBA Student’s Association VP of DEI), Anita Abaisa and Vivian Acquah (AmplifyDEI), and my partners-in-crime Naomi Williams and Alejandra Linares-Figueruelo. Thank you (and all the students) for such a special experience!

Not (too) surprised to find out that I spent almost 4000 minutes listening to @idlesband.bsky.social in 2024… Thank you for keeping me company!

On December 2, the Brussels Court of Appeal found the Belgian government guilty of crimes against humanity in Congo during Belgian colonial rule and ordered it to pay compensation as a form of reparation. It's a landmark win for the reparations movement. www.hrw.org/news/2024/12...

The more I learn #Catalan, the more I love it. Did you know that there’s a Catalan word to describe a display of affection whereby you caress someone’s face with your hand? It’s “moixaina” and it sounds as tender as it feels 🫶 #Català #amormésgran #languagenerd #languagelearner

Some really interesting points in this podcast about how #plantbased food systems can help us to fight the #climatecrisis, with Anita Krajnc and my dear friend Juan Pablo Casadiego: open.spotify.com/episode/1M9l... #plantbasedtreaty #pbt #climateaction

Join us next week for the last R:ETRO seminar of this term, with Alison Taylor (NYU Stern): “Higher Ground: Stakeholder Trust and the Limits of Reputational Risk Management” 💡 @followalisont.bsky.social #businessethics #oxfordsbs #stakeholdertrust #reputation www.eventbrite.com/e/retro-semi...

Next time I teach #intersectionality, I’ll tell my students about Saya Gray’s remarks to @pitchfork.com in March: “People would be like, ‘You’re a hot Asian—why don’t you just wear a bikini all the time?’” (“H.B.W.” is 🖤) youtu.be/2ka4W6_O89c?... #femaleartists #womeninmusic #endgbv #newmusic

On this International Day for the Elimination of #ViolenceAgainstWomen, I was going to post a song or two to celebrate women’s strength and resilience. Instead, I thought I’d crowdsource a playlist. Will you give me a recommendation? 🤓 #womeninmusic #femaleartists #fightlikeagirl #endgbv #niunamás

“The despair you feel because of the dying of the ash trees and the lessening of birdsong, the dwindling number of insects, these are the signs of your capacity to love the world. Do not deny that love. Let it be the fire that drives you to act, not the burden that crushes you.”

Such a beautiful song. Can’t wait to watch Luca Guadagnino’s forthcoming adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ “Queer”, scored by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. #newmusic #songoftheday youtu.be/vpVlXGbUZVo?...

Today I’m facing the world with a little help from @fatherjmisty.bsky.social Father John Misty’s new album: fatherjohnmisty.bandcamp.com/album/mahash... #newmusic #albumoftheday
