The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.

Appeal from colleagues at Harvard: "...we also call upon our fellow institutions of higher education in the United States to declare their willingness to facilitate the immediate co-enrollment of Harvard’s international students., including formal acceptance of transfer for immigration purposes."

Trump anunciou que Harvard não pode mais ter estudantes estrangeiros. 1/4 dos estudantes lá são de fora. Vale prós atuais e futuros. É um ataque sem precedentes. Na mais prestigiosa Universidade. Orban forçou uma universidade na Hungria a mudar de país. Trump vai na mesma direção.

The Republican administration is also ordering all current international students (and postdocs, I believe) at Harvard to transfer or leave the country. www.dhs.gov/news/2025/05...

Apparently existing foreign students at Harvard MUST transfer according to the Trump administration. My Harvard neuroscience/connectomics peeps: If this impacts any of you (faculty/students), get in touch with me and we can chat about how I can help you.

Longe de mim defender a jornalista gaúcha Roseane Oliveira, mas esse caso é absurdo!! Uma juíza decidiu que a jornalista pagará 600 mil por ousar divulgar o supersalário da amiga desembargadora. Na liminar está a frase: “ainda que as informações divulgadas sejam públicas e verídicas” Que tal?

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

Imagina você errar COMPLETAMENTE a interpretação das obras que usa na epígrafe do seu próprio livro? Imagina não ter um editor, preparador, revisor pra avisar? Agora imagina seu livro ser resenhado por todos os grandes veículos e NENHUM crítico apontar o vexame? É muito Brasil.

Brazil has presidential elections next year and Google & Meta are openly sponsoring events of Bolsonaro and the far right. I fear this sort of thing will only grow stronger. There's no possibility of sovereignty & self-determination within an Internet dominated by billionaires & US companies.

This is completely false. Even the largest university endowment cannot sustain large-scale scientific research. In my 25 years at my school, the most monumental research fund drive raised $325M in total. Federal research here costs $200M per every year. This is an extinction-level event.

What I get from the Biden's-decline book is a vivid picture of the self-reinforcing culture of denial/deflection that builds up within the closest circle around a frail president. So the takeaway isn't "Democrats must atone." It's that it's surely happening again, to a greater extreme, right now.
