The climate impact of ChatGPT is so frustrating because you can’t get rid of plastic, or private jets or cars, but here’s a product you can opt out of on day one and the same people who recycle, who don’t litter, who believe in climate change are like “This is worth it to never use my brain again.”

As a cancer survivor and with members of my family having had or still having prostate cancer, diagnosis can be a sudden event. Cancer isn’t a state: sorry to report—our bodies are constantly fighting off things that could become cancerous at a cellular level all the time.

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

I’m reading a bunch of work on autocracy and democratic backsliding. I’m struck that scholars in this tradition don’t get called “political” or “biased” despite their clear normative stance. Yet, race and gender scholars—who were the canaries in the coal mine for backsliding—do.

Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.

Holocaust denial/neo-Nazism has always been the sun around which far right politics in the US orbits. Oftentimes it's hovering in the imperceptible distance, usually beyond the intention of far right actors themselves, but its gravitational pull is always there. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded. Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.

This one is largely on Democrats. They could easily make Stephen Miller the face of the administration — emphasizing how out of control Trump is and how far right the actual policies are, prompting the media to follow their lead — but they’re largely giving him a pass. It’s bizarre.

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness 😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡
