I think that it's important to share examples of visible dissent. Normalcy bias is real. Sharing how people continue to dissent is helpful.

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

Horrifying Canadian higher ed news: York University, one of the country’s major R1s, is apparently suspending admission to a number of key programs (including GWS, languages, classics, and enviro biology)—very likely auguring cuts. This appears to be straight out of the West Virginia playbook.

“…not throwing marginalized people under the bus out of indifference, and not even really out of a selfish failure of empathy. They have embraced atrocity because they think certain groups of marginalized people deserve to be harmed, and they like the fact that Trump has promised to harm them.”

The AI bubble was inflated based on the idea that we need bigger models that both are trained and run on bigger and even larger GPUs. A company came along that has undermined the narrative - ways both substantive and questionable - and now the market panicked that $200bn got wasted on AI capex

Helpful advice for intervening to disrupt abusive and caustic behaviour. 1. Practice. 2. To the abuser, enroll 'we', "we don't do/tolerate that behaviour here". 3. To the person being abused "are you ok?" 4. It is always scary. See full thread for advice.
