It seems notable to me that all the claims and suggestions for "future proofing" the library revolve around capitulating to the whims and desires of CEOs or institutional Presidents rather than the one thing that can actually protect the library: securing stable, permanent funding.

I keep saying this over and over but academia does not know how to deal with bad faith actors, and I suspect some measure of McCarthy-era academic freedom haze is a major part of the problem. If you trust that the system is good at hiring people, and that guardrails are in place, trust is inherited.

The idea of a Black academic being hounded to death for alleged acts of plagiarism in an era when universities are entering into contracts with AI companies and encouraging AI use among students, while Big Tech is stealing EVERYTHING humans write...

I read that Canadian Campus Antisemitism "report" so you don't have to (but you should). Simply put. we cannot accept the findings of this report because of its methodological flaws. Let's unpack a few of them. 🧵. www.canada.ca/en/canadian-... 1/11

“In our capacity as academics, perhaps the most radical thing we can do is our job itself. How can anybody in their right mind notice the growing damage to universities & instead of stand against this, facilitate the destruction of expertise, of learning skills, and of academic integrity?”

You can tell the New Yorker has all the best sports takes because the section is called “the sporting scene”, a phrase that definitely evokes the image of bloused trousers.

acabforcutie @ahemnason.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I think it’s so telling that this ghoul thinks lowering emissions is a “short term goal” that “isn’t sustainable” when we know both how little time we have and also how unsustainable the status quo is.

I think it would be possible to not exist in a constant thrum of worry and depression about the very clearly spiralling climate situation if literally any politician gave like 5% of a shit about it. I could say the same thing about the cost of living. Or genocides. Or tech regulation.

I don't think the mainstream necessarily is aware of the deep wellspring of anger that's among voters right now imho people's lives aren't better, the government couldn't give any less of a fuck, and they're not shy about showing us that

As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.

I think one of the things I find so frustrating about having conversations about AI with people who see it’s potential is that they think I’m blind to the upshot, and I think think they’re blind to the downside. THIS stuff, headless adoption and trust, is the real “inevitable” part of AI.

Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!! This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.

Sigh. A call for papers on the legacy of Aaron Swartz. A most worthwhile topic. But ACM charging APCs for this special issue? Is that in keeping with AS's legacy? In any case, I will not write for it, as I cannot afford the APCs. I will choose a diamond venue instead. dl.acm.org/pb-assets/st...
