A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage

A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

Numerous teachers told me that they are wasting many hours of their lives giving thoughtful feedback to robots

You may be familiar with David Graeber's article-turned-book on Bullshit Jobs. This is a recent paper looking specifically at bullshit jobs in academia. No surprise, the people who see their jobs as bullshit jobs are mostly administrators. The people who overwhelmingly do NOT see their jobs as bullshit jobs are faculty.

But that is what I see AI in general and LLMs in particular as changing. The situations I'm describing above are exactly the things that turn what is so meaningful to us as teachers into bullshit. The more we think that we are unable to actually teach them, the less meaningful our jobs are.

I've been thinking more and more about how much time I am almost certainly spending grading and writing feedback for papers that were not even written by the student. That sure feels like bullshit. I'm going through the motions of teaching. I'm putting a lot of time and emotional effort into it, as well as the intellectual effort, and it's getting flushed into the void.

Oh wow. Note: This response (below, which is real) to Trump’s tweet depicting himself as pope is from the New York State Catholic Bishops, who represent the collective bishops of the state. Among them is Cardinal Dolan of NYC, who Trump appointed to his new religious liberty commission this week.

There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.
