The Emory Biology department is hiring a tenure-track ecologist at any rank. Deadline is Nov 1, link below! As I've said many times before, I couldn't ask for a more supportive department. Our faculty colleagues, dept chair, and admin staff are truly awesome ❤️ apply.interfolio.com/191783

Hey quick reminder while everyone was freaking out about the substation and Kyle Shanahan you all seemed to miss that the most injured team over the last decade isn't the 49ers... ...it's the New York Giants!

Vought is breaking the law but he is not “going rogue.” At his confirmation hearings, Vought told Republicans he would do this and they voted for him anyway. If they want to stop him, they still can via impeachment. They won’t.

Apparently today's discourse is about "Shrekking". I didn't know what that was but now I do. In any case, it's a good time to point out that the entire premise is probably based on a faulty inference that results from conditioning on a collider. @jsellenberg.bsky.social explains:

a lot (not all, there are externalities, they're just normal ones) of the data center stuff does have witch hunt vibes in that that it's based moral panic pseudoscience, but considering how the AI industry has acted it's sorta like the accused witch *had* been going around bragging about her powers

I love how some members of my Jewish community are at least implicitly galaxy-braining themselves into "we shouldn't vote for the Jew who voted against aid to Israel once, meaning in a two-party race we are supporting the guy who at minimum happily employed a literal Nazi."

uhhhhh
 investigation was originally developed for The New York Times, where it underwent eight months of editing, multiple rounds of fact-checking, and independent replication of the underlying methodology. The piece had a scheduled publication date when requests for comment were sent. It was only after the Times reached out to the subjects of the investigation for routine comment that the Elias Law Group, representing the DCCC and DSCC, sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding the paper not publish. Although the paper's fact-checkers and legal department later cleared the piece before sending out a second round of requests for comment, the Times ultimately decided to kill the piece.3:27
a4democracy.substack.com
The piece was subsequently slated for publication at The Bulwark, where it underwent additional fact-checking, data verification, and legal review. When requests for comment were sent to the subjects of the investigation, lawyers representing the Progressive Turnout Project and Mothership Strategies likewise responded with legal letters demanding that the article not run.
From there, publication was repeatedly delayed. The piece cleared successive rounds of legal review. When I asked for a committed publication date after months of delay, The Bulwark conditioned publication on my accepting an extensive rewrite prepared by its editors that, in my assessment, removed key empirical findings without explanation, introduced claims contradicted by the data and fact-checking record, and presented the subjects' legal defenses as my own conclusions. When I declined to publish under those terms, the piece was released back to me.

What will happen when you do this is, to replace the rich international students who were paying full tuition, colleges will enroll more rich American kids (who will be less capable, on average) who can pay the same. Which, yeah, sounds more or less like a Republican policy goal.
