Listen I appreciate this call for solidarity but ultimately this is advocating faculty capitulation. To take the lead from AEI (and universities accommodating far right attacks) is a poison pill! They are against higher education as a public good! Bannon is a fascist! Bernie is abetting fascism!

I got really annoyed that so many stories about the "Cornell 7" case don't link to the underlying court documents. So I compiled the key filings from Jane Doe's civil suit and from a separate suit brought by one of the accused. Read them here: annabower.substack.com/p/read-the-c...

Even with limited data (ie cases are undercounted), and workers spraying and checking for standing water all summer, Florida’s ongoing dengue outbreak is the worst in the US since the 1940s, & locally-acquired cases have surpassed travel-acquired. “There's a good chance that this is the new normal”

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

#ResistanceRoots Margaret Chung was born on this day in 1889 in Santa Barbara, Calif. She was a medical doctor and philanthropist who shattered racial, gender and social norms in the first half of the 20th century. Her life was defined by her unique role as a military recruiter during WWII. /1

Dr. Margaret “Mom” Chung. Chung rewrote the rules of what an Asian American woman, a physician and a civilian could achieve in 20th-century America. She broke institutional barriers in education and medicine, revolutionized healthcare access for marginalized women, and bridged the divide between Western medicine and traditional Chinatown cultures. Operating outside formal government channels, she built a massive, cross-branch network of military personnel, Hollywood icons and politicians. She served as a clandestine recruitment and vetting resource for the U.S. military. Her behind-the-scenes lobbying helped expand women’s right to serve in the U.S. armed forces. She was also a trailblazing queer icon who proved that strategic brilliance and unwavering patriotism could force even most conservative systems of her era to honor her.
