Hey so uhhhhh that Boston Globe story about the lesbian bar relaxing its covid rules is an *absolute fucking hit piece* targeting the disabled, chronically ill, and covid-conscious and it would be great if folks sharing and joking about it could recognize that framing.

if you need to "check everything" that an LLM spits out in peer review, aren't you just making MORE work for yourself? What is even happening, and why is adding more steps and labor somehow considered the "better" way to do peer review???

a few years ago there was this surge in antivax propaganda (born out of the covid denialist movement) that was pushing a lot of content in leftist spaces with an anti authoritarian framing.

We went to a (very good) yard sale today, and before I realized what I was doing and why, I was going through the DVDs for classic movies. (I currently own very few films on physical media). It's that time I guess.

Here is the full suspension letter from UGent that was sent to Nathan Cofnas, it shows ample reason for his suspension and potential termination. Including breach of contract, using the University of Ghent’s name and legitimacy to promote his racial supremacist views and causing reputational damage.

Wow. There are more names in support of Cofnas here! More than 300 academics defending the conduct of a gutter racist. johnarmstrongmaths.com/openletters/...

As academics, we are concerned that Ghent University's disciplinary proceedings against Dr Cofnas appear to constitute retaliation, at least in part, for publicizing academic misconduct that occurred in British universities.

I assume this "scoop" was leaked on purpose as a trial balloon. As such, we can learn the following from it: - At least some of Harris's people think Gaza was *a* reason she lost if not *the* reason - They are seeking a way to run again and not be DOA in the primary - They think they are fixable

Imperial boomerang: for centuries, Europeans have framed tech to protect against cold (fire, furnaces) as noble and good, while they’ve framed the warm climates they colonized as full of lazy people (Asians, Africans) and, thus, the need to use AC or fans as frivaloues, wasteful & unnecessary
