Question for any historians (or historian-like people) on here: Any recommended articles about the 19th century US Populists' thinking on money and banking? I've read Lawrence Goodwyn and Michael Kazin. But there must be lots of more recent stuff. Thanks!

I am going to say what I've been saying for some time. If they succeed in restricting and criminalizing abortion pills, more people are going to die. ALSO, I think that the public is overly complacent right now.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Historically a lot of tech adoption was about being perceived as ahead of the curve, but so much of ‘AI’ talk is baselessly insisting we are all at the end of the curve.

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

The fact that the preferred political movement of the free speech set immediately set about establishing “western civics centers” while gutting the rest of the humanities and supports for marginalized students really does tell you what the source of their concerns really were

Essentially it's the same as thinking customer service can be handled by all the well defined cases in a menu tree--an assumption that's ok if you're the provider and do not actually need people to be helped. But AI agents are like trying to get me to willingly call Comcast on a regular basis
