✍🏾 MY LATEST: I wrote about the moral panic Republicans manufactured about trans girls in sports. I decided to turn all my yelling on social media about trans girls in sports into a column.

The Panic Over Trans Athletes is Fake: Opinion
Republicans have manufactured a crisis in women’s sports, just in time for the midterm elections. Democrats should find the courage to defend trans children—or at the very least, leave them alone.

If you work at Cal State + are an AI refuser/angry re the renewal of the OpenAI contract, take the CSU AI Survey! I suspect last yr's data skewed towards enthusiasts/early adopters (certainly on my campus). It's important that the data reflect the full range of attitudes aisurvey.sdsu.edu/live/

The AI doomerism of Skynet is coming and we're all going to die has also percolated down to kids. I got a lot of questions about whether or not that was true. So good job mainstream media. Your "CEO says" copy pasted press releases are working.

How to avoid sexual assault! A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE* 

sexual violence centre cork 

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS 

4 WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE. 

3 WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM. 

6 CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU. 

5 IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

*for perpetrators.

Because my colleague in the library talked to the students in my critical approaches to gAI class, they now have "silences in the archives" language to go along with the discussion of biases in the training data for gAI this is great.

reading. for most of my students at my flagship public university tuition is very affordable, which I agree is something most folks miss (largely because of state and federal aid programs, but surely discount rate too - that's less visible to me).

FWIW Canadian librarians have been pushing back against Springer Nature on this issue for many months now. I always appreciate faculty support for libraries. It'd be great if they would also call in their own colleagues -- in this case, the researchers agreeing to stamp their names on slop "books."

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!

Elder now works at a small zoo outside of Asheville, and there are two young male goats who fight ALL the time (literally butting heads) except for when they are taking short breaks between fights (and eating, I guess). They are hilarious.

It appears the loyalists will have to apply to the parade commission to hold another march (legally) on Drumcree Road once midnight passes tonight. The initial permission was given from 8am to 9.30am this morning, any marching after that time would be deemed illegal.

This both sides approach falls apart because the SDLP leader is there too, and both parties are there because the residents want them there. This is a traumatised community who don't want a hate march, they are not being led by the nose by SF. There is no both sides here.

Important point: the residents are those of the Garvaghy Road, not Portadown as a whole. They are perfectly content letting the Order march anywhere else. Just not there, and for good reason. I don’t think it is an unreasonable demand on the part of the residents to just ask to move a tiny bit.
