wonder what @chronicle.com thinks now of their decision to platform him. I cancelled my sub then & would have done so 10x since then for similar reasons even if that was the bridge-too-farthest, it seems now.What a laugh that the editor wrote me a bothsides letter asking me to reconsider! Nevermore!

Unpaywalled link: archive.is/pIt05 I would guess the root of the Dartmouth situation is that the Provost was never writing those pieces himself, even before AI. He used staff to ghostwrite material for him; now his staff has turned to AI and he can't blame them without admitting the plagiarism.

Self-portrait at the age of 12, painting the portrait of her teacher Johannes Sulzer, 1691, by #AnnaWaser (Swiss, 1678-1714), who died #otd, Sept 20. Held by Kunsthaus Zurich, collection.kunsthaus.ch/en/collectio... #artherstory #womenartists
A painting of a young white skinned girl painting a miniature portrait on an easel. She wears a dress under a red skirt, with a patterned front, and a black collar and a close-fitting black cap that covers her ears and descends in a V in the middle of her forehead. Her right elbow is bent such that her hand, holding a paint brush, rises toward the work on the easel (she's painting a bust-length portrait of a man). Her left elbow is bent so that she can easily reach the palette she holds with her left hand (only her thumb is visible, through the hole in the palette). Her left hand also holds a clutch of 4 or 5 brushes. In the upper right corner is a coat of arms. Under it, in gold paint, is the artist's signature, which reads, "Durch An(n)a Waser v(on) Zürich / im 12. Jar ihres Alters gemalt / Anno 1691."

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.
Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.
