"former IDF soldiers and intelligence officers . recounted how bombing Palestinians was “insanely fun,” how dogs ate the corpses and snipers gunned down starving Gazans as they ran to food at aid sites. One drew stick figures falling forward on their faces"

A very uncomfortably high number of awful things can be at least partially explained by the fact that almost every single person with immense capital or political power in this country seemingly uses AI on a daily basis for their decision making

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

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.

An Abundance of Katherines*
The Game Theory of Baby Naming

Katie Fritz', Kate Ivanovich', Katherine Lee', Katie Luo', Cathy Meng', and Katie Van Koevering
'Cornell University†

Abstract
In this paper, we study the highly competitive arena of baby naming. Through making several Extremely Reasonable Assumptions (namely, that parents are myopic, perfectly knowledgeable agents who pick a name based solely on its "uniqueness"), we create a model which is not only tractable and clean, but also perfectly captures the real world. We then extend our investigation with numerical experiments, as well as analysis of large language model tools. We conclude by discussing avenues for future research.

from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz

Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."

Guy on lichess had a Netanyahu themed username so I checkmated them with a pawn

A chess position - the long and short of it is that black has castled and is up a lot of material, whereas white's king is exposed in the middle of the board with nothing. Black also has mate in one after black moved king to f4.

More detailed: White has a king on f4 (lmao), a queen on a4 a rook on a1, a bishop on c1, a knight on d2, and pawns on a2, b3, c4, e4, f3, and h2. Black has a king on g8, a queen on g1, rooks on a8 and f8, bishops on d7 and e7, knights on c6 and f6, pawns on a7, b7, c7, d6, f7, g7, and h7.

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.

#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.

When you compare how much right-wing funding is going into their version of the humanities in higher ed ("civil discourse," "civic thought," "intellectual freedom") vs how little public or private funding there is for peer-reviewed humanities scholarship & teaching, it really makes you think.
