Been reading Chomsky takedowns for the last 20 years - all of them just regurgitate the same talking points. Obviously the Epstein stuff is horrible - but trying to draw some connection between that and his views on IR theory? Tenuous at best. I think it is mostly that he never admits he was wrong.

I wrote this because most journalists facing this pressure can’t. The paper we count on to check authoritarianism spiked an investigation into the Democratic Party because the party’s lawyers threatened to sue. Holding authoritarians accountable starts with holding your own side accountable.

Many myths debunked in this paper. Paper finds that: -faculty partisanship has no effect on students -students ideologically sort into majors; majors don’t affect partisanship -faculty partisanship is uncorrelated with how left/rightwing course content is micah-baum.github.io/files/baum-e...
DO FACULTY AFFECT STUDENT PARTISANSHIP?*
Micah Y. Baum*

Abstract
We study whether Democratic college professors make their students more liberal. We link voter data to salary records from 33 state flagships and show that faculty skew Democratic, especially in the humanities and social sciences. We then use student transcripts from one flagship to estimate causal effects. Students become more liberal during college regardless of major and sort toward ideologically similar instructors. Exploiting plausibly random variation in when instructors teach courses, we find no effect of faculty partisanship on student partisanship. Text analysis shows exposure to liberal topics reflects student demand rather than instructor supply, leaving little room for indoctrination.

This should be read as Meta's opening salvo in a (really) yet-to-be-had debate about regulating AI. The security incidents at OpenAI/Anthropic is scaring them - not because the incidents are scary (they are) but because they are scared of the regulation that may come due to political fallout.

Israel intends to bomb all bridges on the Litani river, cutting off south Lebanon. At this rate neither UNIFIL nor the Lebanese army would be able to operate. Israel says they want Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah while being the ones weakening the state. Again: the goal is to destroy Lebanon itself.

A video verified by The New York Times shows ballistic missiles being launched from Bahrain in the direction of Iran, in what appears to be the first confirmed instance of an attack on the Islamic Republic originating from a Persian Gulf country since the war began.

It is unclear from the video alone whether the U.S. or Bahraini military launched the missiles. Iran has frequently accused Persian Gulf countries of allowing their territory to be used as a launchpad for U.S. attacks.
