In a hearing where residents grilled officials on data centers, a resident of Tyrone Township, Michigan, asked a simple question: Have you signed an NDA with any party regarding developments that could affect the town? The majority of the township's officials refused to answer.

What a world, that there's a new John Williams score coming out next week, as I sit here editing chapters to the Cambridge Companion on his life and work. I couldn't resist listening to the short sample from Disclosure Day released yesteday, and once I did obviously I had to transcribe it...

"for unknown reasons, my mortal enemies appear to be concerned with the core essence of humanity in a way that my allies are not. oh well, better not think about it too hard."

Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog

A weird thing is that whenever I post criticism of Al, the majority of the people agreeing with me seem to be leftists. It's pretty much the only position I hold that seems to be more popular with the left than the right. It should be the opposite. My whole point about Al (especially Al in creative fields) is that it isn't human, it doesn't have a soul, and we cannot surrender our society to an unhuman soulless algorithm even if it makes our lives easier in some ways. It's very strange that an argument predicated on the existence of the soul resonates with the left while conservatives tend to scoff at it.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

It has always been true that only a fraction of the readership reads long pieces. Or reads past the jump, as they used to say in the newspaper biz. The ones who read it all are called "readers." And they are more likely to subscribe to the publication and/or become lifelong fans of the writer.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

A thread by an A&M professor describing how the new rules will impact faculty. Syllabi must be fed into AI to be checked for content not aligned with approved syllabi; students will be encouraged to report faculty for inaccurate content; and young people are now being told they get to decide what a professor should teach.

Is every university's AI "taskforce" in reality a naked boosterism committee like mine. Rarely felt so demoralized by the mismatch of what I thought Higher Ed stood for and what I see endorsed and accepted (and, far worse, ommitted!) in these reports, surveys, guidelines, etc. Pathetic.

We're clear-eyed: Every AI company and investor has massive incentive to hype the most glorious AI case. So the technology might never live up to its promise.

But this would require every CEO of America's seven biggest companies to be collectively delusional about where they're spending trillions in combined capital.

From his mad ravings to the generals meeting yesterday (transcribed in @hcrichardson.bsky.social's newsletter this morning). This kind of shit is what they're trying to hide:

"They looked at him falling downstairs every day. Every day, the guy is falling downstairs. He said, It’s not our President. We can’t have it. I’m very careful. You know, when I walk downstairs for, like, a month, stairs, like these stairs, I’m very—I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record. Just try not to fall, because it doesn’t work out well. A few of our presidents have fallen and it became a part of their legacy. We don’t want that. You walk nice and easy. You’re not having—you don’t have to set any record. Be cool. Be cool when you walk down, but don’t—don’t pop down the stairs. So one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him as a President, but he would bop down those stairs. I’ve never seen it. Da-da, da-da, da-da, bop, bop, bop. He’d go down the stairs. Wouldn’t hold on. I said, It’s great. I don’t want to do it. I guess I could do it. But eventually, bad things are going to happen, and it only takes once. But he did a lousy job as president. A year ago, we were a dead country. We were dead. This country was going to hell.”

Neither the hardest nor most time-consuming boss from Elden Ring but my vote for the worst on an RL1. I *hated* this fight. Between the horrid summons, teleporting, animation locks after successfully dodging attacks, it drove me crazy. Even this win feels lousy b/c it was so random and unclean.

Medieval theorists distinguished between several species of hexacheeses -- mollis (ex. marscaponic), naturalis (ex. muensterlyidan), and durus (ex. cheddorian). These of course were visualized via the Goudanian Hand.
