This is 100% wrong, to the degree of being criminal. I'm saying that as someone who has graduated law school and never been admitted to practice.

Wow. This explains so clearly so much of what I have experienced and am frustrated by in my career. Not being treated as if I bring a value or that the work I do is valuable is crushing. And it takes a huge amount of energy to ignore the slights day after day.

And simply passing the bar exam doesn't make you a lawyer either, even most lawyers seem to forget this.

It's also worth noting that passing the bar exam is not all that is required for admittance to the bar

I legitimately want everyone in the boat strike chain with command responsibility to stand trial, and there is like maybe a 5% chance that occurs not because "feckless dems want to turn the page blah blah blah" but because arguing an OLC memo is not a stay out of jail card is gonna be hard as hell

As a PhD student designing my first survey, I added what I thought was a throwaway question at the end. To my surprise, thousands of academics answered it! The paper is out today: doi.org/10.1093/pnas...

Every explanation of anarchism I hear is like "what if small town but on steroids." Like I escaped rural America on purpose.

Show Snag some love. Not only have they made size inclusive ballet tights (and believe me, that’s hard to come by), they made the primary image a wheelchair using dancer. They make lots of other things, too, but I can vouch for the tights. snagtights.com/products/120...

I love good church incense, I loved it when they let me serve as thurifer. (Episcopalian not Roman Catholic, but still very high church liturgically.)

On a similar but opposite note, data centers are going off grid and running MWs of small scale generators, natural gas and diesel, because it’s faster and easier. Even if extremely expensive.

The party needs votes as much as it needs leaders, and as long as candidates aren’t compromising I’m fine with them being boring.

At least provided it doesn’t come at a cost

Agreed, but I don’t see running as a reliable vote as political cowardice. She hasn’t thrown anyone’s rights under the bus, she’s just kinda boring. I long for the days of boring.

I don’t mean this as an attack on Pou, as much as I’d love to see her be adamantly defending civil rights, I’m fine with a backbench party politician

Nellie Pou is running essential unopposed in my district, she’s running the most basic ads that (other than occasionally being in Spanish) could have run at any point in my life, the only opposition ads I’ve seen are transphobic and deeply absurd. And they never name a candidate.

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

Kai Shaikh, a Ph.D. student in mathematics at the University of Toronto, also currently at SLMath, observed that theorems are easy to use as benchmarks, but that they capture little of the wonderment at the heart of math. "Just like a photograph of a mile marker can't provide much of the value of actually going on a hike," he said,
"it would seem to me that proofs without stories, or even stories without struggle or mystery, and first glimpses of strange beasts, are not very meaningful or valuable to us humans."
