Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Ok, so NOT the “only” (as Gebru corrects in follow-ups). But certainly a crucial voice and take that I’m glad to get at this particular moment.

In my boardgame group tonight, one person said they don't get COVID shots any more "because COVID isn't as dangerous as it used to be". That is SO not true. This year's new COVID shots are available. I'm getting mine tomorrow. I'll get a flu shot, too.

Up to 56,000 people died from COVID-19 or RSV last year
RSV was associated with 190,000 to 350,000 hospitalizations from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, as well as 10,000 to 23,000 deaths, according to new CDC data.

I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

True meaning of the Minnesota state flag meme, showing a picture of some water bird swimming in a river in the top panel, red eyes gleaming as head tilts toward the viewer in the second panel, and then the bird letting loose a powerful burst of blue energy from its mouth with eyes in full force gleam mode like a star.  Below all of that is the new MN state flag.

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel.
The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact?
See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area.
2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week.
3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts.
4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company.
Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years.
Nothing you do will have greater impact.
