Public universities have led the way in creating popular ethnic & gender studies programs, which are now being destroyed by aggressively regressive politicians & administrators, not because students aren't interested in these subjects, but because they are. www.texastribune.org/2026/09/17/u...

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

Wise words from Matilde Marcolli. “What comes out of [AI] may be good or evil, useful or not, dangerous or tame, but there is one thing it will not be: the thing that lives right now inside your mind and that is asking to be expressed, the thing that only you can give a voice to.”

artificial intelligence is not necessarily a natural human fantasy. if you start halfway thru the story, sure. if you pause and shake off cultural norms, artificial intelligence is a person-type-entity you can own and command. a person who isn't a person. they've got a type, is what i'm saying.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

Does the TA have a support network? Is it even possible to contact her in a caring way when she is undergoing mass harassment and institutional betrayal? It feels like very few academics give a shit about that, and perhaps that’s why you’re doomed.

Here’s a novel idea: what if we discussed how to support the TA while she’s going through this. How do we help an academic worker who is being institutionally thrown under the bus and actively harassed for doing her job because of who she is?

Among the Aspen Center’s quirks is that they won’t tell you who will be there before you go — and visits are 3 weeks long or more. Once I went and saw my rapist’s name on the door across from my assigned office. But I had to stay because of the importance of seeing and being seen there.

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gaza’s list of war dead
The children’s names below appear on a list of victims of Israel’s offensive in Gaza, maintained by health authorities in the territory. As of the end of July it ran to 60,199 names, of whom 18,457 were under 18s. Far from comprehensive, the list does not include the thousands still buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings, as well as the war’s many indirect victims As of the end of July there were 18,457 children named on the long official list of Palestinian victims of Israel’s war in Gaza. Over almost two years, that is equivalent to bombs, bullets and shells killing a boy or girl every hour of every day. In reality the deaths are not spaced out so evenly. Siblings, cousins and playmates are often killed together, by an airstrike or artillery shell. Even children shot by snipers or quadcopters are sometimes brought into hospitals in groups, doctors say. Continue reading...
