After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

In other professors’ syllabi, the bot flagged the Pulitzer Prize–winning play Angels in America by Tony Kushner, essays by the Mexican American MacArthur genius grant recipient Sandra Cisneros, and materials related to a class about the Holocaust (that professor was told to drop material regarding Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people).

Putting aside the ideological slant of the new rules, the bot, like many large language models, seems to “hallucinate,” or make mistakes. The AAUP lawsuit lists texts banned for their “sex-based ecofeminist framework” and “gendered ecofeminist frameworks.” These phrases might sound persuasively like academese, but the academics behind the lawsuit had never heard of them; these concepts “do not exist,” the complaint says. Matthew Pehl, a history professor at Tech, told me that he knew several people who’d received reports from the system that were “plainly written by an AI that had hallucinated content or confused content from one class to another.”

Trump is planning to host a third gala for the top investors of his $TRUMP crypto coin. He and his family have raked in $2.2 billion from their crypto ventures, while their investors have lost almost the same amount. They’ll fleece anyone they can — even their own supporters.

We cannot build a safer future by further building a surveillance state. Flock cameras & now ALPRs are expanding the ability to track people’s movements, often without their consent. Public safety matters, but so do our constitutional rights, privacy, & freedom to live without constant monitoring.

thehill.com

It’s not just Flock. These cameras, ALPRs may also be in your community

Backlash to Flock cameras has been growing in recent months, but the surveillance equipment company isn’t the only one that may be operating in your neighborhood.

I am in fact extremely angry about Bush v. Gore and have written about it often. But that's the side Ralph Nader was on. Bush winning wasn't an incidental byproduct of Nader's campaign -- it was the outcome he sought to achieve and did (by, for example, refusing to stop running in swing states)

So they were thrilled about the Nazis as long as they were targeting people they already hated. But of course they didn’t stop there. Niemöller realized his mistake when they came after Protestant converts from Judaism, but by then it was too late and they came for him too.
