Grammarly's AI-fueled edits -- using my name - suggested making up sources and writing vague insinuations. In my latest for @nytopinion.nytimes.com (gift link) I describe Grammarly's terrible edits in my name -- and call for a federal right of publicity. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/o...

The worst figures on campus arguing that campuses had become overrun with wokeness were all best buddies with Epstein. Quelle surprise. www.salon.com/2026/02/19/j...

Jeffrey Epstein helped fuel the campus culture wars
The academics in the Epstein files aren’t all criminals, but they shared beliefs about whose work matters.

Our 3D scans of the ~2.0 million-year-old hominin pelvis (DNH 43) from Drimolen (Cradle of Humankind, South Africa) publicly available at this link. Species is most likely Paranthropus robustus. Please use scans & cite Berg et al (2025). #paleoanthropology 🏺🧪 human-fossil-record.org/index.php?/c...
Figure 1 from Berg et al (2025): Three-dimensional polygon models derived from surface scanning of DNH 43. A) sacrum (DNH 43A) with arrow indicating cranially-directed deformation of the left side of the sacral plateau; B) bisection and reflection of the relatively undistorted right side to reconstruct the left side; C) medial view of the two refit pieces of the os coxae (DNH 43B); D) anterior view of the articulated pelvis with the reconstructed sacrum and the right os coxae reflected to reproduce the left side; E) superior view of the articulated pelvis; F) lateral view of the articulated pelvis.

The Serbian students and teachers have moral credibility, which explains the huge mobilisation, explains ex-justice minister Božo Prelević. Now he calls for a temporary technocratic government of experts to replace Aleksandar Vučić — as happened in 2000, after the fall of Slobodan Milošević.

Serbian protests over a railway collapse grew into a mass movement of direct democracy. Students and workers formed assemblies, rejecting state authority and resisting co-option by opposition parties and NGOs, showing the power of self-organisation against systemic failure. #anarchism #ansyn
