Curious why leading a media frenzy resulting in a man’s death isn’t considered enough to constitute a “clear threat of lasting and substantial harm” by these people.

We commend Petra De Sutter, Rector of Ghent University, for her statement to the Belgian newspaper De Morgen, that "As a university, we have a responsibility to create space for debate, but also to ensure an environment where people feel heard and respected."

We agree that creating space for debate is an essential element of a university, and that space for debate should not be closed unless this is a last resort to prevent a clear threat of lasting substantial harm.

I found a copy of the April 1976 issue of Time magazine and I was struck by the photo journalism. Pieces about violence in the world were accompanied by actual images of the violence not just men holding guns or bombed out structures.

Same thing happened with Manchin and Sinema. Democrats seemingly always have enough heals to never get anything passed. The problem is bigger than Fetterman.

Many men are raised and conditioned to see romantic and sexual relationships as largely if not entirely transactional. “Traditional gender roles” mainly serve to make this transaction incredibly coercive in favor of the man.

What are we even doing here? I’m going to us AI to filter your application out based on key words but if you use AI to customize your application to the job posting it’s a bad look.

In today's competitive job market, it's safe to say your resume is being scanned, not read, by hiring managers and recruiters.
With hundreds of applications being received per open role, employers spend an average of just 11.2 seconds on each resume, according to a study done by AI-powered interview platform InterviewPal. While this number varies from company to company, the reality is that in today's artificial intelligence world, the decision to move a candidate forward is sometimes shaped by AI tools that filter applications before a human even sees it. Therefore, one small mistake or missed opportunity can easily cost a candidate the chance to advance.
Forbes spoke to a few recruiters and workplace experts about what they actually look for in those first few seconds of scanning your resume
- and how you can increase your chances of moving to the next round.

While AI has its benefits, Rathod and Green agree that relying on it too much when applying for jobs can do more harm than good. In fact, 67% of hiring managers say AI-generated resumes have negatively impacted the hiring process because there's been a surge of applicants using the tool to fabricate or embellish their experiences, and there's been an increase in applications that all look the same.
"What I'm seeing is a lot of people going to Al, pulling the raw feedback they receive and not customizing it," says Green. She adds that
"putting in a cookie-cutter Al merged resume from the job description is really doing yourself a discredit."
Rather than submitting a generic resume, Green and Rathom advise candidates to personalize their documents so recruiters notice right away their unique capabilities.

The woman who was deported was such a big fan of Trumps deportation regime that she thought it should be brought to France… until she got deported. No body deserves to be treated like this but lets not get too worked up over crocodile tears. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...

The whole nepo baby thing never fully made sense to me. I am engineer, my father is an engineer. I am I a nepo baby? Maybe, I guess. But it seems obvious to me that growing up around a certain profession will give access to resources and a nurturing environment starting very young.

The ideology that parents should have full autonomy over the lives and bodies of their children is incredibly dangerous. Mis/disinformation about medical care only compounds the ill effects.

Great to hear that the community is fighting back against this data center. I just want to point out that Ypsilanti the city and Ypsilanti Township are two separate entities and the Township has way less power and protections than the city. There is a reason they chose to build where they did.

I know I shouldn’t be surprised but this is insane.

Does the world need more oil from Venezuela? An article in the New York Times by Stanley Reed.

How would U.S. refineries benefit from more Venezuelan oil?

Refineries equipped to handle heavy Venezuelan crude would likely prosper, Mr. Chowdhury said. Venezuelan crude would probably flow to the United States, assuming that Washington lifts its restrictions.

Mr. Chowdhury said that U.S. refiners might be able to pass along discounts of up to 30 percent compared with what S&P Global Energy figures refiners in countries like China, Malaysia and India have paid Venezuela for its oil.

These U.S. refineries, which are concentrated on the Gulf Coast, would also be able to extract more gasoline and diesel from the crude, increasing supply and putting downward pressure on prices.

“You could have some lower pricing there, right there at the pump,” Mr. Chowdhury said.

The second invited talk is also about removing harmful behaviors from generative AI. There seems to be a generational gap in the understanding of this field where more junior researchers seem less concerned with real world impact and possible harm than senior researchers and faculty.

It’s very strange to me that this article doesn’t seem to interrogate beyond a passing remark the obvious contradiction in “institutional neutrality” when the state is instituting draconian measures against progressive speech and belief.

I think the end of this paragraph is more telling. The sun will become a red giant in six billion years. That is not exactly a pressing issue. I cannot fathom how someone could pull a quote so asinine and defend their intelligence in the same breath.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I wasn’t aware of this model of peer review and it seems to have a lot of pros although I’m unclear on how it would prevent more bunk science from being published. elifesciences.org/about/peer-r...
