I have seen so much of this kind of thing over the years--but this in a different category. It´s completely egregious.

Our latest is live! ⚖️ @bookshop.bsky.social reports on the criminalization of creativity around the world, esp queer and/or erotic works. Recent rulings re: an Australian erotica author and a Russian fic writer signal just how worrying the current climate is. Read our listen to an audio version:

There are things you don't tell your boss/coworkers, but I don't think "I write fan fiction for Heated Rivalry sometimes" is the worst thing to tell your boss/coworkers or be proud of and, TO ME, it is WORSE to try to connect your employee to their NSFW fic + involve HR slate.com/advice/2026/...

I wrote about depictions of tech on TV—esp around themes of failure—and how these show read in the current climate. "Tech titans used to proudly tout their ability to get back up after being thoroughly knocked down; now, the slightest hint of critique prompts a full-blown billionaire tantrum."

NIH funded peeps: This is insane and coming for us.
For FY 2026 RPPRs:
If there are any publications with a foreign co-author, a statement submitted through the Signing Official (SO) confirming the author will no longer publish or collaborate with the foreign partner is sufficient to show the collaboration has ended. Also indicate that no IDeA money was transferred via subcontract to an institution in a foreign country. This path will minimize delays.For FY2027 RPPRs onward:
Pls are required to submit prior approval requests for any publication co-authored with individual(s) affiliated with a foreign institution(s).
Per NOT-OD-26-026, prior approval requests must be initiated and submitted by a SO for the recipient organization.
In addition to noting the foreign site and the name of the foreign investigator, the prior approval request should provide information about the nature of the research being conducted; why the involvement of the foreign site is necessary; and whether any data will be transferred.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.
Rule:
The use of AI is prohibited for aid in conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising,
translating, or editing any work submitted for credit. AI use is prohibited for any use for
any purpose in any exam situation. Students may not upload course
materials—including assignments, readings, slides, class recordings, or other class
content—into generative AI systems. AI can be used for research on papers ONLY for the
limited purpose of identifying sources, such as cases, statutes, or secondary sources.
Students are responsible for the accuracy of their research and all other aspects of their
submitted work. Citations to sources that do not exist will raise a presumption of
prohibited AI use
