So Amazon AI is stealing content from people who do not sell on their site, so that people go to Amazon instead and get the sales. youtube.com/shorts/s8jGn...

Dr Giggles. That was just a crazy movie that helped push me to hate clowns even more. That laugh still freaks me out.

It would be really nice to be able to cheer for something and feel good about it. Haven't been able to do that, sports wise and honestly life wise, in a long time.

I'm half-British and half-Thai. A random right-winger verbally racially abused me in the street for no reason at all. That same man was in my A&E ward a couple of days later due to a cardiac arrest. I was the doctor who saved him. There's a moral in that story somewhere.

HEDY LAMARR escaped from her Nazi husband by disguising herself as her own maid, became a top actress in Hollywood, then co-developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes - the principles of which are incorporated into today’s Bluetooth and GPS technology. Helluva lady.

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.

No...for reenactments to be...realistic, there need to be people being horribly maimed and killed. Everything else is sanitized cosplay. And you don't need Nazis for cosplay. The Clean Wehrmacht is the cockroach of historical myths.

And yet again I must trot out the science major in a history of science class when I was an undergrad, who didn't understand why it was useful to know about why people had ideas that had turned out to be wrong. That was the day I learned a lot about why the world is so messed up.

Yes. I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.

When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".

A Curse Against Stealers Of Books
For him that
stealth a book from
this place, let it
change into a
serpent in his hand
and rend him.
Let him be struck with
palsy,
& all his members
blasted.
Let him languish in
pain crying aloud for
mercy, & let there be be no surcease to his
agony till he sink to
dissolution.
Let bookworms gnaw
his entrails in token of
the Worm that diets not,
& when at last he
goeth to his final
punishment, let the
flames of
hell consume him
forever & aye.
(Monastery Of San Pedro, Barcelona.)

I swear faculty can be some of the stupidest people at a university. Like, you read an email that says, click this link and tell us if you will do something or not, and instead of doing that you reply all to tell everyone your answer. Really? How stupid are you. The urge to reply is strong.

My whole career the Humanities seem to have been curled up in a defensive crouch trying to justify our meaning/existence. At times it has even seemed a productive thought exercise, but I think generally whatever body has demanded the justification is not really open to being persuaded of anything.

US policymakers must avoid the temptation to rebuild US science by mimicking China and going all in on STEM. That would be a mistake. We also need social science and humanities that makes sense of great technological change like AI. Thats part of US scientific tradition worth keeping.

For example, Henry Farrell argues that the social sciences arose from and are designed to make sense of moments of great social upheaval, which is exactly the moment AI is creating right now. Focusing only on investing in AI technology, without understanding the deeper implications of the changes it brings, would be a deep failure of science.

Farrell quotes Alondra Nelson, who has been thinking carefully about the impacts of AI for years:

AI is not an external force acting upon society from outside but an internal phenomenon constituted through social processes, institutional choices, market dynamics, and political struggles. Its effects are neither uniform nor preordained. They vary with context, design, and the distribution of power that determines how these technologies are built, deployed, and contested.
