My university is now requiring that to access your online teaching tools, that you have to submit your personal phone number and download an app in which the university can surveil your personal information.

If you go into a church with a lot of traumas, addictions, etc - you are much more likely to *stay* in that church if they teach you that those prior ‘sins’ were caused by an ‘adversary’ who can only be defeated with their help & with regular church attendance

When you used ChatGPT to generate an essay for my class, and then it invented a bunch of quotations, and then it ATTRIBUTED THEM TO ME -- did you think I wouldn't notice? Unlike you, I write my own material, and I know what I didn't say.

I can't remember who said it (someone smarter) that people don't see Trump's true actions, they project what they want Trump to be and think of him that way because it makes it easier to swallow that you just voted for a psychopath. Seeing this with AI users who don't want to be considered idiots

Rape is about control and dominance. That's it and the reactions of some males only undermines the point. (And tells on themselves.)

The only thing that’s had any evidence of actually increasing family size is increasing the amount of remote work done by one or both spouses. It’s not “money” affordability, it’s time and engagement. There’s a much higher expectation for engagement for parents too. The wife and I want five kids.

And one consequence of this, we argue, is that the hollowed-out parties in the global north hemorrhaging voters to far right authoritarians might learn something from parties of the global south that have never taken the stability of their democratic systems for granted.

There are still lots of dangers here, and in the paper we place additional conditions on leaders' behavior to ensure they actually serve democratic ends. Still, when conditions are dire, and countervailing power is in short supply, we should broaden the range of tactics we consider

Before you build a family ask yourself and relevant parties: Do I want a family/kids (as a possession or marker of x) OR Do I want to parent? Respectfully it should be the second.

I also think discourse around disinformation keeps falling into the trap of treating it as a supply side issue, rather than examining the demand side and what to do about that. That is a far more pressing, and far more complicated, problem.

Bit more niche but also you don't need to be sworn in by the speaker *at all* after an election. You do if you are elected mid-session (by house rules) but immediately after the election you are sworn by the speaker elect by convention, not by requirement

The House is not a continuing body like the Senate. It reconstitutes entirely after the election. No rules or leadership carry over to the next session except only to the extent that the next session affirmatively chooses to readopt rules or leadership
