This is why baseball has curdled for me over the last couple years. MLB isn’t currently planning for a World Series. It’s planning for the owners to lock out the players. They have engineered a lockout and will then blame it on players for not accepting less. links.e1.nytimes.com/a/sc/PchhwJ1...

Weddings in. Holiday cards out. Internal MLB memo sets rules for lockout

A memo obtained by The Athletic lays out details governing whether teams can send holiday cards to players, and if players can play abroad.

Yes! Even if you do those things, lots of events don't get included; specifying the length of an event requires extra steps that people don't take; some discussions take place with individual subgroups, not the whole family; etc. I don't want to have to practice data hygiene for my family life.

In practice, AI literacy doesn’t start with building the tool for your personal use. It starts with understanding yourself as a collection of tasks who should subcontract those out to a machine. Almost no regular person’s life currently exists as such.

to place the sexual and reproductive exploitation of black women at the center of your understanding of american slavery is to see that the system was forced birth and this, in turn, should lead to a more expansive vision of what the 13th amendment actually guarantees.

Its unfortunately a bit boring to repeat the same thing over and over again, but peer review, like the rest of academia and knowledge work in general, is under enormous duress bc the labor conditions of the people who do it have deteriorated beyond the point of the system functioning as intended.

This is an absolute travesty. Northwestern has, probably, the 2nd best library collection for African History/Studies in the USA (behind Yale and ahead of MSU, UCLA, etc). A self-inflicted wound that is absolutely, 100% unnecessary given the massive wealth of Northwestern--north of $15 billion.

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

I did an experiment in which I asked Copilot to generate a review of a grant proposal. I gave it the review criteria and it spat out a surprisingly specific and thorough review… before I’d given it a proposal. It’s just predictive text. It is not thinking. it generates text, it does not write.
