Spoke to a class a Columbia earlier about press freedom and anticipated having to explain what Gawker was but it did not occur to me for even two minutes that I would also have to explain who Hulk Hogan was

Hegseth is definitely a "weirdo," so by his own standards he needs to stay away from the military.

General officers and the entire officer corps will have to make a decision to either be a part of this project or not. You're either part of this new fascist military or you're not.

yet the lack of training wasn't the issue here, so why are we bringing it up.

Van Houten told NPR member station WSKG in an interview that Doe's statement was taken by "an experienced investigator" trained in sexual abuse investigations "over an extended period of time." Cornell University Police did not respond to questions about details of the length, time and place of the interview or other details of the manner of questioning before publication.

I don't find the Schmitt Senate fiasco remotely funny. It's just McCarthyism but more incompetent. It's appalling, & a constitutional order that can't end this level of unserious lying & extremist nonsense isn't worth saving. We need massive institutional reform to make sure it never happens again.

Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

It's very easy to dismiss these voices as fringe and the discussion as feeding right-wing propaganda (which it does). But like the Greenfield bar story, anyone honest who has spent time in left spaces knows that these dynamics and people are very real and a problem that needs to be confronted.

This isn't true. Cornell has suicide rates on par with peer institutions (which to be clear is not great). The idea that Cornell has unusually high suicide rates traces back to the manner of suicide (jumping into the gorges) being especially dramatic. Do not make me defend this institution RN.

If you knew him, you loved him—and if there was karaoke, you knew Dennis was getting on that mic! I'm grateful for the laughs, the memories, and the friendship we shared all these years. Rest easy, my friend. You'll always be part of our Bayside family.

K-pop is a fascinating case study in that it’s basically the ideal testing ground for virtual, high-output, flashy-concept AI music, and so far it hasn’t worked. There have been a few attempts! But it turns out that people want a sense of connection with *real humans.*

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

And media making it official policy to treat those attacks as fair game that they would not take seriously, report on, or treat as harmful — even when leveled at their own reporters. Now the White House points GamerGate at its targets daily, through the owners of the social platforms themselves.
