The present-day academy is absolutely rotten with sycophants that are too afraid of believing in anything to stand up for themselves. They would sooner let themselves be steamrolled into paving stones than make any political statement. (1/2)

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across currently unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river.

If your work is forcing you to adopt Copilot or Claude or another AI assistant they suggest, this means that they expect you to manage a workload worthy of a role that would require a human PA. They’re working you like a CEO, but I bet they aren’t paying you like one hbr.org/2026/01/comp...

Absolutely gormless reporting from the NYT. Framing this as a "repealing", as if scientific conclusions are arbitrary legal strictures, helps to manufacture consent for climate denial. The government didn't repeal anything--they just made The Big Lie their official position (again).

The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

A great 30-minute read on the importance of resisting narratives about AI’s “inevitability” and “falling behind” if you refuse to adopt them in your work. AI is only inevitable if you allow it to be. Ask more questions. Demand more answers. Don’t take magical LLM job replacement stats for granted.
