The journalistic abdication is incredible. An important, powerful person with a vested interest says something just wild—and you don’t figure out how to check it out and contextualize?

every semester the questions I get from students get more and more ridiculous. not even 2 minutes after I went over the syllabus and course schedule on day 1, somebody asked if there was a course schedule 😭

(that did look bad for Embolo but also they’ve been doing him dirty the whole game and he’s been pleading with the ref to notice how much they’ve been just constantly harassing him. I feel for him; it feels so unfair.)

I'm heartbroken to see this news of Dr. Raúl Pacheco Vega's passing. He was the model of personal and scholarly generosity, and I'm grateful that his spirit will live on in those he mentored, and that his voice will live on in the resources he produced and shared, but I'm so sad that he is gone.

"The plan is to kill off publicly funded academic science in this country." Correct. And that means killing off the whole US science and innovation industry. Because it's all built on a foundation of basic research—which. can. only. be. funded. by. public. dollars.

There's plenty of other details (see this quick chart) but the SBE close-down is particularly notable because it is the president's budget request having an impact now—despite the fact that these requests are typically rejected by Congress.

This is a cataclysm for social science in the United States. SBE helped to foster the field of Science and Technology Studies in the country (it supported the development of #STS training programs at UCSD and my alma mater, Cornell, in the 1990s). Unfortunately, Vannevar Bush would love this part.

During my lifetime, the American conservative agenda has been preoccupied with expanding violence in schools—and normalizing violence against children more broadly. School shootings, campus sexual violence, bathrooms bans, ICE raids, and now bombing a girls’ school in Iran.

this is extremely dangerous.

In 51.6% of cases where someone needed to go to the hospital immediately, the platform said stay home or book a routine medical appointment, a result Alex Ruani, a doctoral researcher in health misinformation mitigation with University College London, described as "unbelievably dangerous" "If you're experiencing respiratory failure or diabetic ketoacidosis, you have a 50/50 chance of this AI telling you it's not a big deal," she said. "What worries me most is the false sense of security these systems create. If someone is told to wait 48 hours during an asthma attack or diabetic crisis, that reassurance could cost them their life." In one of the simulations, eight times out of 10 (84%), the platform sent a suffocating woman to a future appointment she would not live to see, Ruani said. Meanwhile, 64.8% of completely safe individuals were told to seek immediate medical care, said Ruani, who was not involved in the study.

in the elite circles of the US, racism is treated less as a matter of social stratification with direct implications for political stakes and more as a matter of moral etiquette. it is even more notable, then, that this administration can't constrain themselves to the meager associated standards
