my colleagues in the natural sciences (and mathier social sciences) can correct me if I'm wrong but my impression is that if you produce a result of field defining significance your chances of getting a tenure track job are still pretty good

The article resonates well with my impression of the movie theconversation.com/the-odyssey-...
theconversation.com
‘The Odyssey’ is a striking portrait of the psychological wounds that can emerge when people violate their deepest values
Christopher Nolan turns Homer’s legendary warrior into a case study of moral injury, a condition that often appears in war veterans who struggle to forgive themselves.

‘…People using the AI apps don’t realize how much energy they require, said Sasha Luccioni, 1 of the researchers. “There is a disconnect… We talk about ‘the cloud’ as if it were immaterial. People using these applications don’t imagine a data center—a 4-story building as big as a football field.” 🔌💡

The AI explosion means millions are paying more for electricity
Across much of the eastern U.S., electricity bills have jumped. The reason? Data centers required for AI and other tech wonders are driving up electricity demand.

Two Trump appointees on the D.C. Circuit panel blocked Boasberg from even INVESTIGATING contempt of court related to the March 2025 flights to El Salvador. The dissent: "Without the contempt power, the rule of law is an illusion, a theory that stands upon shifting sands." Opinions buff.ly/4kr3ALC
"Contempt of court is a public offense, and the fate of our democratic republic will depend on whether we treat it as such. In the many forms in which it can be committed, contempt degrades the power that the People, through their Constitution and Congress, gave the federal courts. Without the contempt power, the rule of law is an illusion, a theory that stands upon shifting sands. For contempt offends not only the authority of whichever judge has been subjected to such incursions, but it also offends our system of governance. Addressing contempt is, therefore, a responsibility that is part and parcel of the court’s duty to interpret and apply the laws of the governed."
