Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I have always loved this 2017 (!) post from Dani Rabaiotti on how/whether to ask a question at a conference. Has anyone seen something similar for how to contribute constructively in department meetings? Asking for a friend. danirabaiotti.wordpress.com/2017/05/15/a...

An NEH Fellowship in 2005 allowed me to write this book, which has informed so much of my teaching about the politics of knowledge.

A few photos from the teach-in organized by @sethrockman.bsky.social in downtown Providence this afternoon.

A sign from a protest against Trump/Musk funding cuts in downtown Providence on March 22 that reads: "CUTTING FUND$? THAT'S A FOUL."

Protestors against Trump/Musk funding cuts hold signs in downtown Providence on March 22.

A paper handout from a protest against Trump/Musk funding cuts in downtown Providence on March 22. It reads:

PURDUE IS GOING TO LOSE
MILLIONS IN FEDERAL FUNDING

ARKANSAS TOO
WHICH WILL ALSO BE A DISASTER FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

McNEESE and ST. JOHNS
ARE ALSO GOING TO LOSE THE FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID
PROGRAMS THAT OPEN DOORS TO STUDENTS

COLLEGE SPORTS FANS:
WE HAVE TO STAND UP IN DEFENSE OF COLLEGES AND THE PATHWAYS THEY
OPEN FOR SOCIAL MOBILITY, THE LIFE-SAVING RESEARCH THEY CONDUCT
ON THEIR CAMPUSES, THE JOBS THEY CREATE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND
THE VISTAS THEY OPEN TO YOUNG PEOPLE.

Protestors against Trump and Musk's higher-ed/research-funding cuts hold signs in front of the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence on March 22. One sign reads: "ASK ME HOW SCIENCE MAKES AMERICA STRONG + GREAT."
