CA law requires employers to provide tools unless workers earn double min. wage. Many growers and contractors ignore the law despite farm workers making far less. With a union contract they can stand up to the bosses. Make your donation today. act.seiu.org/a/tools?ms=b... #WeFeedYou

I'm hoping to find accommodations for my former master's student at #Psychonomics2026! If I can find him a hotel roommate, that would be really transformative, as he is applying to PhD programs this year and he deserves the best Psychonomics experience on offer :) Hmu if this could be you!

New preprint: In Ukrainian, several approximating devices can stack on a single numeral, and the result conveys the same interval as one device alone. I argue that a numeral introduces the resolutions it can be read at, and that approximators operate on that set the way indefinites and definites do.

Restricting resolutions: effect-driven semantics of numerical approximation

Approximators such as *approximately* or *exactly* have been analyzed either as operators that manipulate a numeral's denotation, or as devices that select a granularity level at which the numeral is

Incredible scenes from Meta. Apparently you can prompt inject their Muse agent into giving you a root shell on the box it's running on by roleplaying that you are actually the Muse agent itself.

Offered some thoughts here on who's getting vouchers, and what it means: "You can make the subsidy universal without making access universal, and that's what new programs have done."

theeduledger.com

Most Indiana vouchers now go to families earning over $100,000

As the state expands voucher access to all students, new state data show the program’s income-based awards shifting increasingly toward higher-earning families.

Every single journalist reporting on this as an ÉQ issue INSTEAD OF an obvious issue with 96—esp given the unlinked 'document shared with CTV' was a PUBLIC doc up since April—needs to read up on 96. This is a bad law issue: ÉQ is in a bad situation, while lawmakers get to shrug off responsibility.
