Many faculty have been sounding the alarm about the problems generative AI poses for student learning. Strangely, some higher ed administrations seem have emerged as major AI boosters. Why? As I write in the latest @hedgehogreview.bsky.social it's a labor story: hedgehogreview.com/issues/the-f...

Love it when professors stumble into notoriety by doing nothing but their work.

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

🚢☀️ China has delivered the world's first 10,800-vehicle carrier equipped with a solar power system. The vessel combines onboard solar generation with dual-fuel technology, highlighting how renewable energy is beginning to play a role in decarbonising global shipping.

Astonishing. RFK Jr. adds 8 members to a 6 member FDA advisory panel. 6 of them were sellers of peptides, and the 7th a compounding pharmacist. In an 8-6 vote with all 8 votes coming from these new panel members, the panel approved 4 peptides against the objections of FDA scientists.

Mmhmm. This is almost all vegetables. Grew simple green beans in the yard and my children devoured them like candy. From the store? Won’t touch ‘em.

I would grow the backyard tomatoes myself. But also, dinner parties & travel and yoga and ending at least one great scourge upon the earth. Seems pretty straightforward what one should do if they’re not going to immediately give most of it away (which is what one should do in the end, in any case).

Fully lol. Does that mean I’m older? How does this work?

Hey good news!! (It really does seem to me that if institutions commit to fighting them they frequently back off and it really makes one wish the fight started a lot sooner.)

Wow ?????!!!!!!

What is going on with 30-39 year olds?

You could sing it, oud in hand.

Official monthly data is in today, and US solar power generation hit a new record high, up 21% compared to this time last year!

AMAZING

Slippery slopes only exist in nature. There are no slippery ideological slopes. People are not bound to follow ideas to (contested) logical conclusions and usually don’t. If folks end up in a place ideologically, they’re choosing to be there. They didn’t drop in Goonies style.

“My neighbor is a cannibal who screams throughout the night” is genuinely bloody hilarious whether truth, fiction, sincere belief, pr bald lie. I may just adopt this as a regular non sequitur. It’s fabulous.

There are new sinkholes opening up every day.

Somewhere, there is fanfic 😆 May it find you.

I genuinely thought, from the styling of the poster, that this was a movie I’d missed from the 90s and I still wish it was. Looks like it should be on the shelf at Blockbuster (complimentary), except now I know it’s creepy. Sigh.

I actually think it only works with AOC in top slot. She’s a gifted legislator& a D President will need strength there to move an agenda. We know she’s incredibly effective at shaping agendas& I believe she’d be able to count votes and hold a caucus together to boot. Speaker or Majority leader.
