Damn. NSF has gone with the "real world" trope. Things are bad in DC. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USN...
NSF partners with universities and industry on pilot initiative for four-year Ph.D. programs with real-world research placementscontent.govdelivery.comLast Fall quarter, Xavier Basurto and I co-taught a seminar on human ecology for our first cohort of EBS PhD students. I wrote some longish notes in the discussion section of class Canvas site. I thought about one of these yesterday and thought I might recycle them as blog posts. My first:

McSweeney's"Writers have been using me long before AI. I am the punctuation equivalent of a cardigan—beloved by MFA grads, used by editors when it’s actually cold, and worn year-round by screenwriters. I am not new here. I am not novel. I’m the cigarette you keep saying you’ll quit."
Tell me you are surrounded by sycophants and yes-men without telling me you are surrounded by sycophants and yes-men.

This is reassuring. Living in Palo Alto, it's easy to miss the scale of this flop. I see them every day and, in fact, one was parked behind our house most of the day today. Palo Alto, of course, is a very strange place.™️
Robert Evans (the Only Robert Evans)bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.

Right Wing WatchMAGA cultist Eric Metaxas was outraged by seeing an air quality alert triggered by the Canadian wildfires that suggested people limit outdoor activity: "How dare they say that. Who has the right to tell me or you or anyone anything? It's a free country. I can do whatever I want."
This is important. Makes you wonder why they are producing misleading material? Overall, Democrats would do well to pay much less attention to the consultants, who are always urging caution and regression to the mean. Massive problems require bold solutions and we face some doozies right now.
Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they)I'm finally digging into the cross tabs underlying the @searchlightinst.bsky.social memo telling Dems not to talk about climate change. It surprised me, but may not surprise you, that the memo lies about what US swing voters actually said in the polling. Let's have a look, shall we? 🧵
