I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sarah Taber

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

David Ho

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

Which Senate Dems STILL haven't signed onto S.4814 to #ExtendTPS #ProtectHaitians? Schiff (CA) Baldwin (WI) Hassan & Shaheen (NH) Heinrich (NM) Kaine & Warner (VA) Kelly & Gallego (AZ) Klobuchar (MN) Fetterman Peters & Slotkin (MI) Rosen (NV) Murphy (CT) & Ossoff (!) HAITIANS NEED US - ☎️✊

Alyssa S.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS & we can still stop it. Please call your Senator NOW & ask that they sign onto S.4814 & extend TPS for Haitians for 3 years. This will be a catastrophe for our neighbors who have been here legally!! Here's the call script! drive.google.com/file/d/1XXEs...

This is terrifying and disgusting. Haitians are being convoked to appointments, to wear ankle monitors from now on to prepare for deportations. And our tax dollars pay for the ankle monitors to line the profits of the GEO Group. investigations.resistmap.com/p/breaking-i...

Americans have more confidence in higher education than in big tech companies, and the gap is growing rather than shrinking. The higher ed-doomsday pundits need to get on board with the real vibe shift in public trust that is happening right now.

Mark Copelovitch

I look forward to all the reports & coverage about all of the internal problems & mistakes of all of these other institutions, in the same way that universities are constantly blamed (& blaming themselves) for “declining trust.” “Compared to what?” news.gallup.com/poll/712436/...

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

Leiracal

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

“For many years, Kolchin has argued that we need to read more and write less”: advice from my father that is more relevant than ever. LLMs remove some of the friction between data and publication, but we don’t need lots more hastily-written papers; we need more carefully considered papers.

1. We—@eduede.bsky.social, @mjcrockett.bsky.social, Kevin Gross, and I—have a new preprint on the arXiv today, based on ideas that emerged during an @sfiscience.bsky.social workshop in November 2024: The unintended consequences of large language models as a labor-augmenting technology in science.

Anyway, happy Monday! The Dean is shutting down my department - Religion & Culture, the only 1 of is kind in the country & home to the innovative Major in Humanities for Public Service. There is no immediate budgetary or political pressure for this decision

Matt Gabriele

one of the most depressing things of the last decade or so is realizing how many friends/ colleagues/ leaders are (a) actually sympathetic to bad faith fascistic attacks (on public goods, education, vulnerable peoples, etc.), or (b) just simply not up to the moment we find ourselves in

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?
