Trump allies at Heritage celebrating the Cornyn cave on Blanche because you actually need both parties to sign off on changing the “settlement.”

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.

'Slapdash reviewer reports and ones that include unnecessary citation requests have long plagued academic publishing, but over the past few years the production of some has become much more sophisticated.'

‘A waste of time for all of us’: caught in the crossfire of the peer-review warsReview mills — researchers who write fake referee reports with coercive citation requests — are setting off a war in academic publishing. What happens to those caught in the middle?www.nature.com

No one thinks that one white man plagiarising means we need to check the work of all white men. That anyone even mildly entertains the inverse thought here does demonstrate how racist many notions of education and intellectual merit still are.

UKHE - despite all its bosses are doing - has brilliance in research+ teaching, sustains communities+ understanding, and offers opportunities to staff + students that go far beyond the (actually massive) contribution to local employment + development. The losses are human. We keep challenging 💪🏼

Those who believe things like this are working hard at not understanding the finite options available to someone whose abuser has not been prosecuted, found guilty, etc. by the law. And how rarely those things happen to abusers, esp. high-status white male abusers.

The Trump family said they were “debanked” for political reasons after Jan. 6—and used that to justify going hard into crypto. Turns out Capital One flagged them for money laundering. And then Blanche wrote the memo shielding the Trump family from IRS audits? Hm.

Moreno statement on Miller. Remember: Max Miller worked in Trump's White House and played a key role in January 6 (if nothing else, as one of the people who talked Trump OUT of sending 10K Guards out so he could march on the Capitol, Julius Caesar like).
