NIH leadership wants to strip worker's rights from the majority of scientists on its campuses.

My book has a cover! IN LATIN AMERICA YOU COULD BE FREE: AN AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY tells the story of the place and promise of Latin America in the political imagination of African Americans and of their movements to the region in the antebellum period.
Out on Basic Books, November 11, 2026! 🥳
Calling it predictive markets instead of gambling and having it available everywhere is irresponsible.
Also the use of a form of predictive markets was one of the signs leading up to the Great Depression!
Columbia President with NEW details:
5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant.
They said they were police looking for a missing kid.
Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid."
A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss.
They ignored him & took the student.
Great choice to watch regardless of genre! Then go onto Legend of Korra!
You can also just want anime movies rather than shows, if you prefer …just watch the Miyazaki catalog (especially his earlier works) on human-environment interactions.
I’m grateful for faculty with expertise and track record on prevention & response plans for targeted harassment. I’m most familiar with @rebekahtromble.bsky.social’s projects researchersupport.org & expertvoicestogether.org - I’m sure she can recommend others for everyone who needs help now
Four men, including two politicians, were found guilty on Wednesday in the assassination of Marielle Franco, a councilwoman in Rio de Janeiro who achieved global renown for fighting corruption and systemic racism and whose 2018 killing set off a lengthy quest for justice.
Complete necropolitics.
Who is more likely to use durable medical equipment? People who are older, disabled, people with chronic illnesses.
They are evil.
Lol, The cycle continues...
OpenAI: "we will save humanity" → humanity are lame robots
Facebook: "connecting people 🥰" → ... to radicalising AI slop!
Google: "don't be evil" → ok but what if evil was REALLY profitable tho
Anthropic: "we're the *safe* ones 🥺👉👈" → lmao sike

I love this! Amazing lab with an amazing mentor!
The UNC Board of Governors is trying to rewrite the definition of academic freedom, restricting what faculty can say & do in their classrooms & in public.
This is a broader effort to limit open inquiry & free debate in higher education.
We know what the aim is. We can’t let this happen.
Maybe I’m in the minority but I really dislike FaceTime (always have). If you want to have a call, and are no auditory issues, then just call me on the phone.
Ahh yes, the cyclical Tourette's Discourse.
Far too often, white folks use disability as a cover for their racism.
WHO KNEW that an #adoption agency would partner with ICE.
Adoptees, that’s who. Listen to adoptees.
The Board unexpectedly postponed the this year’s tenure decisions. “I was shocked and sick at heart to learn that four of my colleagues who did everything asked of them, and who should have been celebrating their achievement, are now in an indefinite limbo without any clear explanation as to why.”
“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”
she did it! her! way!!
lol if white students can bypass graduation requirements because of discomfort with Black and Latino topics, but Black and Latino students can't do the same with topics about white people, isn't that discrimination? 🤔
Living in the time of comic book villains.

Yoon Suk Yeol sentenced to life in prison for leading insurrection in South Korea
The rise of the far right is not a problem unique to the US. Our elite impunity problem, however, seems to be on an order of magnitude worse than a lot of our peers.
"why are you against progress" I yell confidently as my sloppily-implemented algorithms prematurely murder your grandma
BREAKING: We reached a settlement that requires the Trump administration to permanently maintain medical research that had been erased on a government website.
The government doesn't get to censor science.
My students starting singing “We’re all in this together” when they realized Ramadan and Lent are at the same time this year.
🤣😩
Tyra was and continues to be a menace.
Ohhh I didn’t recognize him from Reba! Wow!
