By way of preview, here’s my recap of today’s arguments for @thenation. The Republican justices, the men at least, are in the tank for Trump. My question is what, if anything, the American people are going to do about it. thenation.com/article/archiv…
UT Austin published this video for Free Speech Week 6 mos ago. Q: Why can members of the public come to campus at any time and engage in demonstrations A: State law in Texas allows members of the public...to come onto campus and use our common outdoor areas for speech activity
If AI has a future (a big if), it will have to be economically viable. An industry can't spend 1,700% more on Nvidia chips than it earns indefinitely - not even with Nvidia being a principle investor in its largest customers: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=398835… 1/
Sam Alito hates women and you can see it in cases like Dobbs, but you can see it even more acutely in the smaller stuff. He couldn't chew with his mouth closed in yesterday's "unanimous" decision in a sex discrimination case. My latest in @thenation thenation.com/article/societ…
Read my latest, about how foundational anti-vaxxer beliefs - like that illness builds the immune system, masks can harm you, public health is an individual choice, and vulnerable people’s welfare is their own problem- have gone completely mainstream: thegauntlet.news/p/liberals-joi…
3. The surge in corporate profits since 2020 has been fueled, in part, by expanding corporate profit margins. Last year, corporate profit margins were over 15%, a level not seen since the 1950s. This is because the increases in prices for goods and services have outpaced the…
A missing link in the Ronna McDaniel debate? Newspeople aren't just trying to appease Donald Trump. They're trying to appease him by continuing to manufacture a makebelieve middle position that seems politically neutral. It’s not going to work. A THREAD.
25. This “false equivalence” happens all the time. It’s dissembling about “the left” to seem neutral to the right. It warps reality. It undermines public trust. It’s makebelieve.
Today's newsletter: I believe we're reaching peak AI, and that the industry is going to crash to Earth as enterprises and consumers realize the limits and lack of utility of ChatGPT and co. And it's all thanks to Sam Altman's empty hype cycle. wheresyoured.at/peakai/
What's more, while the proposition that "more training data will linearly improve the quality of AI predictions" is a mere article of faith, "training an AI on the output of another AI makes it *exponentially worse*" is a matter of *fact*. 25/
It’s so hard to find new things to say about Trump’s sadism that it has little presence in the press corps' "narrative” about the election. A THREAD.
Katie Britt: Inside the Actors Studio (Points to @FrankConniff for the idea)
RIP the legendary David Bordwell, who has died at 76. His blog is one of the greatest resources on film criticism, analysis, and history: davidbordwell.net/blog/
Uber lies about everything, especially money. Oh, and labour. Especially labour. And geometry. Especially geometry! But *especially* especially money. They *constantly* lie about money. 1/
There is *nothing* you care about that survives a 6-3 Republican court for a generation. Nothing. I don’t know how many times the Court has to prove that to people before liberals unify and act.
My 2nd grader developed appendicitis overnight. The hospital required a $1,463.93 pre-payment in the ER before they would take him for an emergency surgery but no one could tell us how they calculated that amount. Our ER copay is $250 and it’s waived if you are admitted.
The Alabama IVF ruling isn't a legal decision, it's a theocratic bull masquerading as law. The new Christian fundamentalist clergy has left the pews and invaded the courts. We have to recognize what they're doing to stop them. My latest in @thenation thenation.com/article/societ…
The racism behind chatGPT that we aren't talking about... This year, I learned that students use chatGPT because they believe it helps them sound more respectable. And I learned that it absolutely does not work. A thread. 🧵

Laying out the welcome mat for snipers while suspending students. The American university is fundamentally broken.
At UCLA today every single person was wearing an n95/kn95 mask, people walked around making sure everyone was hydrated and wearing sunscreen, people were taking care of each other we’re going to be okay
The “free speech crisis” panic was never about the content-neutral defense of noble principles. It has always been a conflict over who gets to draw the boundaries of what is and what’s not accepted speech. And established elites are clinging to what they see as their prerogative.
Student Revolt and the Curtailing of Critical Speech The violent crackdown on campus protests reveals an alliance between the Right and mainstream elites who are driven by reactionary impulses and status anxieties. New piece (link in bio):
Bad reporting like this convinced people that the Columbia protesters are anti-Semitic crazies. This person has nothing to do with Columbia, is a well-known agitator. And yet a journo snaps a pic outside the gates and uses it to smear the students inside x.com/jakesherman/st…
One sign here at the Columbia protest. This man is ranting about Jews controlling the universe. He has a black face mask on.
Still thinking about this milkshake at Mel’s.
An illustration abt why AI-driven social network feeds will never be anything like news orgs. I revile Jill Stein, horrible impact on American public life. She did not make this Poland comment. Didn't happen. And yet it's still a lead in Twitter's (sorry X's) AI news aggreator.
Liza Minnelli has outlived Cricket, the helpless puppy that Republican Kristi Noem shot to death because the small dog was “untrainable.” The Vice Presidential wannabe also shot a goat that she called "nasty and mean.”
University Presidents who call in the police on their own students should face a no confidence vote. Encouraged to see the faculty at my alma mater @EmoryUniversity calling for accountability.
.@EmoryUniversity faculty senate meeting is packed, faculty members outraged and seeking to censure @gregfenves, moving for vote of no confidence
And also needs to be said: the reason why the death toll in Gaza hovers at around 32,000 people is for the same reason the death toll from Covid during the Biden Admin stays at 800,000: because they took away any capacity to continue to count the dead.
the kids i met offered me sunscreen. they asked if i wanted to paint a poster. if i had enough water. oh and while sitting on the ground on blankets, one told me that she has had family members bombed and killed and she would like that to stop. that’s the universe im on Ethan.
do not be surprised that the generation who flooded the streets after George Floyd was killed & then Marched for Their Lives when their classmates were killed are incredibly organized, educated about how police function, & not intimidated by the complexity of disinvestment. ⛺️🍉
Everybody who is tired of hearing how great Rear Window is, raise your hand! … so we can block you …
I know I’m decades late to the party, but Rear Window is a bloody masterpiece. So layered, so much outside-inside mirroring. JS is perfect in it, Grace Kelly is an angel in it, but the real MVP for me is Thelma Ritter. “Nobody invented a polite word for a killin’ yet”.
Trump would be celebrating Melania’s birthday except he (allegedly) cheated on her with a porn star while Melania was caring for their infant son and then (allegedly) committed several felonies while trying to cover-up $130,000 in hush money payments. ❤️❤️❤️
Trump claims he would be with Melania for her birthday but he has to be in court
listened to an interview with someone at Columbia yesterday who explained that Columbia’s plans to expand (and gentrify) in NYC are backed by an investor whose involvement is contingent on Columbia’s Tel Aviv branch opening.
My main concern with the campus protests isn’t the protests themselves, it is that I do not entirely understand the order of operations here.
