A mesmerising Penélope Cruz proves once again that she is among the finest actors of her generation in this deeply personal coming-of-age drama. #penelopecruz

"Sacrificing performance to reduce ecological impact seems unlikely. But we need to rethink AI’s use – and fast. [...] By 2030, machine learning training and data storage could account for 3.5% of all global electricity consumption."

“Fundamentally speaking, if you do want to save the planet with AI, you have to consider also the environmental footprint [of AI first],” she says. “It doesn’t make sense to burn a forest and then use AI to track deforestation.”-@SashaMTL ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 https://t.co/5rzAwG7vj0

The value placed on individualism in academia and the overwork that is expected / exploited by learning institutions is a potent brew for imposter syndrome.

[Annina Van Riper @AnninaVanRiper]

"Imposter syndrome is especially prevalent in biased, toxic cultures that value individualism and overwork."

Good tip for finding a gap from Douglas Biber #CL2023

[anna marchi (sailed to bluesky) @journolinguist]

Some maxims from Douglas Biber #CL2023 Lots to think about: “a meaningful gap is something we don’t know AND something worth knowing NOT simply a question that has not been answered before”

We’ve wrapped up #CL2023 and here’s the big reveal for 2025!

A critical reminder in the midst of the Supreme Court blow against Affirmative Action:

Affirmative Action is about *correcting* centuries of historical inequities and wrongs, not about opposing meritocracy.

[Annina Van Riper @AnninaVanRiper]

"A perceived crisis can empower a draconian response[...] There can be redress for actual discriminatory acts, but the idea that race by itself can be utilized as a proxy for achieving social progress is now almost certainly wiped away."

[David French @DavidAFrench]

Harvard and U.N.C. both demonstrate that even supposedly benevolent discrimination can look quite malevolent to applicants, in this case Asians applicants who faced profound disadvantages simply because of their race. https://t.co/8LAJ01xtyM
