This speech by @doctorow about LLMs and related generative AI is an original and intellectually thrilling analysis which introduced some new ideas to me. https://t.co/rFbgoJhOcH

I'm just going to assign a lot of reading this term. I know everyone is despairing about students' ability and willingness to read, but I worry about requiring less and less until it's not even clear why we're needed anymore.

If universities should have ideological diversity that reflects the country more broadly, why stop there? Why shouldn’t we have diversity in educational level or literacy that reflects the country too?

Maya Singhal researches how neighborhoods create a feeling of safety across cultures. By looking at how different ethnic neighborhoods create this feeling without official constructs like police, it reveals how social structures help residents feel safe. https://t.co/cV1jrCUrr1

Threatening to “round up tenants” or call ICE because of someone’s national origin is blatant discrimination.

And in New York, it’s illegal. Any company engaging in it will be fined.

Report discrimination to @NYSHumanRights.

Most people assume that data centers pay for the electricity they use, instead of the utility companies passing the extra costs to their customers.

Every state can, and should do this too.

Two weeks ago, a federal judge opined whether noncitizens in the U.S. have the same First Amendment rights as citizens.

“The court answers this question unequivocally, ‘yes, they do.’”

[Vanderbilt Graduate Workers United (VGWU) @VandyGradUnion]

Vanderbilt is among 9 universities
Trump is trying to bring to heel. Our university administration MUST refuse this unconstitutional compact. We call on graduate workers, undergraduates, faculty, and other affiliates of Vanderbilt to sign our petition.

Tron: Aries is just conservative propaganda about how Asian (and Latino) model minority techies can save the world by allying with white men against black women. Really good example of why afropessimism is a theory that comes out of cinema studies

A lot of political education happening at the Nashville airport right now. Not enough. But a lot.
