Strange victory / strange defeat.

We went from “what good are the humanities?” to “suddenly, no one can read” in about a year, and the answer to the first question is the disinformation and lack of critical thinking you see all around you. *That* is why you need the humanities. This is what they prevent.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

A guy who makes $8 million a day off the government thinks seniors getting $65 a day they worked their whole lives to earn is a “ponzi scheme.”

Protect Social Security. Fire Elon Musk.

@ejbowlin @annettedittert Cooler heads who want peace don’t post trump Gaza AI memes. That’s not a serious group of people. Sorry. Global war is just as likely to begin there

I'm considering teaching a seminar on fictional and non-fictional versions of Faust. Under what circumstances does someone sell his soul to the devil?

Ich habe noch nie einen US-Präsidenten gesehen, der den Staatspräsidenten eines anderen Landes so respektlos behandelt. Donald Trump ist seines Amtes unwürdig – und unsere Welt in großer Gefahr. Wir erleben eine Zeitenwende in dunkle Zeiten.

My partner tonight: “imagine how T and Vance talk to their wives and children.”

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly.
And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

[DREW DANIEL @DDDrewDaniel]

unsurprising and telling that Trump/Vance macho posturing always reveals itself as insecurity- complaining in front of the TV cameras about "disrespect" doesn't show strength, it shows a cringey ego-driven fragility that shouldn't be a part of a foreign policy conversation

I've asked Angela Rayner to make sure the Renters' Rights Bill finally fixes renting. Join me in demanding three key changes to the bill, so renters can finally get the security and stability we deserve. https://t.co/UMzeiEqWRZ

I am grieved by the coarsening and cheapening of the world. It is everywhere, in our language, in our clothing, in our cities, in our manners. Please resist it, at every turn, with the ancient warrior spirit of courtesy--living fully, graciously, and with strong heart.

I can’t stress enough how much AI is ruining the internet. Pinterest is un-usable, Google image searches are overrun with misleading slop. It’s estimated that there are now more bots on the web than there are people. We have seen a wonderful thing destroyed in our lifetimes.

[Mal Ahern @malahern]

I often tell students using LLMs to write papers is like going to the gym to watch a robot do bench presses. “I’m saving so much time.” On what??

Heartbreaking (and heartwarming) coverage of the fightback against plans to axe the School of Music by @Cardiffuni bosses. Produced by student journalist (and CU Music allumnus) @BessantDavies

The more relevant Latin theological phrase is not ordo amoris, but libido dominandi - the lust for domination, a favorite phrase of St. Augustine's. Political spite, glee over the despair of others, "owning" others, trolling others, etc, are all born out of this impulse.

@JaniceBrauner @MikeBenzCyber Physician, heal thyself — hi Jan, I read through your account just now after you commented on the Princeton PhD student’s story. I agree with your comment above. You have a choice now, each day, in how to treat those alive at same moment as you. And your story matters too

The @cardiffuni Vice Chancellor is on an eye-watering £290k a year.
She refuses to take a pay cut even as she decimates her workforce and guts the University of world-leading departments and programmes.
Executive pay in HE is an absolute scandal.

Einstein argued that science education without a complementary humanities course of study would lead to students “who would more closely resemble a well-trained dog than a harmoniously developed person.”

When the Vatican explains AI better than Big Tech. "Even as AI processes and simulates certain expressions of intelligence, it remains fundamentally confined to a logical-mathematical framework, which imposes inherent limitations. Human intelligence, in contrast, develops 1/
