@ProfBarryLam: "Higher-ed administrators spend money on software as durable infrastructure, like a building, when it is in fact perishable, and so a long term liability. Meanwhile, they treat tenure-stream teaching staff as a long term liability, when it is infrastructure."

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Ohio voters: we want you to protect our jobs from AI, our communities from data centers

This is staggering in both its corruption and the incentive it creates to do illegal things on Trump’s behalf knowing you can get both a pardon and a payout.

The medical community can only scream and shout about the lack of of safety around compounded GLP-1 so much before patients using them just feel gaslit.

They’re down meaningfully amounts of weight, improved their biomarkers, and taken their lives back.

Trump on Iran War:

Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal?

Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

The degree to which I am treated as something between a curiosity and a zealot by colleagues at both institutions where I teach, because I insist that AI has no place in the writing classroom, is dismaying. But I’m not blinking first here.

Supreme Court today: We'll allow Alabama Republicans to change the congressional map in the primary election even though absentee voting has literally already started

Supreme Court last December: November's too late to strike down the GOP's map in TX's March primary election!!

@PoliceThePolic1 Castle Rock case from the Supreme Court showed this result. Its really disturbing but true, there is no duty to protect. Listen to the radiolab podcast about it, it will disturb you to your core. There must be another way we can ensure protection...

Powerful words from University of Pennsylvania students against their university's headlong rush to embrace of AI:

[Victoria Friedman @friedmanohio]

“I now talk about AI with my students not under the framework of cheating or academic honesty but in terms that are frankly existential,” said Dora Zhang, a literature professor at the University of California, Berkeley. “What is it doing to us as a species?”
