Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.

Millennials, Gen Y, you are saved!!! Don't want or don't have time to talk to your parents? A startup called InTouch uses AI to check in on them and have a conversation. (Baby boomers, take cover!) https://t.co/u1RHzUTIu1

Hmmm (don't think, just exist). Epiphenomenalism is the idea that our conscious minds serve no role in affecting the physical world. We are like children pretending to drive a car — it can be great fun, but we are really not in charge. https://t.co/WiLISzgBVs

The arguments presented by White House revolve around Biden's ability to win the election, not his capacity to fulfill the presidency for the next 4½ years under precipitous mental decline.

This violates the dignity of the system by explicitly assuming the Prez is a puppet.

@Apple faced a barrage of criticism from people who thought its ad for the latest iPad Pro was a metaphor for how Big Tech has cashed in on creative works.

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

Meet the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we’ve ever created, the most advanced display we’ve ever produced, with the incredible power of the M4 chip. Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.
