I used to watch Sunday Morning..no more

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, gutted USAID, which supports some of the poorest people in the world.

Now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo, which USAID could have helped prevent or slow.

When you dismantle the systems that stop deadly diseases, people needlessly die.

[M⚕️ Singh, MD @thinkalot]

Whoa!!! This was plain hilarious...

[Shashank Mattoo @MattooShashank]

"Indians in America make twice as much as American-born citizens. It's because we come from a high trust society with Christian values. But when you get people from foreign cultures based on corruption, they bring it with them," says ex-US Ambassador appointed by Trump on India

I told a student recently that using em-dashes would make her prose more effective. She didn't want to because of this AI paranoia. I love em-dashes and have been using them my entire life, as have many other writers. LLMs train on decades of texts, good and bad. They use patterns that have been working well across the years. LLM detectors make mistakes. And yet we are caught up in this frenzy of fear. Bizarre loop we are caught in.

[Declan Walsh @declanwalsh]

Great and tragic news at once.
Emmanuel, the 5-year old featured in this report, has since recovered and left the Ebola ward, his father told me.
But the lab technician I met in the next ward deteriorated and died last night. His name was Bienfaits.

Ditto for dismantling support systems for people experiencing mental illness, addiction, and homelessness.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Trump says he goes to the doctor whenever he wants because he likes the results.

Millions of Americans skip the doctor because they can’t afford the results.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Meet your new intelligence chief: Bill Pulte, the genius who wanted to bring you the 50-year mortgage.

You remember the 50-year mortgage?

Pulte’s plan to keep you paying off your house until you’re dead, with roughly double the interest, that he reportedly pitched to Trump on a giant posterboard at a golf club. It went over so well that his own White House was “furious” and the whole thing was quietly walked back within weeks.

This is the man Trump just put in charge of the CIA, the NSA, and 16 other intelligence agencies.

A guy with zero intelligence experience, currently under investigation by the congressional watchdog for mishandling sensitive information.

What could possibly go wrong?

I see a lot of charts everyday. Few make me go: THIS IS CRAZY. https://t.co/Y2WTxVbGaf

In my opinion, this is the most important Ted Talk of the last years. At least for parents. https://t.co/1W5dIyi3xx

[Ash Jogalekar @curiouswavefn]

The Leiden Declaration on AI and math is very good and important and goes beyond math to apply to all aspects of AI in science:

"It identifies five major threats: an overburdened publication system filled with unreliable results; failures of attribution and copyright; growing dependence on proprietary AI tools and expensive computing power; the overhyping of AI-driven results; and the risk that mathematics could lose autonomy over its own research agenda."

My favorite place is the Library

[Alex & Books 📚 @AlexAndBooks_]

Just a friendly reminder that libraries are free.

Not “free trial” free.
Not “free with ads” free.
Not “free if you give us all of your data” free.

But free free.

[Paul Halpern @phalpern]

Tributes at Bryn Mawr College to brilliant mathematician Emmy Noether, who spent her final years there. Amongst her many accomplishments, she revolutionized modern physics methods by identifying continuous symmetry groups with conservation laws. The 3rd image is her grave marker

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

tell that to thousands--hundreds of thousands?-- of young aspiring writers, poets, memoirists.

[Michael 英泉 Eisen @mbeisen]

really enjoyed Monet in Venice at the @deyoungmuseum
