Yesterday three NYU colleagues were arrested supporting and observing a student protest. One of those colleagues is now being told that she may not be able to return to faculty housing.

Other colleagues have been declared personas non grata, and cannot come on campus for any reason, including teaching their classes.

This is anticipatory obedience and it is going to get worse.

This is the most important news about disinformation in Europe, I have seen in a long time.

Journalist Richard Sanders reveals how Reuters incorrectly portrays football violence in Amsterdam as being an attack on Jews, when in fact it was a group of Israeli hooligans carrying out the violence.

Trump supporters, when people cut you out of their lives because you support their marginalization and abuse and murder, they aren’t ending your relationship over politics; they’re recognizing that you ended it over politics and are reacting accordingly. It’s that thing you say you love—personal accountability. Live with your choice.
The October Surprise is that the billionaires prefer fascism to slight tax increases, which is not really a twist at all.

Why is the Hollywood Reporter posting fan fiction about generative AI and backing up calling it "a technological revolution" using the guy who co-founded QUIBI???? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/animation-hollywood-labor-talks-1235975926/

The amount of money going to a bunch of white dudes with the savior syndrome in this whole "AI existential risk" scam is unfathomable.

They will truly come up with anything to keep circling money amongst themselves.

People often* ask me if I have a handy infographic explaining the difference between UI and UX.I don't, but I asked AI to generate one. Thanks, Adobe Firefly's response to the prompt "Infographic explaining the difference between UI and UX".

On this national holiday, I'm republishing a thing written in the week before the White Christian President took office. It's a lament, and a vision for a country many have always insisted we were, a country we've never managed to become.
