good lord

yes. that whole department suffered for many years bc of him, especially the other grad students. I don't know what it's like now, but they did recruit a dept chair from outside Yale, and I'm hoping things are better for the lecturers, students, asst profs

One frustration I have with AI discourse is that critiques of Bender et al's "Stochastic Parrots" often are only about the "parrot" part. The article covers more than that, including concerns about linguistic hegemony
Just a reminder that the UC system was not a party in this litigation. Faculty, staff and the @aaup.org fought on their own. UCLA, and the entire UC system, should be ashamed of themselves, and their leaders should be reminded of their submissives every day.

I know you know it viscerally

I thought of them and wondered if he was in the files too

this is a very common response to accusations of sexual harassment or bullying, sadly
Given the horrors perpetrated by DOGE etc, it may be hard to rouse sympathy or anger about the cancellation of all active @nehgov.bsky.social grants last April. However, numerous lawsuits pend, and the latest from the judge in NYC is a doozy! /1

he cannot explain himself without saying straight-up klan shit and he knows straight-up klan shit is a problem. Good on Sen Murphy for nailing him to the wall

We all knew he was horrific and admin at UT kept supporting him. Now this revelation makes me even more enraged
This is some genuinely psycho shit...

Whoah

Back in the day when Arianna Huffington’s husband ran against Feinstein for Senate, there were bumper stickers that said “Diane make him spend it all”
This is a huge deal. After years of leading in fundraising, Dem small donors are (rightly) pissed off at the spam texts and emails, as well as at congressional leadership. Meanwhile, GOP billionaire money is hitting record levels. Perfect storm.
