The final paragraph of this article is so, so bleak:
"The meaning of academic publishing is to have researchers talk to other researchers, and to enable that...If we just have AI models talking to each other, we're wasting everybody's time."

The fact that we have super wealthy and extremely stupid people trying to set themselves up as new nobles has made historical nobility, which I only know from books, far more real to me. These people were not smart, they did not rule well, and rigid hierarchies of domination are very bad.

Also just a reminder if you watch live: I try to take about 10 mins of audience questions at the end 🥰
🚨 LIVE TOMORROW AT 11:00amET 🚨
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May was the lone opposition MP who voted to support Mark Carney’s government in a recent budget vote.
Now, she says that was a 'mistake.'
That's why I've been dying to talk to her. Tomorrow, she's obliging me.

That's it! rip off the blindfolds!
The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

However you want to look at Russian/Ukrainian geographic or historical "rights", this is Putin's MILITARY INVASION.
The Trump admin has been quietly pressuring Europe to not seize the Russian billions for Ukraine. He fully intends to give it back to Russia and likely will find a way to profit himself.

I appreciate this response from a journalism professor, who says that uncritically parroting govt BS in headlines comes from corporate, not them, and is in part calculated to generate engagement by making people angry.
Journalism prof here.
No, this is not taught by us (or at least the mjoroty of us). It is taught by corporate overlords who decide that an accurate headline does not create enough "reader engagement." By creating disingenuous headlines - very often calibrated to be rage bait for your base - 1/

Remember—if you gather an armed mob blocks from the seat of your government at a time it's closed to the public, a crime to trespass on, and accessible only by overwhelming cops, then tell them that unless they "fight like hell" at that building they'll lose their country, it's not inciting violence
