Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

Israel is continuing to bomb, starve, torture and displace Palestinians, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity with total impunity in Palestine, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. We cannot turn away or let our governments normalise these abuses.

Joining the XBOX boycott. I have a complicated relationship with Minecraft as a neurospicy Jewish girl in need of a brain-off game, but until Microsoft ends its complicity in Palestinian genocide, I can simply play other games that aren’t connected to defense contractors.

as someone currently finishing: I don't regret doing a PhD because I went in pretty certain that the TT career track wasn't for me, but I did have to contend with faculty who annoyingly took it personally that I had different professional goals despite them agreeing the job market was dogshit
I keep telling brilliant students not to get PhDs not because they aren't capable, but because if I show them the job boards for the last couple of years and the graphs, not even the fabled hubris of an undergrad who wants to be a professor can get through. There are no jobs.

Academics are making the decision to shove unpublished original research that isn’t even theirs into the plagiarism machine. I can’t.
I find this very alarming. AI is being used in explicitly prohibited ways. No doubt this will soon be the norm. The consequences of this will be dramatic. Over the holidays, the publishers and the whole of academic community are doing nothing else but working on a solution to this, right? RIGHT?!
More than half of researchers now use AI for peer review — often against guidance
A survey of 1,600 academics found that more than 50% have used artificial-intelligence tools while peer reviewing manuscripts.

Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.

Wtf. I just carefully read this entire interview with Frances Allen, only to find out at the end that it wasn’t really an interview with her, but was AI generated. “Vox Meditantis” and “Bob Lynn” have lied to me and I will not read their words again.

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.
