A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Quand je me réveille, je lis des nouvelles du monde entier, mais alors que la journée déroule, je reçois des nouvelles des Étas-pas-très-Unis et je termine avec des nouvelles des la côte d’ouest et du Chicago qui sont insuportable. Je préfere bien le matin, le soir me rend vraiment désésperée.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

J’ai vu ce film la première fois grâce à mes parents qui étaient évidemment cool.
Today at The Reveal, I wrote a New Cult Canon entry on SNEAKERS, the surprisingly durable and prescient '90s tech-caper that channels the values of its leading man. thereveal.film/the-new-cult...

Pourquoi « 2 detainees and on person »? Les détenus sont également humain.
“Two ICE detainees were killed and one person was injured at a Dallas ICE facility Wednesday morning and one shooter is dead, police sources tell WFAA.” Local breaking news coverage here:
2 detainees killed at Dallas ICE facility, 1 shooter found dead as police search for possible sniper, sources say
Two ICE detainees were killed and one person was injured at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Dallas, sources say.

Taskmaster NZ as well!
For anyone who needs respite from the news, I highly recommend Taskmaster, an extremely silly long-running UK show in which five comedians compete at absurd tasks. Low-stress, high-pleasure, lots of laughs, utterly disconnected from reality. As your doctor, I hereby prescribe one episode minimum.

I remember being so upset in high school for being criticized for referring to an author as « they » in a paper. This was a journal paper and I was given a first initial and last name (no honorific). How the FUCK am I supposed to know which pronoun to use - guess?
Another day, another whiner complaining that I use the singular "they" in my work, and of course they can go fuck themselves

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

This is just incredibly poor use of AI ad well. Why not refer to student 1, 2, 3, etc at least? Why are you intentionally potentially introducing any unneccessary information? Why are you not concerned about the privacy of your students?
A Common Sense Media study found that prominent teacher assistants that use AI generated recommendations that appeared to be rooted in racial stereotypes based on students’ names. About a third of teachers report using AI weekly, according to a recent survey.
Annie and Lakeesha struggle in school. AI teacher assistants treated them very differently.

Breathtaking! 10 year study shows taking trace amounts of lithium may not only may prevent Alzheimer's but in mice _restored_ their memory (!!). 400m people (inc some of my in-laws) have Alzheimer's. In a screw-you to Trump, Harvard added a big notice that this was paid for by fed funding.
