Phrenology but make it digital. Cool.
Researchers are now saying that AI can find correlations between facial characteristics and success on the job.

The Economist says that corporations would have a “strong incentive” to deploy this technology when looking at applicants.

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Got it.
Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”

He will continue teaching.

I never realized how important teaching would become. I also didn't realize how much my students would surprise me. As an adjunct, I can teach for the pure joy of it. Check out my latest post.

A New Semester and Three Lessons for New Opportunities
As another semester begins, I find myself filled with anticipation and excitement to meet a new group of students. This marks my fifth year of teaching, and with each passing year, my passion for education and leadership studies only deepens. Teaching is not just about delivering content—it is about building connections, fostering growth, and creating a space where students can develop into thoughtful and engaged individuals.

This is the newsletter I was waiting for and of course @samlmontano.bsky.social delivered. #Disaster news and funny as hell. #GreySky
THERE IS TOO MUCH DISASTER NEWS.

I once again hit Substack's word limit. They've GOT to do something about this 😳

Hopefully I managed to cover the really big disaster things from the past two weeks and gave some space for venting and laughing. #GreySky

With all of the craziness in the USA, I want to take a minute to remember the #SpaceShuttleChallenger Explosion from January 28, 1986. I was in the 8th grade then. I remember my deep sorrow when I realized the crew was gone. 1/2
Challenger space shuttle explosion: Remembering disaster 39 years later
It's been 39 years since the Challenger space shuttle, carrying seven people, took off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center, exploding in mere minutes.

As LA County prepares for more rain this afternoon, it’s crucial for residents in burn areas to take proactive measures to protect their homes and families from mudslides and debris flows, which can pose severe threats to life and property.

You will notice that none of these are about actually meeting the needs of disaster survivors or preventing disasters.

The connection across these four is profiting from disasters whether financially or politically.

1. Spend less money on disasters. This is what the majority of the EM policy in Project 2025 is about. This is what Trump is referencing when he’s talking about the states being in charge of response.

“Emergency management is not just response,” @drlucyjones.bsky.social concluded in that report. “It is developing resilience before, responding efficiently during, and recovering quickly after a disaster.”

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

As we wait for further information as to how the #Trump admin intends to address the “issues” it perceives with #FEMA, #Project2025 is a good indicator of the possible path the admin may take.

Here are the main FEMA-related proposals in Project 2025's "Mandate for Leadership." #EM #GreySky 🧵
