In case there was any doubt about where big tech stands.
Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.”

BREAKING: Here’s the 60 Minutes Segment Trump and CBS News Executives Don’t Want You to See
Hours before it was set to air last night, CBS News executives pulled the segment, but Canada’s Global TV app received it prior to broadcast.

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.
I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

Inhumanity in new ways every day
DOJ tells prisons: Safeguarding trans prisoners now optional. In a grotesque new memo, the Trump‑led DOJ has told prison inspectors to stop enforcing anti‑rape safeguards for trans and intersex inmates, basically turning any safety net into Swiss cheese overnight. boingboing.net/2025/12/08/d...

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

BIG NEWS, FRIENDS!
It is a quirk of the writing life that while you are finishing the current book, you are pitching the next one.
I am delighted that I will be working once again with Kathy Belden at Scribner, and returning to Civil War studies (and Texas!) for this exciting new project.

The fact that TPUSA posted the entirely reasonable comments from the instructor here as coming from the “TRANS PROFESSOR” gives away the game.
They’re not defending students, they’re targeting faculty — as always
