To conclude, I'd like to paraphrase Sara Ahmed: if activism is seen as damaging the epistemic mission of the university, then we need to damage the epistemic mission of the university. And we need to damage it so thoroughly that it has to confront the conditions that structure that mission.

Platner's dismissive comments about sexual assault in the military were so disgusting that a candidate who had experienced assault in the service dropped out to endorse Mills rather than risk Platner getting into the senate. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/progressiv...

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

What a disaster 😭😭
The National Science Foundation has indicated that, as of February 4, 2026, they are not yet prepared to announce their fellowship recipients. While the NSF stated that results might be released in the coming weeks, this delay places both job-seekers and hiring institutions in a difficult position.
