Thirty-six years later, we still remember. Fourteen women, killed because they were women. We honour their dreams, their strength, and their right to live freely. We must never stop fighting gender-based violence.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Great idea. Local news matters to people. Don't wait for some billionaire to fund it - crowd source it.
Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.
NEWS:

Democratic mega-donors are debating plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on a range of influencer plans to "find the liberal Rogan."

We've got pitch decks, investor meetings, and internal docs.

One Democrat has a spreadsheet of 26 different proposals.

I'm glad to see so many Upstate SUNY schools represented here, including UB.
Nearly 200 uni presidents sign statement opposing "undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live, and work on our campuses" and "coercive use of public research funding."

If your US institution is not among them (Columbia, NYU, UM), that's a giant 🚩.

Now up: Merritt Bucholz of Bucholz McEvoy, beginning by talking about gothic cathedral roofs and medieval stave churches. Mass timber construction is simple and accelerating globally.

And yes, to answer your question, mass timber HAS been thoroughly fire tested and it DOES meet code.

Outstanding discussion of mass-timber architecture organized by @bcampagna.bsky.social & @dsynergies.bsky.social. First up: William Richards with some amazing examples. One by @groupwork.bsky.social mixes wood and masonry. Timber's lightness and strength can be ideal for adaptive reuse projects.

I love this building. Don't lose this one, Toronto.
Toronto’s Old City Hall (EJ Lennox, completed 1899). One of the most important buildings in the city, now a huge opportunity for reuse as a museum and more. We have to get this right.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

WTH happened to JD Roberts? He's come a long way from his MuchMusic days, and not in a good way.
also can't help but notice that John Roberts, like far too many other MAGA men, now has the complexion of an Oompa-Loompa
Fox News host John Roberts: "If you're gonna trust anybody with rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, wouldn't you want it to be a guy who really doesn't need your money?"
