We are on the cusp of the "Dead Classroom" where teachers use AI to create curriculum, develop assignments and assign them to students who then use AI to complete them after which teachers use AI to assess them. No amount of "training" will fix this once it takes hold. 4/4

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

Please let the GEO/EAR community know: Program Directors and Mission Support who’ve been at NSF under two years were just terminated via Zoom. Even those of us whose offer letter stated one probationary year and whose government data states “permanent”.

Unquestionably, major policy changes, edicts and directives handed down by the new Trump administration will upend lives. But I've also been struck by the widespread efforts to erase/whitewash history. Stick with me for a pretty shocking series of events from just the past few weeks.

Secret order requires blanket access to protected cloud backups around the world, which if implemented would undermine Apple’s privacy pledge to its users.

In case you were worried about PubMed disappearing
@europepmc.org does have all* of PubMed indexed (and indeed partners with PMC for full text) - in addition to other sources (incl. for preprints).
OpenAlex (openalex.org) and Lens (lens.org) similarly include all* PubMed records, as does @openaire.bsky.social (but less easy to filter in webUI)
