Remember this image every time someone tells you that protesters are "hurting their cause."
Those people are the red bars. In 40 years, we'll look back at them the same way.

After months of reporting and research, I’m really excited and proud to publish this series on AI and energy. It’s a deep look at AI’s energy requirements, where that energy mix comes from, and its carbon debt.

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

You can tell bathroom bans are 100% bigotry because they fulfill literally no other purpose
It's so wild! I watch LBC on YouTube sometimes, and this week has been all a bunch of TERFs calling in to say now women can be safe in woman only spaces, but they have no answer to the question "what's to keep cismen from claiming to be transmen to gain access to woman only spaces?"

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job
This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

All academics are not the same. The way Black, Brown, and Indigenous academics are treated is shameful.
