University budgets are getting ugly. If you still have funds, you can minimize disruption for junior scholars in affected states by inviting them to give a talk or a visit and *covering their costs!* We can fold our academic wings around our junior colleagues. Let’s not fail them.

I'm not sure about tariffs being unforeseeable when Trump ran on imposing them. Not believing him probably isn't going to be enough.
Pittsburgh-based aerospace company, which sells parts to the major aviation companies, has declared a force majeure in the wake of Trump's tariffs so it can break contract obligations

We know that elephants and dolphins have names for themselves and others (as discussed in www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...). The new hope of a growing number of biologists and computer scientists is that applying AI to animal sounds might reveal what these creatures are saying to each other!
AI decodes the calls of the wild
Artificial intelligence could reveal how animals of the land, sea and sky talk to others of their species.

We do not come to treat with Sauron, faithless and accursed. Tell your master this: the armies of Mordor must disband. He is to depart these lands, never to return.
For the first time, astronomers have captured a clear image of a star beyond our galaxy.
"WOH G64" is a red supergiant star, 2000 times the diameter of our Sun, and appears to be on the verge of a supernova explosion. 🧪🔭

The best Saturday nights are the ones where I fall asleep next to my little boy after story time and wake up at midnight all snuggled together. He won’t be little forever, and I am going to miss these moments. 💕

The news story about that Chinese crypto guy eating the art banana is exam fodder for sure. It’s my favorite art blurb since the one about the guy who drew money and paid for things with it. What a peach :-) #taxprof #contractsprof #bananas

“Did you mean kylo ren syndrome?”
You know the "🔹AI Overview" you get on Google Search?
I discovered today that it's repeating as fact something I made up 7 years ago as a joke.
"Kyloren syndrome" is a fictional disease I invented as part of a sting operation to prove that you can publish any nonsense in predatory journals...

So excited at first because I thought this bit was about adjusted gross income. And it is, just in a more terrifying and interesting way than usual.
Starting to see the first serious economic analysis attempts to grapple with what AGI might mean. I appreciate that this piece embraces scenarios, we don’t know if or when AGI might happen.
But wow that wages graph is something else. www.imf.org/en/Publicati...

A word about DOGE: The Framers rejected the idea that the President would determine the structure of the executive branch. The creation of offices, boards, and DEPARTMENTS to implement law is the job of Congress. Journalists should call DOGE an “initiative” or a “project.” It’s not a department. YW.
