Lost a beloved mentor unexpectedly over the weekend. Such a shock, but at least I know that she knew how important she was to me. Take a minute to tell those people how much they've influenced your life while you have the chance.

This is a global crisis problem as far as I’m concerned. People who say they have historically cared about national autonomy must step up. In years past this would not be a question for the US, regardless of party affiliation.
If Poland, a NATO member, just sustained a large-scale Russian drone attack, that is legit very very not good.

Y’all, I’m sure many of us can see the harm in this. Erasing previous reports and coming out with “your own numbers” is bad, from the Census to climate data to everything in between.

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

Having sat with it for a bit, I'm still struggling with this document.
The document is at once very cautious, and effusive. The text of the guidance itself is pretty good--in fact, I think they point out a lot of ways in which generative AI is a terrible thing for doing history.
