White Americans prefer “celebratory” Black history - uplifting stories about famous Black Americans. But when randomly assigned to a critical Black history lesson, a “celebratory” Black history lesson, or a control condition, it’s CRITICAL history lessons that increase perspective-taking. 2/3

Just tried the Microsoft similarity checker on a manuscript draft I’m working on.

When I saw it found two passages, I got nervous! Then it showed me them: article titles from the reference section. Phew.

But what about the 40+ other articles?

This is a great take on language by one of its best users.
Nobody ever pronounced a name they encountered in a book wrong. They just might have pronounced it differently to other people.

Big gender difference on economic outcomes of children born into poverty in 🇺🇸

Rural boys earn more than urban boys, due to a higher proportion of 2-parent homes in rural communities.

Meanwhile rural girls earn less than urban girls, explained by a higher adherence to gender norms.

I think it’s notable that some of the first real limits on the use of generative AI were brought to us by labor. Not Congress. Not “ethical” AI shops nestled inside big tech companies. A union.
One of the best parts of the WGA deal: AI has now hit a brick wall in Hollywood, *and that includes adaptations.*

Based on the deal, AI can't be source material. So if you're a publisher, AI novels or graphic novels or whatever just became that much less appealing because *they can't be optioned.*

I think the most heartbreaking piece of this is that the math they are eliminating is required to major and professional succeed in STEM fields. You don’t fix pipeline issues but just removing the pipe!

Brian Conrad, Stanford Prof of Mathematics, on California’s proposal to not teach algebra until high school:

“When only the children of families with resources beyond the public schools are gaining preparation… public education is failing in a primary duty.”
California’s Math Misadventure Is About to Go National
The fight over math in the Golden State’s public schools is likely to spread across the country.

Dan Ariely and Francesca Gino became famous for their research into why we bend the truth. Now they’ve both been accused of fabricating data.
