It was good to co-author alongside @clarekelly.bsky.social & Caitríona Leahy & with the input from Harun Šiljak & Norah Campbell. We are clearly not the only ones thinking like this, both within Trinity & beyond, so let's build community to #resistAI

Opinion: We are lecturers in Trinity College Dublin. It is our responsibility to resist AI
Even if all the known issues were magically resolved, we would still not want our students to use GenAI

FINAL: BEARS 31, PACKERS 27

Jordan Love's final pass falls incomplete. The Bears have their first playoff victory in 15 years.

Or not. These ppl helped create the atmosphere in which the Fascists came to power. With their years of dithering, their what-aboutism, their credulity in the face of fact, imo, they're fellow travelers. I'll be happy to be proven incorrect.

I am gonna take a wild guess here that ICE is going to murder folks in blue cities as long as there is no significant push back.

Her mom said she lived with her partner in the Twin Cities.

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do."

“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.

This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland:

"Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."
6 January 2026 Joint Statement on Greenland Statement by President Macron of France, Chancellor Merz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Tusk of Poland, Prime Minister Sánchez of Spain, Prime Minister Starmer of the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Frederiksen of Denmark on Greenland. Arctic security remains a key priority for Europe and it is critical for international and transatlantic security. NATO has made clear that the Arctic region is a priority and European Allies are stepping up. We and many other Allies have increased our presence, activities and investments, to keep the Arctic safe and to deter adversaries. The Kingdom of Denmark - including Greenland - is part of NATO. Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them. The United States is an essential partner in this endeavour, as a NATO ally and through the defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States of 1951. Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.

OUP-Oxford, my dream publisher, gave me pretty typeface, numerous illustrations, footnotes, and a bibliography. Also, the best pink, black, & white cover ever. You know, like an 1890s ice cream parlor, but sex. Also, pink lettering on white on the spine of the book.

PBS used to be my Friday night news until things--like the Atlantic taking over Week in Review--but I still love some of its streaming. I wish these modern-day Huns would quit destroying the few good things we could all share.
