Love this framing: "AI isn't replacing workers. Employers and executives are replacing workers with AI."
"When it comes to stand-up, people want to show up and have an experience with other people." @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social shares why he thinks that, ultimately, AI can't win when it comes to comedy #AfterTheCut

At Johns Hopkins, a once-robust diversity office has quietly withered, shrinking from 14 staffers to three, pausing programs for underrepresented scholars and restricting race-based initiatives on campus. The disappearing diversity programs at Hopkins:

This has been a long time coming, so much so that we've been working on it for more than a decade, albeit off and on as we sometimes had to target other more pressing issues.
