Im begging the NYT to spend time talking to people who actually teach and work at universities. Especially ones that don't have billion dollar endowments.

My issues are AI use, crumbling infrastructure, vanishing staff, unfunded state mandates, a customer service model of education...

All academic institutions will soon realize we are in this together, facing an autocratic ruler who wants to destroy academia, science, and public health (together with media and courts - pick up a history book).

There is only one solution - stand up, speak up, and, critically, collective action.

Something I've been thinking a lot about recently is how powerful abusers don't really need to convince you of any one lie but rather just flood the zone with bullshit to render it "complex" enough that nobody feels confident enough to intervene on behalf of the victim

Redundant temporal regularities could provide strong constraints on musical structure that inform listeners' predictive processes.

Emily Morgan @emilynguist.bsky.social · May 25
We suggest that the phenomenon of perceiving musical meter is not just about rhythm, but is a more general perceptual phenomenon, instantiating complex profiles of temporal dependencies across event timing and event content.

Emily Morgan @emilynguist.bsky.social · May 25
In other words, you can infer musical meter from knowing about temporal regularities in when note onsets will occur, but you can also infer it from knowing about temporal regularities in when pitches are repeated, or when intervals from one pitch to the next are repeated.

emilynguist.bsky.social
Emily Morgan @emilynguist.bsky.social · May 25
These temporal regularities are redundant across multiple features of event content, such as pitch heights and intervals, and how expected/unexpected pitches are.

Music sets up temporal expectations about *when* events will happen. But we find that it also contains rich temporal regularities in *what* will happen!

We show that temporal regularities in event times (when) and event content (what) provide redundant sources of information about music's meter.

Why is @governor.ca.gov proposing an 8% budget cut for @uofcalifornia.bsky.social and @calstate.bsky.social, and why do most Democrats seem to be going along with him? I'm glad you asked!

Woman Reminds Self Not To Catastrophize After Spotting 4 Skeletal Horsemen On Horizon
LOWELL, MA—Doing her best to follow her therapist’s advice for dealing with stressful situations, area woman Holly Debling reportedly reminded herself Tuesday not to catastrophize after she spotted four skeletal horsemen on the horizon. “Okay, Holly, remember: Just because a great trumpet has sounded at the arrival of four unearthly riders, that doesn’t necessarily mean […]

Keep the pressure on.

Never obey in advance.

The Trump administration has restored the student visa registrations of thousands of foreign students studying in the United States who had minor — and often dismissed — legal infractions.

Implementation of Schedule F

This is what a lot of us have been worried about.

This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs.

BUT THERE IS A COMMENT PERIOD...
