At this point, these kind of stories are just plain race-baiting. We know what this is. We know what this does. We know who makes the Mac and cheese and who doesn’t. Cmon now.

Seems bad for us to build an entire economy on Mechanical Turks.
Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

I’m sorry but there’s no way Larry Summers is teaching 5 classes this semester. How many credits are we talking? There’s no way he’s some fount of unknown knowledge undergrads will be ruined without. Harvard is telling on itself so loudly.

when @dan-sinnamon.bsky.social and I started working on this book, it felt excitingly ambitious to imagine it being used by students at a range of levels in literary studies
...and now we hear it's being picked up by high school teachers, historians, professors of law, and more -- I'm truly floored

All joking aside, the heartbreaking thing about this story is seeing how a white “journalist” with poor prose & worst journalist ethics gets to repeatedly crash out & land plum jobs while so many poor, trans, Black, Native journalists never get in journalism’s door. Like…
How do you land Vanity Fair west coast editor at age 32 after having affairs with two presidential candidates you were covering as a journalist. That is some prime white lady shit.

Thank you, FFS nobody needs reminding that the guy who looks like the anus judge from The Wall “desires desire” ever. Send each other letters with wax stamps or something.

In sorting my own thoughts about the moment, I began writing about the way science is being used by bad actors under the guise of "evidence-based medicine". I also talk about the limits of our ability to fully boil down evidence into axioms that make subjectivity irrelevant.
