I regret to inform he's doing it again
I haven't read the article yet (a friend texted me to let me know that I was referenced in it) but I gotta say, this whole "mediocre and inadequate white men can't handle their own mediocrity and inadequacy" framing is a real problem.

On a livestream yesterday, Puka both:
- Said that the Refs throw flags that they know are bad to brag to their friends in group chats, and
- Told Adin Ross that he'd do a "covetous jew" celebration on his next TD score
Suspend him tbh

Many issues with the article, but one big thing stands out to me:
It never says white men are 29-30% of US pop. This is vital context for many of its stats. It repeatedly cites stats dropping to the vicinity of 30% white men +/- as if that automatically shows more than changing demographics.

One problem with this take is the number of high profile white millennial men in the media...

the hyper-focus on elite ivies function as a kind of accusation in a mirror. conservative state legislators use anecdotes about what is happening at yale to expand their control over what happens in state schools.
It's so funny--but also annoying--when people make sweeping generalizations about the academic job market by talking about the Ivies, when so many of the actual jobs are at public schools who have hiring rubrics overseen by and dependent upon conservative state legislatures.

Very much reads like they are significantly reducing the influence of peer review on scientific funding, which under the current regime opens the way for more politicized funding instead.
NSF now planning to let POs largely decide what gets funded, and to send PIs reviews that are only 3-5 sentences long. They don't have to use outside reviewers (except maybe 1) and don't have to convene panels. (1/5)
NSF pares down grant-review process, reducing influence of outside scientists

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.

One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.

This is also why you can't just run an election on healthcare costs and hope they don't bring up immigration. You have to fight them on immigration because they inject this Nazi shit into everything.
The White House getting in the Christmas spirit by blaming the most vulnerable members of society for the suffering Trump is responsible for.
