I wonder why he's so concerned?

Florida Investigates Whether ChatGPT Helped a Campus Shooting Suspect

@evoroseman.bsky.social Speaking of genetic and evolutionary fallacies...

@laurahelmuth.bsky.social Is this what we're reduced to now? 😕

Specifically, Zimmer's claim that "Further studies may shed light on the roots of warfare in our own species." Abject nonsense! Here's what I posted in the comments, since it probably won't be published by the NYT:

These Chimps Began the Bloodiest ‘War’ on Record. No One Knows Why.

My concerns about the quality of science reporting at the NYT persist. @carlzimmer.com's new piece on chimp "warfare" makes evolutionary claims that I'm certain Zimmer knows are ridiculous. What's going on over there?

What the hell is happening on tv between the Final Four games? Nobody wants this.

Perhaps we can all make it easier by, IDK, wearing some identifying badge or symbol on our clothes??

On what fucking planet does requiring a private organization--or, hell, ANY organization--to turn over a list of its "Jews" to the government legal?

A zissen Pesach, y'all....

I'm also conspicuously not celebrating Trivers. I have standards, after all!

No, but I'd like to hear it!

Uh oh--I'm writing one now! (Hopefully not a bad one, though)

Paul R. Ehrlich, Who Alarmed the World With ‘The Population Bomb,’ Dies at 93

Disappointed that the NYT obit for Paul Ehrlich basically only talks about The Population Bomb. Ehrlich was often controversial, but his role in kickstarting the biodiversity movement needs to be acknowledged!

I mean, he usually was!

Come on! "Silent death" is straight out of the Sermon on the Mount!

Pete sometimes gets to dress up and say big boy things. Give him a break! He gets extra dessert if he does a good job.

Bye bye Kristi--Pam, you're next!

When your mom is too strung out to remember which name she likes better and smashes the top two together...

Maybe it's just me, but the chief of a major news operation probably shouldn't be shitposting at major political figures. Right...?

He should not be given the privilege of being called an "emeritus professor."

I really feel he added his own imaginative touches to the girl who was stabbed. Like he was totally visualizing it.

He has described a lot of murders in vivid detail.

I couldn't rewind, so I missed SO many much bigger eyerolls I couldn't capture. They hated this! Right?

I believe that. I didn't have the stomach to do that myself. Fuck these transphobes for eternity in proctologist hell for abusing these kids.

Also, way to describe a tragic murder with delicious glee.

Sage somehow doesn't seem as thrilled to be there as their parents. Wonder why?

She also slept with a member of her security team.

Not anymore, on either count.

You should be spending 100% of your time, if you actually care, investigating why "liberals" and "progressives" hate trans people. Your article tells us nothing we don't already know, and does nothing to address the problem.

I wish you'd given this to someone with a much smaller chip on his shoulder and a lot more experience. The guy quit before even getting tenure. If you haven't been a multiple PI on grants, refereeing, campus selections, etc., you just don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Tyler Austin Harper is an Assistant Professor of slight accomplishment at a tiny liberal arts college. Yet he has carved out a lucrative niche as a contrarian humanist. One wishes that he had some actual experience to inform the sweeping judgements he makes.

Also, the Atlantic is a fucking rag.
