I like it: it turns out all the faculty are already represented by the MTA.

More and more people are saying it: UMass Cambridge.

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

It's that time of the year when I decide to try to listen to the Red Sox on the radio as I work and then immediately realize that I cannot focus on either my work or the game.
Maybe I will try again next year, when I have forgotten how this goes every single time.

This is the way

I'm trying hard this morning not to take this as another nail in this country's coffin but it's difficult

Big opinion out of the Mass. SJC this morning on whether Section 230 bars the AGO's claims of unfair trade practices against Meta for addictive design. "We conclude that it does not." www.mass.gov/doc/commonwe...

Jessamyn Chmura ’26 and @danielmedwed.bsky.social have co-authored “The Devil is in the Debris” in the University of Pittsburgh Law Review — the first known examination of forensic fire debris analysis in wrongful convictions, identifying 17 overturned cases.

Writing down your account name in a list.

I had assumed so, but it’s important to take a public stand on this.

Mine is a pro Frances Perkins account. It’s frankly suspicious and telling that others on Bluesky haven’t taken a position yet.

headline: gen z doesn't want your full-time job. They want several part-time roles, and it's reshaping the entire workforce.

This is propaganda.

I think a civil Gideon right is best policy answer, but even that will not address the problem of “Claude told me you should file X motion so if you don’t, I will fire you and do it myself.”

Many judges will be (quite reasonably) loathe to invoke anti-SLAPP-like remedies against pro se plaintiffs. I think there will have to be a cause of action against the LLM companies for unauthorized practice of law or something similar. We need to disincentivize providing briefs-on-demand.

100% that guy is on to something

I just got off a flight and the guy in front of me was working in excel the whole flight. Column A: list of different potato-based foods. Column B: “Taters” (every row the same word).

The work? Highlighting and then unhighlighting the word “Taters” in different rows. Thinking, then rehighlighting.

Your daily reminder that a Walmart exec and the average college administrator have the exact same opinion of unions

Also, if you find yourself saying "it's either George Orwell or Winston Churchill that said..." you should probably take stock before saying whatever comes next.

We can’t afford to alienate anti-union workers if we want to appeal to the working class

Guilt by Solidarity The conviction of Anti-ICE protestors on terrorism charges represents a dangerous new front in the Trump administration's war against the left. Yet it also highlights a longer history: over the past…

Today, @azohra.bsky.social explains how the recent conviction of Anti-ICE protestors represents a dangerous and increasingly common form of guilt by association that is antithetical to collective political action.

I like when conservatives are clear that they regard things like workplace safety as “communism” bsky.app/profile/phil...

Haven’t seen anyone else mention this so: here’s another gross misrepresentation by Sauer in the birthright citizenship argument. He said Pres. Johnson vetoed the 1866 Act because it would extend citizenship to the children of “all domiciled aliens and foreigners.” Completely false.
