Hampshire College is closing, and hundreds of staff & faculty are facing sudden job loss without severance.

As the editor of a book on this list, allow me to say again that book banning is a catastrophe for freedom of speech in America. There is no silver lining. It's all harm.
You can fight back by calling your reps to demand they vote against HR 7661, which is effectively a national book banning bill.

“Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.”
This is why we should fund science. 🧪

NEW: House Judiciary Cmte Dems launch probe into Jared Kushner
Inquiry: "You are now reportedly participating as Special Envoy for Peace.. At the same time, you're soliciting billions of dollars from Gulf monarchies for your private business ventures"

Our paper (below) showed that AI auto-complete writing assistants can shift your attitude about the topics you write about. But @advaitmb.bsky.social was wondering: what in the writing process triggers this shift? He set out to investigate in our 🥁new #chi2026 paper🥁. Spoiler: mental hijacking. 1/
When I attended, the Geneseo History Department prepared students to succeed in doctoral programs at Georgetown, Maryland, William and Mary, and NYU.
Its cost is roughly the same as it was twenty years ago.
"Defunct startups are being liquidated for their Slack archives, Jira tickets, and email threads—operational exhaust that AI labs now treat as premium training data."
seriously hope when dems get back in power they go after every single fuck involved with DOGE
Actually if you want more babies the answer is to convince men to *actually* do 50% or more of the work to raise them (including the mental work)
That’s it, we’re all done, this is the definitive take on AI, it’s so good that it’s what AI will give you one day when you ask for the definitive take on AI, only it will add some errors and flat, dull language.
Dilley is evil and must be closed. It's a goddamn concentration camp. A moral abomination. People are going to Hell over this.
Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
And since everyone seems to be using this thread as an excuse to shame people who use self-checkout I am going to say yet again: you don’t know people’s lives, their needs, and why they make the choices they make. You’re not a saint and you make your own choices other people don’t approve of.
We’re hiring!

Very much looking forward to serving as one of the keynotes for this event at Penn State's Consortium on Moral Decision-Making. Lots of great talks and a chance to hear about some exciting new books at the intersection of moral psychology and moral theory. #philsky #socialpsych
On Yom HaShoah, I am once again forever grateful that the Holocaust education I received - including from unbelievably brave survivors who jumped off trains to Dachau & lived through other miracles - taught me that the whole point was Never Again For Anyone. Not just Never Again For The Jews.
Now, you might say, "What about all the knowledge we'd lose if we push all the abusive geniuses out of academia?!"
But I'd counter and say, "Well, what about the knowledge we've already lost from the budding scholars whose careers they've derailed with their abuse?"
ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign.
Pass it on.
Again, if you have a Substack, the best time to switch away was months ago -- but today's the second best time.
New, from me: American taxpayers will spend billions of hours and hundreds of billions of dollars — not to pay their taxes, but to report them to the government.
Thank Trump, who killed Direct File, a free tax high-quality reporting tool that IRS had built. 🧵

“As of March 2025, victims from 66 countries were trafficked into online scam centres, with no continent left untouched.”
Again: when you donate to shady accounts online, that money very well could actually be going to fuel slavery. I do not believe it’s worth the risk.
I think another reason many Americans Feel Bad About the Economy:
There is a constant barrage of information indicating to the casual observer that people who run scams and lie and refuse to play by the rules aren't just going unpunished, they're *making way more money than you are* as a result.
A photo of a white lighthouse with a black top standing among green trees and palm plants during sunset. The sky features strikingly layered, wavy clouds with shades of blue and yellow.
One of the most surreal skies I have ever witnessed, as vibrantly blue undulatus asperatus clouds rolled over the St. Mark's Lighthouse at sunset to create this dreamy scene. #Photography
