I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

OpenAI should absolutely sue DeepSeek about how bad it is to use other people's intellectual property to train AI. Then, every news organizations and authors with a registered IP online should copy-paste the entire lawsuit, word by word, calling out OpenAI for doing the same.

What happens when something gets hyped, valuations soar, and then a negative headline sends everyone heading for the hills in a panic?

Oil paining showing three people on a boat during the day. One old white man wearing a black top hat sits on the left and looks at a white kid weaing a straw top hat who stands in the center of the boat holding a line, looking into the water as he fishes. to the front of the boat on the right a black man is lying down on his side and taking a nap on the boat with his arm above his head. The boat seems to be anchored.
Close up, higher resolution capture focused on the boat and the characters of the painting.

People lined up on bikes in a Paris protected bike lane waiting for the light to change.
Paris definitely wasn’t always this way. And the change wasn’t magic, or even hard. This is very recent, and it just took vision and leadership. Your city could choose leadership too if it wanted to.

More pushback: Colombia will stop accepting deportation flights from the United States until the Trump regime provides a process to treat Colombian migrants with “dignity and respect.”

Si. Me acabo de enterar que entre el verguero de "executive orders" una decreta que los edificios federales van a tener que adherirse a un estilo arquitectonico "clasico", which probably means algo asi -

Funny how 20 years ago the USA invaded Afghanistan to depose an anti-democratic religious fundamentalist government and now, 20 years later, both countries are run by anti-democratic religious fundamentalists. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
