A complete history of One Nation’s f lame-outs

Fun fact: Australian marriages are only legally binding once parents of the couple do the Nutbush.

Is this about Geese

A shaggy little prawn.

Regular reminder that the literal 1st full conversation in ALIEN is a contract negotiation, & that everything that goes wrong throughout those movies happens because the Weyland-Yutani Corporation programmed all of its "AI" systems to put any possibility of profit over & above the lives of the crew.

Why do we even bother with endnotes--this is my personal pet peeve as a historian, I need to read the spicy, sassy, whiny footnotes immediately

Please tell me her sleeping style is now much larger drunk bird.

Honestly not the worst chicharito to have at the table.

I always want to talk about it in teaching philosophies, but suspect readers will only pick up on the sex bit.

This! Some of the clearest thinking on what we’re doing as teachers.

I bet there’s one little pea right at the bottom. For the Times.

Hello! I'm glad this is making the rounds, as sometimes it feels as if we're pretending the so-called hallucination problem has gone away. It hasn't. It won't. But more importantly, this poses a particularly pernicious harm for education that I think is not well understood. So, a short thread...

Why is this presented as short bullet points?

Practice what you preach and bury this advice in a the middle of Finnegan’s Wake.

Just spent a workshop looking at the Anthropic/Dept of War case, and yep…

“No matter how you feel about AI…” is so directly an Altman marketing line.

Snyder connecting the dots between midterms and Iran war, but he’s treating Iran as the only conflict going on. US govt has been pushing “war” in the Americas for longer: drugs as WMDs, smugglers as terrorists, bombing civilian boats as protecting the homeland. The govt already had its pretext.

Whether talking organized crime or international politics, removing a leader doesn’t automatically trigger regime change.

A part of me thought this might actually be about nuclear submarines. Instead it was a reminder to take the train, if you can.

I have a bad feeling about this

The DNA Archive Built to Identify the Border’s Missing Has Vanished The Colibrí Center for Human Rights was a vital link between families and their missing loved ones. But now it's gone dark.

Sharing this newly published investigation, coreported by me and a colleague. The DNA database crucial in migrant identification in the borderlands for years has itself gone missing. Co-published by @theborderchronicle.bsky.social and @highcountrynews.org

My students read Arendt’s “Lying in Politics” a few weeks ago. She talks about US govt deceptions during Vietnam getting to the point where the only ones deceived were the official themselves.

US people could see what was happening, rival nations could see what was happening…

The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm.

This is such a sad and pointless act. The farm was raided and torched, the bombing (of the ruins) came later and for the cameras.

Destroying farms pushes people out of the licit economy and leaves fewer alternatives to getting involved in illicit economies.

Sure sounds like the only jobs left will be with Uber.

To be clear, if there were toxins in my beer one day that hadn't been in beer at the same pub the day before, I think I'd want to know.

These aren’t AI firms, they’re defense contractors. We can’t let them hide behind their models From Gaza to Iran, the pattern is the same: precision weapons, chosen blindness, and dead children. The cost of failing to regulate AI warfare is already too high

"Blindness is useful: it creates deniability, it makes the violence feel inevitable, it moves the question of who decided from a person to a procedure."

Just arrived: MAKING A CAREER IN DICTATORSHIP.

Featuring original visualizations throughout, the book reconstructs an entire military organization using career data from 15k officers.

A deep dive into how the security apparatus in autocracies really works.

Excited to finally hold it in my hands.

These sound exactly the same as the drone strikes sometimes used by criminal orgs in Mexico.

Of Presidential Power and Prison Riots in Guatemala A wave of violence inside and outside prisons drew attention to President Bernardo Arévalo's fragile political balancing act between the gangs and a corrupt political class.
