Elise Stefanik is scrubbing photos of herself accepting awards from the vile Young Republicans caught in the Politico group chat. She supported every single one of them in New York State.

I especially appreciated this point - we can flight for democracy in ways that play to our particular strengths or positions, while building solidarity
Colleagues have joined AAUP chapters and supported campus labor struggles; challenged politically-motivated deportations of students; and opposed federal cuts to science grants, DEI initiatives, and university employment. They are joining litigation efforts beyond campus to defend people from criminalization, deportation, and other forms of legal repression. In all of this, it is essential that we build solidarity with people engaged in direct confrontations with state carceral and economic power.

I feel like if your office hires the sort of staffers who fly swastika flags, even if you do not explicitly endorse it, it still says something about you.

EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Police are investigating a swastika found in GOP Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

“The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms," Taylor said in a statement.

It's tough to explain exactly how nutty this new report from fossil fuel industry consultant Wood Mackenzie is, but I'm going to try in a short thread.

As you can guess: 1 trillion barrels of oil is...............................A LOT

How AI can unlock an extra trillion barrels of oil
And deliver the volumes needed to meet resilient demand

Stronger-for-longer oil demand will heap pressure on the upstream industry to deliver new supply. I asked our subsurface experts, Dr Andrew Latham, Orla Marnell and Josh Dixon how artificial intelligence can identify opportunities to meet the challenge.
Why do we need to unlock new supply?
The slow pace of the energy transition means that oil demand is likely to be far more resilient than some thought just a few years ago. Wood Mackenzie forecasts annual consumption won’t peak until the early to mid-2030s, and cumulative demand will be almost 1,000 billion barrels through 2050.
Firm demand throws the spotlight onto where new supply can be sourced. Production from assets already onstream or justified for development will gradually decline under current investment plans from just over 100 million b/d today to 50 million b/d 2050, cumulatively 650 billion barrels. That leaves a huge supply gap of 300 million barrels.

OBVIOUSLY their AI can't actually unlock even a small fraction of this volume.

BUT it can unlock *more than what they get now*. It matters that they now have zero shame in using blatantly absurd numbers

I have this theory that the AI-tech bro faction of the Trump admin thinks they can get rid of FLAS language training because AI automatic translation makes knowing other languages unnecessary. Which is nuts but here we are. It’s probably not that deep, I know, but it’s a hunch.

One casualty in the Trump administration’s war on higher education is federal funding for area studies. This harms students, scholars, and U.S. national security.

It also comes at a time in which political science and area studies are more compatible than ever before. Read on for new research!
