Let's not immediately assume AI is the solution to every problem, especially in health, where AI cause harm and has the potential to amplify existing health inequities.

Let’s listen to communities first.
"It's time for health organizations to center community priorities. AI may not be a part of those -- and that's OK."

Ah, the “look what you made me do” defense. Conservatives have hated universities for decades. DEI is a pretext. And smart people shouldn’t defend authoritarianism because there mad about sensitivity training.

'One devastating thing to me about the streaming era is that we have lost the material reality of the liner note, which actually means we lose an opportunity to understand lineage with real depth' - Hanif Abdurraqib
I had the good fortune of being in the room for this conversation between the brilliant Hanif Abdurraqib and my equally brilliant colleague Prof Matthew D. Morrison.

Could not recommend it more highly. Just a stunning conversation. Watch it.

Because most of them aren’t worried about falling birth rates, they’re worried about control and racial primacy
Mormons (69 percent), evangelical Christians (65 percent), Orthodox Christians (63 percent), Catholics (59 percent) and Muslims (59 percent) are most likely to worry about the impact of low fertility.

Why are so many Americans worried about falling birth rates?

Landlord lawyer just now: "The purpose of an apartment lease isn't to give housing to people who used to be homeless. It's not to get homeless people off the streets. It's to reward people who have earned the right to live in my client's building."

I may break something.

Peace talks between the US and Ukraine have stumbled over one main issue: how to force Ukraine to give up what the Kremlin has failed to seize during the war — the entirety of the Donbas region.
What the US wants from Ukraine: Leave Donbas, one way or another
Kyiv keeps insisting war should be frozen along current lines.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

“Guzmán’s daughter was still in the NICU, unable to eat or breathe independently. The doctors had planned a meeting to review the baby’s prognosis and care plans… As Guzmán went to buckle her seatbelt, she looked out the window and noticed they were surrounded.”
Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention.
Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.
