Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.

One of my favorite things that happens in academia is when one academic name-drops another academic who they think is super famous & the third academic (who is supposed to be impressed) says, nonchalantly, “Who’s that?”
Every time this happens I feel joy, even when I’m the one name-dropping.

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

I'm always amazed that these so-called pro-life people who want to increase the birth rate try to limit things that would actually increase the birth rate -- like IVF.
MAJOR UPDATE: Speaker Mike Johnson is working behind closed doors to strip IVF coverage for all active duty members of the military.
Will the self-proclaimed "Father of IVF" Donald Trump swoop in to save it?

Mike Johnson works in secret to strip IVF health coverage from defense bill
The speaker is working behind closed doors to remove a provision from the National Defense Authorization Act that would mandate health coverage for in vitro fertilization for all active duty military.

What does this facial expression mean? An urge to cuss somebody out? Pride that i didn’t cuss them out audibly? Confidence that I’ll somehow make it to the end of classes?
