While some elements of AI are genuinely new, the harms it enables are evolutions of those we have seen before, writes Sarah Barrington. It is time to recognize the myth of the “unprecedented” and hold tech accountable, she says.

about UK politics but also of relevance to the other side of the pond: "Good politics also requires something else - a healthy public sphere, in which at least the most egregiously bad ideas and bad actors are subject to sufficient scrutiny that they are weeded out. Which is what we don’t have."

We know all you can think about today is that it's #WorldPeacockDay.

So here's our "Shell Mosaic", which some people claim actually shows a peacock's fan tail. Those people are clearly insane, but it's not World Shell Day, and this is the best we can do.

solidarity with everybody who is still trying to teach at A&M even though the administration wants to make it illegal. the governor and his cronies hate it because they need it and can't shut it down, and it's a place where you can make a real difference.

Noem spent over $200 million in taxpayer dollars to film videos over 2xs last year’s budget.
The money was funneled using a “no bid” contract to an unknown LLC created days earlier and is tied to the husband of her deputy at DHS.

Trump and Hegseth's "Department of War" rebranding is more than just a name. It signals their vision of a force that disdains legality, as if whoever commits the most war crimes wins.

But as new research by @doncasler.bsky.social and @robertralston.bsky.social shows, the change is very unpopular,
Most Americans oppose the ’Department of War’ rebranding
Even 42% of Republicans are no fans of the change.

This has gotten surprisingly little attention — it's not even on the front page of @science.org right now — but it's really hard to describe what the SAFE Research Act would do to US science and scientists without sounding insane

A huge district court victory for the University of California.

District courts find facts. This one found "overwhelming evidence" that the Trump administration has pervasively violated the First Amendment in its efforts to coerce and intimidate the University of California.

More 12th grade boys want to eventually get married than 12th grade girls.

Anecdotally, my 15 year old daughter on dating: "I'd be glad to date, but the boys either are too egotistical, too racist, or both."

www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
12th grade girls are less likely than boys to say they want to get married someday
67% of 12th graders say they’ll likely choose to get married someday, down from 80% in 1993. The decline reflects shifting views among girls.
