I TAed for four years and this is both infuriating and predictable. Non-tenure staff (TAs and adjuncts especially) are treated as disposable by many universities, which means that the people often doing the bulk of the work have minimum protections.
Justice for Mel Curth/May she get an offer soon.

Trans graduate assistant Mel Curth has been removed from her position at the University of Oklahoma after a Christian student complained a failing grade she received in a psychology essay – because she cited the Bible rather than empirical evidence – was a violation of her right to free speech.

I've said for years that Twitter has become nothing but a hate site and a vector for harassment.
And now it's a doxxing tool.
Get the fuck off of Twitter, now. And pressure the organizations you work with to get off.
It's a danger to everyone's safety.

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.
Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

Our findings suggest an association between COVID-19 and risk of mental disorders, as well as the prescriptions for psychotropic medications. It is imperative for individuals to become vigilant of mental health problems that may arise following COVID-19.

The fallout from Carney's ~masterful gambit~ with Alberta continued today, when the Assembly of First Nations voted unanimously for it to be withdrawn.
All the while, Alberta has already found a new fight to pick with Ottawa (coincidentally, right after Danielle Smith was booed over the deal):

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

We Refuse: Health Workers Against Involuntary Care is now public.
@hrna.bsky.social and DSDP are circulating a joint statement opposing BC’s plan to expand involuntary drug treatment. This approach is ineffective, increases overdose risk, violates autonomy, and harms marginalized communities.
