The picture is real. I'm not buying into the trending syphilis internet diagnosis, but this does look sort of "please don't touch me or anything I might touch".

Just in case you are still on the "Dean Phillips, Man of Conscience" train:

Ackman is the guy working with Chris Rufo to cleanse higher education of academics.

25 movies per year are added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry. There is some argument over what constitutes a classic vs modern classic and so on as we all come to realize that Pulp Fiction is a 30 year old movie and Jaws is turning 50 next year. 😱

I'm thinking:

Silent Era - kinda obvious
Studio Era/Golden Era - talkies to mid/late 60s
Blockbuster Era/Classic Film - 70s-2000
Modern Classic - Turn of the century to present.

So very much wrong here.

OMG! ROFLMAO!

Doug for the two-fer! 🤣

Pretty sure this one is a campaign amendment for the home district "family farms" that will get shot down, but if not - moar child labor. Yay.

Amendment to make it legal to drop out at 8th grade and go to work on the family farm.

I thought it had been pretty clearly proven that Boeings fall out of the sky because rich guys made money decisions and ignored the smart engineers.

But #Elon "Calipers" Musk is boosting some race science proving white pilots are smarter than black pilots. He then wets his liver like lips in gleeful anticipation of a plane crashing.

Ah, Indiana slithers into the news with a proposed bill to outlaw trans persons, legalize child marriage, and nullify all same sex marriages.

What this means when they pass it and the SCOTUS upholds it is states can nullify legal contracts from other states and same sex couples wake up with all kinds of legal issues around insurance, children, property.

If he keeps this up, he's gonna get her thesis retracted.

PS. Yes, you cite the dictionary, since different ones have different definitions and you go through to the original source listed in Wikipedia to cite the author.

He knows this, but the AI billionaires are in the process of trying to convince governments that they should be allowed to make money off other people's work for free, because when you are AI, they let you do it.

I do love Stephen King's timeline.

Wheeze...

Ann Coulter once again getting it right. Man, I hate that.

Business Insider's parent company is "taking a few days" to investigate "the motivations" of the reporters behind the Neri Oxman plagiarism story while stating that the facts of the story are true.

Not surprising, since Ackman already made threats against Business Insider.

But, why aren't we considering the motivations behind Ackman and Rufo pushing the Gay accusations?

Told ya. They are running text through a large language model. No context, no checking standards of the time.

This isn't about plagiarism. And the idea of an AI startup to continually grind up academic papers.

Well, there had to be a money angle.

#News #CoSoNews #Plagiarism #AI

Kind of nice to see people doling out people's own medicine to them. Finally.

Gloves off.

#Plagiarism #Rufo #HigherEd

I guess we shouldn't be shocked anymore, but damn.

#Trum #Iowa

Well, this seems like it was a bad call.

Mr. Calhoun should go to jail. People go to jail for endangering fewer lives every day.

I used to be one of those road warrior types in airports. I always wear my lap belt while seated, really because of sudden turbulence.

Also, apparently, because a section of plane can just blow out. 😱

Good grief, Boeing. Please go back to listening to your engineers.

This was a three month old 737 Max.

Ackman, appropos of everything, wrote this back in 1988. He's angry that his Goldfinger plan got exposed before he could execute the final blow. Because, like all Bond villains, he had to do a monolog and victory dance so the world would know it was him.

Ackman is learning all about change logs, versioning, citation and copyright. He's discovering people research, curate, cite and update and it's all tracked to the comma.

He's learning by having folks point out how it works.

See, this is the same issue Elon has. Having money doesn't make you an expert on other people's fields or even smart. It just means you have money.
