This is great news, but its insane that public employees have to ask permission from other voters to exercise an essential human right. We need federal protections for collective bargaining in the public sector!

Still marveling at Gorsuch's Ohio v. EPA opinion, in which he confused nitrogen oxide (a pollutant) with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). He did this five times, never once getting it right—in an opinion overruling the EPA's own expert scientific analysis! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

The robot is not a bargaining unit member and must not be given bargaining unit work. Faculty unions should be looking over their contracts right now, figuring out exactly how to grieve or otherwise oppose the introduction of these systems.

and then there would be these really active TAs who needless to say could provide all the human contact needed but could never themselves become the professor (because there could be only one, Best, professor).

One of the reasons TA work is sometimes (AND OFTEN NOT) repetitive lower-skilled tasks is bc these are training tasks for early career scholars. If we automate them and eliminate the positions associated with them, we are explicitly gutting the future of these fields.

Who is writing about the Harlem Renaissance re-revival? Nice to see the stuff in the NYT etc. (and film of Passing, although unfortunately it was not good) but also weird lack of reflection. Zora is out and Nella is in, all the heavy lifts by Hazel Carby, Deborah McDowell et al. seemingly forgotten

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.
