Mike Pompeo has been rewarded with a teaching fellowship at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.

The same school that canceled my class on media, race and international affairs.

Thank you for your courage and for reminding us about this murder & cold blooded dismemberment of a courageous journalist. I can never forget Pompeo’s off the cuff dismissal of Jamal’s fate and Kushner’s divulging of intelligence about MBS enemies in exchange for deal$; all of them put to death!

Ah, my bad. I just opened the link. I was going by the link summary on bsky which made it look like the volume was about transitioning from print to digital (which I now realize is just the <meta> description for Manifold). Critical AI is also a great theme. I'll spread the word!

@elotroalex.bsky.social

Ha! I wonder if there's room for going in the other direction: to transform a digital project into a book because not many people cared for the dh project as a digital artefact. (Thanks for this volume. Love the theme).

"low-stakes programming." Yup. You can even do mid-stakes just fine. My must-haves in this brave new world are: a) post-production automated tests to ensure product is what it says it is; and b) complete separation of production from product (static output all the way).

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal.

As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

Stay tuned for more on this from mainstream reporting hopefully later today, but Bob's got the gist of it; last week, it appears that ICE began disappearing people from the Online Detainee Locator System the moment they get a final order of removal. Yes, this is as deeply screwed up as it sounds.

PSA: you know what scholars love? Talking about their books! You know what you can do? Invite them to your class to do so. It’s great! You absolutely do not have to use AI or tell students to use AI to understand their books. You can get the actual real life person to help with that! For free!
