Sugarcane farming is one of the most environmentally destructive forms of agriculture in modern history. Few crops have inflicted more ecological damage than sugarcane. From deforestation to water diversion and toxic runoff, its impact on the environment is staggering. And
it’s still sugar.

NEW: Nathan Albers once co-owned a company that schemed to hire and conceal undocumented workers. Now his company could make hundreds of millions from work on the nation's largest detention camp. “The irony is thick,” said a former DHS official.

Forget reviewing the crackpot book. The real public service would be questioning whether political scientists, like Macedo and Lee, should be allowed to use the word “science” in their professional titles. Talk about deception.

It definitely wasn’t a criticism. I was just noting that there isn’t much thought or work in anything they do-AI or not.

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.

Even the “merit” argument is wrong. Take Harvard. It accepts 1,600 students as freshman each year. There are at least 1600 18-20 year olds in every demographic group you can think of that would meet the merit standards. Which means the incoming class COULD be 100% black, 100% Hispanic, 100% gay

It's International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Why is this important? Because, until the 1970s, women in the western world were considered too stupid to be scientists and were expected to sacrifice their lives to men.

“Newsroom language,” “Campus speak.” FFS, it’s called having an education with a broad and nuanced vocabulary! I am smarter and more well-spoken than my grandfather who had a 5th grade education. He would be proud of that, not jealous or resentful, calling me elite or woke.

Last week was a good reminder that building community is less about aligning identities-gender, ethnicity, orientation, or generation-and more about finding those who resonate with your truths. Don’t exclude the wrong people.
