Marine Le Pen, a central figure in contemporary French politics, has garnered significant attention as the leader of the far-right National Rally. Her political stance and rhetoric have sparked varied and intense reactions across different feminist perspectives.

When abled people become temporarily disabled and heal again, most forget the #ableism they noticed.
When this high school student actually spoke up, at least partly because of a school project on accessibility, she got a taste of how fiercely systemic ableism trains us to defend it.
This doesn't suddenly get better in higher education - it often gets worse.
Finally remembering to post here, but my first peer reviewed paper was published a week or so ago! Many thanks to @Sophie for giving me the opportunity to write for the Journal of Critical Digital Librarianship and to my editors for helping guide me through the process! You can find it here! @academicchatterhttps://repository.lsu.edu/jcdl/vol3/iss1/5/
Donella Meadows book Thinking in Systems is a good (but dated) introduction to feedback modeling and systems design in ecology. I've always held-out hope that Agent-Based stimulative modeling would advance sufficiently to simulate the behavior of actors governed by these broad systems patterns. And in a way that could include spatial processes in the modeling. Our computers are big enough now.🙂
Nothing says "We care about accessibility and equity for disabled people in STEM like 'Go to Google and let their AI handle it"" #Ableism#DisabledAndSTEM
@ml and the point is not that it is a "zero effort" solution or "not done by human professionals", the point is that AI-generated captions are not good enough in quality to provide sufficient accessibility, and therefore using AI as only accessibility measure is a fucking poor excuse.
Got this email earlier and I’m still upset about it. Some unnamed “team from #Northwestern, #Stanford & #Cornell” fed our preprint through their “#AI" to generate "suggestions" on how we could improve it.
This feels like some really shit #HCI study that seems to think asking for consent is optional. And like one that wants to spin out into an even shittier start-up in the future (hence not giving any names of team members)?
@gedankenstuecke@academicchatter@hci Researchers from Northwestern University also found an increasing number of abstracts in scientific papers which are generated by AI or with its support: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.07016
Funny coincidence.
He complained about the high price of parking. He disputed the President's numbers in a "cordial" but "tense" public meeting on the topic. He turned over the research documenting his numbers. Two and a half weeks later, the provost fired him, explaining that Tarleton State University would not "tolerate intolerable behavior."

Thanks for this link. People who sign up for leadership positions in higher ed and have not the smallest tolerance for dissent or discomfort are truly baffling to me. I hope this (by all accounts) fine teacher lands well somewhere else.
