Are there other academic researchers out there interested in drafting a statement about refusing to use generative AI for research (from initial planning/design/conception through writing, editing, and beyond)?
I imagine something similar to this: refusinggenai.wordpress.com/, but for the research process.

New York Mayor Eric Adams to Crypto Industry: Come Build an Empire in NYC
“This is the Empire State,” Adams said at a press briefing at Gracie Mansion on Monday. “We should be looking forward to building empires, particularly in the crypto space.”Adams, who is running for reelection, reiterated his commitment to making New York City a crypto hub, telling reporters that he would work with tech and crypto companies, both big and small, to create a friendly environment to attract them and help them succeed.
“My goal remains the same as it was on day one as mayor: making New York City the crypto capital of the globe,” Adams said. His remarks echo similar pledges from President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly said he wants to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet.”

The image depicts a futuristic cityscape with a rainy atmosphere. The scene is set in a narrow street flanked by tall, industrial buildings with a mix of blue and orange hues. The architecture features a blend of modern and cyberpunk elements, with visible pipes and neon signs. The street is wet, reflecting the lights and creating a glossy surface.
In the foreground, a blue, futuristic vehicle with a sleek design and large headlights is parked on the street. Behind it, another similar vehicle is visible. A person wearing a yellow vest and helmet is walking away from the camera, holding a briefcase. Several pedestrians are seen in the background, some holding umbrellas, indicating rain.
The sky is overcast, and rain is falling, adding to the atmospheric mood. Orange lanterns hang from the buildings, providing a warm contrast to the cool tones of the scene. The overall color palette is dominated by blues, oranges, and grays, contributing to the cyberpunk aesthetic.

A group of white South Africans arrived in the U.S. today under President Trump's refugee plan. Trump said that members of the country's Afrikaner minority were victims of "racial discrimination" and claimed that a genocide was taking place targeting white farmers — allegations that have been widely discredited. The United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR, has also not been involved in the resettlement scheme, and Afrikaner author Max du Preez told @BBCNews that the claims were a "total absurdity" based on "nothing." White South Africans make up just 7.3% of the population, but own the vast majority of privately held farmland, according to a 2017 government report. Here's the full story; at the second link, find @thecontinent's article on how South Africa's government is trying to navigate its new relationship with the U.S.

California Bill for Total Ban on Plastic Bags Slammed as 'Overreach'
Supporters of the bill say that it's a step toward better environmental policy in the state.Kaitlin Lewis (Newsweek)
So here's another 'fuck corporate waste' project I did to rescue a shit consumer product.
This laundry hamper is made of plastic fabric. Two months along, the handles started to tear away from the sides—the way they were designed to.
So I got some black polyurethane strapping and used a gorilla-style glue to reinforce everything. (That glue is brilliant for this sort of thing, especially synthetic fabric.)
Garbage reduced, $40 unwasted.

on the plus side, having a system loitering in an area looking for L-band transmissions of the appropriate strength would be easy to implement and would give few, if any, false positives so long as it's aware of the position of the sun - and then you can apply your munition of choice to the transmitter.

Moment of Stillness in the Forest
While sitting in the backyard with Charlie, we listened to a spirited sing-off between a northern cardinal, a brown thrasher, a great crested flycatcher, and a Carolina wren. Their songs filled the air, creating a beautiful chorus, though the only birds I actually spotted were the cardinals. As our outdoor session came to an end, I got up, and we wandered to the edge of the fence, scanning the surrounding trees in hopes of catching a glimpse of the hidden singers. Despite our efforts, they remained tucked away in the foliage. Just as we were looking up, a red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) suddenly landed in the oak tree above us, offering an unexpected and welcome sight.

The image shows the back of a large, brown cardboard frame. The frame is secured with several metal staples along the edges. In the upper left corner, there is a red and white sticker with the text "made in CANADA" and "fabriqué au CANADA," accompanied by a red maple leaf symbol. The background is a neutral-colored wall, and the bottom edge of the frame is visible, suggesting it is leaning against a surface. The cardboard appears slightly worn, with minor creases and a small tear near the top right corner.
