The book examines why politicians use “negative representation” — attacking the opposing party in public speeches — despite the survey data showing the public wants bipartisanship.

On May 6, the Information, Technology and Consulting office published an updated set of nine guidelines for workplace generative artificial intelligence use on their website. VOX Daily, the College’s official newsletter, circulated the guidelines in an email to campus on May 13, six days after The Dartmouth reported that a chemistry professor unintentionally released student information to campus through the Dartmouth Claude enterprise portal in a “test” of Claude’s grading capabilities.

I grew up in a rural town of roughly 2,500 people among the orchards of eastern Washington state, where driving more than 30 minutes for errands or appointments was ordinary life. A full tank of gas wasn’t a convenience; it was an everyday necessity. You couldn’t opt out of fuel costs the way you might in a city with a subway. The road and the pump beside it were our infrastructure.

Dear Freak of the Week,

Monday was the first hot day we’ve had in a long time. One day we were still waiting for spring to fully arrive, and then it did without announcement. People were suddenly outside again in a way that made it obvious how long we had all been indoors, stepping into the cold only when really necessary.

In September, Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression president Greg Lukianoff went on the Megyn Kelly show to accuse transgender rights advocates of intimidating their opponents into silence. Over a period of 30 minutes, Lukianoff alternated between nodding solemnly along with Kelly’s anti-trans rants and chiming in to remind the audience that, under the Constitution, you cannot be compelled to “call [a trans person] by a name that you don’t believe is theirs.” He also claimed that transgender people expecting others to use their names and pronouns is “totalitarian,” that transgender rights have only ever gained support because “people were just terrified of the trans rights activists,” and that formerly terrified people are now “waking up” from their previous support of trans rights. Throughout the show, Kelly promotes her sponsors: a gold company, a matcha tea company and an online pharmacy that offers ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, controversial medications pushed by right wing influencers as a cure for COVID-19. Participating in this farce, in itself, we would call dishonorable. But even the trans-bashing apparently does not disqualify Lukianoff from what Dartmouth calls “the College’s highest distinction”: receiving an honorary degree.

Recent digging on Dartmouth’s institutional Claude platform led me to a “team” project section where a seemingly random group of people in the Dartmouth community, intentionally or not, shared customized versions of Claude AI for anyone within the Dartmouth email ecosystem to view and use. My natural instinct was to snoop, and although there were a handful of interesting things there, three different Claude models with meticulous instructions particularly caught my eye.

COVID-19 marked a massive shift in how America shops. E-commerce became the status quo, and its finger-tap convenience became habitual. Companies like Amazon and DoorDash, which were already thriving in the from-your-coach digital market, set the example for other companies Walmart, Target and Macy’s, all of which prioritized door-to-door delivery or in-store pickup options. As e-commerce took off, the actual mall-shopping experience died.
