I think this is illegal in a few states.

"The footage shows the documentary crew regularly traveling with Graham sitting in the backseat filming as he takes phone calls from the front seat. Graham let the crew stay in the room for sensitive meetings and some of the people Graham spoke with by phone told the Journal they didn't know the calls were being recorded"

Can something be too ironic, too tone deaf?

Headline from The New York Times. It reads, American AI companies say Chinese copycats are quickly catching up, US companies complain that competitors in China are unfairly copying their AI systems using a technique that has been around for years, with an image that looks like an abstract version of AI.

Hypocrisy is holding contradictory opinions to support the bias for one over the other. For example, ...

Headline from the New York Times that originally read "To critics, Trump remarks reveal a billionaire out of touch". The headline has been corrected to read "To anyone paying attention, Trump remarks reveal a billionaire out of touch, a recent truth bond has opened President Trump to criticism that he doesn't grasp the economic strain of his war with Iran."

Two headlines from the New York Times, the first one says Trump says he dislikes prediction markets. His family invests in them. The second is about the US immigration crackdown, criticism of Israel is now a factor in denying green cards.

I think this is analogous data for CS related phds datavisualization.cra.org/TaulbeeSurve...

Table from the linked survey showing there are a total of 2,491 Computing PhD students from outside North America

Notice that the top line is NOT more than twice as long as the second line, even though the number is more than twice as large. I plan to share with students and discuss how to improve this visualization of data.

Pinwheel day at Haverford College, in the morning before it becomes more like a beach filled with students.

I'm in the lower left corner facing the camera, behind me in the distance is Founders Great Hall at Haverford College, and between me and the building is a field filled with about 500 pinwheels on freshly mowed grass.

Meanwhile, it's always sunny in Philadelphia 🤦

Things are going great ...

From today's New York Times, how Trump and his advisors miscalculated Iran's response to war and below that a map of the Strait of Hormuz indicating three ships that were struck today.

Now this reminds me of my youth as a Philadelphia sports fan.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer, online, scores of three professional sports, for each team are losing, Phillies. Lose 5-3 to Boston, Flyers, losing 3-0 to the Rangers and sixers losing 35-25 to Cleveland.

It appears Price of Brent crude oil has risen over 50% in a week as of Sunday evening ... #ETTD

Graphic from the New York Times showing the price of Brent crude oil on Sunday evening just over $110 a barrel, the headline notes this has not happened in over 4 years.

John P Dougherty (JD)@jdcshaverford· Mar 6

#ETTD

Headline from The Wall Street Journal March 6th, oil prices top $90 per barrel with a chart showing prices increasing overall, but spiking at the end up to about $93 per barrel presently.

Wall Street Journal with the shallow headline. 🤦

The headline from The Wall Street Journal today reads "Lately the Epstein files are hitting Democrats hardest."

John P Dougherty (JD)@jdcshaverford· Feb 28

Sorry, it appears "currently attacking" is the appropriate phrasing, so also "currently distracting from the #EpsteinFiles"

New York Times headline for February 28th. 2026 reads "U.S. and Israel attack Iran: Trump calls for overthrow government"

John P Dougherty (JD)@jdcshaverford· Jan 31

I am not a journalist, why do I have to keep fixing headlines at premier places like the New York Times? 🤦

Screenshot New York Times, unrest in Minneapolis, news analysis, politicians are calling the protests in Minnesota and insurgency, with red correction GOP politicians..... The term used to describe war poses dangers when applied to American political unrest, and then there's a photo of a protester holding an American flag.
