Media and universities: AI is here to stay
Okay, @Delta, why “upgrade” me to a middle seat? There is no discernible difference btw main cabin and Comfort+. The seats are the same size. It gets me two rows closer to the front, but I’m in A MIDDLE SEAT! This is not an upgrade.
I can’t believe I didn’t know this was an ongoing effort. I hope it succeeds.
A beautiful American Foxhound stands on a wooden wheelchair ramp looking at the camera. She is easily one of the world’s most beautiful dogs but you can tell from her expression that she’s very humble.
My neighbor keeps an eye on my house when I’m gone and in exchange all she ever asks me to do is come play with her dog whenever I want because the dog is shy and doesn’t get much socializing. I sure picked the right place to live.
In the “holy cow I’m old” category of surprises, I was just told that my college students don’t know how to operate a combination lock. This follows up last week’s play where I watched an actor dial a rotary phone and then pick up the handset to talk. To say I giggled inappropriately . . .
The umpire has asked three times for people to shut up and they just refuse.
I’m enjoying the Yastrzemski/Bencic match at the #CharlestonOpen and I guess the crowd is too because they don’t seem to be aware that this is live. At least in New York the crowd is loud because they’re paying attention.
But it’s so helpful for adding to my block list.
Rage and a nu metal playlist got me through half of the yard work I paid my yard guy to do a week ago. This exercise in frustration brought to you by #Charleston, SC. Charleston: where you’ll never be short of other people’s work to do.
Scientists have discovered that one dog year does not equal seven human years.
In fact, the only thing that equals seven human years is 2026.
“If tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” -Thomas Jefferson #NoKings
As a #TheatreHistory professor I am begging my students to learn the difference between a play and a playwright. How do college students not know this?
Image of the backs of many people as they stand in a park holding signs and listening to speakers as part of a protest.
I’m not at home today, but I stopped by Cleveland’s #NoKings protest. Cleveland turned up!
We’ve arrived at Spring Break, and instead of settling in to binge watch any number of fun things I’m packing to take 16 students to Scotland for a week. I’m an idiot, but I’m an adventurous idiot.
I’ve found the Doesthedogdie website useful for just this purpose.
These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all
PSA: there is nothing more tasteless than the lemon danish from Starbucks. Literally. I taste nothing. It’s a scientific achievement, really.
Fun experiment. I got through 1200 without much difficulty, but the last two entries stumped me.
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration.
#BrutalButAccurate
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
The #badbunny halftime show was amazing. Let’s all acknowledge the real heroes - the #techcrew that basically loaded all of Puerto Rico onto the field in about five minutes and then got it off even faster. I want to see the video of that.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

It’s only the 2nd day of the semester and I’m already primal screaming in my house out of frustration. Academia gets worse and worse. I’m less than a decade from retirement and have realized my career is never going anywhere (ironically, because I work too hard). Why do you all stay? I need reasons.
Feeling bad for all the dystopian novelists out there because who wants to read it when we’re living it, but feeling good for them because, hey, write what you know. #fiction?
We have made it to the year 2026, the setting for the Giorgio Moroder version of Metropolis.
