Today a student told me they felt stupid for using AI. I responded: “Well, good. You should.”
I jus couldn’t help myself

Had a chance to join @k8shep.bsky.social on stage at the American Research Center in Egypt annual conference yesterday to talk about representations of Egypt in film via The Mummy Returns. We'll try to put this out as a substack only episode soon.

Pure STEM gives us tech bros STEM + the humanities gives us nasa.

I said this to my son last night. STEM is focused on industry (capital). The humanities are focused on the human experience. You can have both.

I’m always there

I completely believe you. Would love to see it.

Not as easy to march to, but I’ll practice! 😆

Talking about early C20 American patriotic songs. Did I play them “Over There”? Yes. Did I a cappella SING “You’re a Grand Ole Flag?” Also yes.

Sorry this is hilarious

Oh!! I love public libraries and love that you went to look for this. ❤️

This is the most boring post season since 2019. The Bears are the only thing keeping my attention.

That is lovely. Thank you for sharing this info!

TCM, for those of us whose cable packages include it, will be paying tribute to Rob Reiner on January 28th with an evening of movies that kicks off with The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally & concludes with Stand By Me and This Is Spinal Tap.

This was SO fun to record! The best romantic comedy ever, directed by the late great Rob Reiner.

Apparently my and my kid’s flu + Covid vax wouldve been fully covered at a pharmacy. Instead, we went to a Minute Clinic (inside CVS) because they were the ONLY ones in MO who would verify they had a pediatric Covid dose. Now we owe for a clinic visit + vax copay.
This is so stupid.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

1) Malbec, duh!
2) ooooh muppets Christmas Carol?
3) hosted a late Thanksgiving!

How ridiculous!

Guardians of the galaxy vol 1: fun, buddy movie
Guardians vol 2 & 3: lonely men will destroy the universe instead of going to therapy.

I did three Lego leagues and wow did they take some time!! One from Australia (they found me before my current town’s league did).

I often think that people talk about AI as Boromir talked about the One Ring. “Ah, it’s a gift!”
No, it’ll take over everything if you let it and it will destroy you (and the earth).

This: "One formative influence was Watson’s making his one and only important scientific discovery when he was only 25. ...[H]e discovered nothing afterward, even as colleagues were cracking the genetic code or deciphering how DNA is translated into the molecules that make cells (and life) work."

Saw a guy in a shirt today that read: G*ns don’t fill the hole in your soul. You need bullets, too.
In case you’re wondering how deep red rural areas are doing and what it’s like to live in one.

Some questions simply should not be asked.

Peacock interrupted coverage of the women’s marathon in Tokyo for a heat of the men’s 1500. Bloody typical.
