I talk about this on DAY ONE (well, I did, when I was doing this …) God, it’s infuriating.

So just to be clear: do our AI-touting overlords think that incorporating AI into our classrooms will help prevent massive fuckups like this, or just help people to hide them more effectively?

How can anyone possibly teach without this ELITE TOOL?

My first dog took Gabapentin for her dementia, to keep her from pacing all night. We called it her Happy Pill: “Here comes the happy!” (She was happy most of the time, but a little extra Happy never hurts.)

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Bllllrgggggggaaaarrrrfffff

The prep was pretty miserable. Not pink, for me, but not exactly anything I wanted to drink a gallon of, either.

(I am kind of joking but it really was a HELL of a nap!)

Is it available in gummy form? Weed gummies give me acid flashbacks, even the mellow ones that are supposedly sleep ascension make me trip my face off

I was too! I had a terrible experience in the past, and I was dreading it. But it really was as easy and low-key as everyone says!

I had my first colonoscopy yesterday. I’m fine, but I need to know from whom to buy the perfect drug that gives you an absolutely marvelous 30-minute nap, please and thank you

Why women protagonists in novels had to be beautiful, and how authors like Shelley, Brontë, and Wharton made beauty a problem instead of a solution. (When Jane Eyre sketches herself with the title: “Portrait of a governess: disconnected, poor, and plain.”)

from the AP Lit FB group, this kind of thing happens across states—

Why is the Maga project teetering? Because not even Trump supporters voted for this dysfunction | Moira Donegan The president’s fixation on culture-war grievances is a colossal misreading of voters who just want prices to come down, says Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan

It Could Lead to Tens of Thousands of Deaths. In the Meantime, It’s Wreaking Havoc on Americans’ Sanity. Imagine not being able to feed your kid because of a mistake on a piece of paperwork.

A mom and widow who had benefits cut because of a mistake on a form. A home health aide making $13/hour who said food pantries are so overwhelmed, they couldn't really help. A student who said SNAP access supported eating disorder recovery. So many people are being impacted:

Happy birthday to marijuana

This little man was abandoned 2x: as a puppy & again fully grown. He was stray so long he wore down his teeth from eating garbage. He came to us w/heartworm & skin infections making him miserable, but he tried so hard to be good. Now he’s healthy & happy and all tennis balls belong to him forever.

Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

OOP

New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

Another thing that is confusing the political commentariat about Mamdani is that he isn't going to run for President because he can't. So they can't write their usual 'he's a political climber' story lines and I think that has also broken something in them.

“You gotta learn AI or get left behind!” is a bit galling given that the entire purpose of AI seems to be to steal our work and fuck our brains and shit up the planet, which is to say, its GOAL is to leave us all behind. That, in order to make its owners rich.

Seven Theses Against Viewpoint Diversity Demands for “viewpoint diversity,” a pillar of the Right’s strategy to remake higher education, collide with the pursuit of truth.

calls for “viewpoint diversity” are little more than demands for a quota system for political conservatives who otherwise could not hack it www.aaup.org/academe/issu...

This is so hard. I’m sorry. Sweet kitty is lucky to have you.

In particular, if there's anyone out there interested in talking about what New Deal policies could look like now, expanding social programs, what it takes to make life more affordable, etc. I'd love to chat! It's a big topic and I'm trying to get specific and solutions-focused. Email below:
