I know a lot of researchers who should know AAT exists. “A disabled-led, unapologetically intersectional transcription and closed captioning social enterprise offering transcription support for researchers, by researchers.”
why are you using microsoft products in a situation where anything matters at all
"the spaceship is running ... microsoft outlook" gotta be one of the most inauspicious things ive read abt this moon mission
This isn’t getting much traction yet. Would love to raise the remaining $900 by the end of the weekend! Venmo my very trustworthy friend gdavies1
The techs we collectively call AI have use cases, but policy should be about solving problems in the public interest, not identifying ways to deploy specific technologies just for the sake of doing so. Yet that’s *still* how so many of these convos are framed. It’s exhausting. And harmful.

What these admins will never tell you is that the *courses* in these majors are often full. Students don't *major* in these fields, but they really want to take the classes. They use number of majors as a metric on purpose so they can achieve their cuts.
Again, this is happening at universities across 🇺🇸 & again it is incredibly depressing to see our entire industry dismantle itself based on bad faith arguments & bad faith metrics of "student demand" & "the job market." We are destroying the village in order to save it.

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.

AI is such a scam investment, I can drink three gallons of water and give you terrible advice, where’s my $60 billion?
This! The modern snake oil wellness supplement industry generates unimaginable wealth that dwarfs pharmaceuticals. Theirs is an unregulated industry thanks to a law from the 1990s, which is what makes this such a lucrative market.
Just got a message from South High saying “We currently have requests totaling $33,965 for rent and we have $7500 available tomorrow. Please try to share the gofundme widely! Thanks”
Well, that simply will not do. I'll match the first $900. Please help my fellow South High families if you can! 🖤🧡🖤
The reason why politicians and admins won't use cost per FTE is that some of the most cost-effective programs are humanities and social sciences. Probably, also because numbers freak them out. It's easier to just say 15 graduates.
The university ecosystem that was created post WW2 is being destroyed. Large classes in 'service' departments were intended to help schools balance needs elsewhere. Completion metrics in many states will lead to a collapse of institutions because this isn't how managed cost per FTE works.
Working in coordination with the Adopt a Rent program on standwithminnesota.com, I’m adopting a rent!

This is called a community college and if we funded them properly we wouldn't need private individuals to offer these kinds of services.
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.
Liam couldn’t be at the Super Bowl because he‘s in hiding
The drone cameras during events suck. The sound is distracting as hell on the fees so it must be annoying af in the venue #Olympics
The music during this parade of nations is really the best ever
It reads like a more verbose version of conversations I've had with college students about including hallucinated citations in assignments. The elaborate attempts to deflect and stonewall are so similar!
I don't really need you to credit me for being first with this, but at the very least consider boosting a worthy Minnesota charity. Many here, www.standwithminnesota.com, or people can support the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund, which is bonding out people detained like the petitioners in this case.
Heartbreaking loss
Not a judgment and IDK how you overcome it but...it's striking that every time a fresh national news story drops about ICE in the Twin Cities (ProPublica today), a lot of people respond with "Wow, I didn't realize it was that bad" and everyone in MN goes "Yes and it's a hundred times worse"
Absolutely. I hear the same at my CC. Reading instruction keeps getting chipped away in the curriculum, which our English faculty have been sounding the alarm about for a while now. It's tough.
I am begging you all. Please Please Please don't let this place be lost.
All that to say, I'd really like to see a more concerted effort to address attention span and long form engagement because all we have is one off efforts that are clearly not working on the whole.
