Can report also an instance of "stolen by my cats," who are fascinated by mine.

I keep seeing people say that they're going back to handwritten, in-class work to combat the influence of AI. However... how are we doing that for students who have accommodations like distraction-free testing, and extra time, and... perhaps physical disabilities that affect their writing?

If you can bring yourself to root for the French ice dancing pair of Cizeron and Fournier Beaudry, you are a very different person than me! www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

Wrote about Bad Bunny and how after more than a century under U.S. rule, after attempts to erase our national identity, after the man-made crises and natural disasters that have befallen our people, in the face of every challenge, seguimos aquí. We’re still here. www.thecut.com/article/bad-...

You give me a show with the only good thing left about Harry Potter, Tracy Jordan, Bobby Moynihan, and beloved Max from Living Single and I WILL BE THERE.

Fun fact: American Idiot came out on my 18th birthday, and I had preordered the CD on the internet to ship to my freshman dorm. A big deal!

ICYMI — an angry little fairy tale from me.

What Jen said, and also fuck this lady because you don't get to have it both ways! You don't get to be ok with all this and worry about losing other projects if someone pieces together that you do all this AI work. I want a full list of pen names and properties to avoid.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa since when are people allowed to do backflips in elite skating competitions

The painting on the wall of that living room is amazing??? And so happy to see this baby reunited with his family and his Pikachu.

Never mind the jobs you had, five classes you took in college: 1. International Women's Health Issues (which was mostly a 10-day spring break trip to Amsterdam) 2. Women Criminals in Francophone Literature 3) The Bible and Fiction 4) Sociology of Sex 5) Enameling and Jewelry Making

A friend shared with me a girl scout cookie link from a group that's having a hard time selling in Minneapolis right now. digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop5...

I went over to Instagram and read Kole Calhoun’s full statement and I’ve gotta say: fuck yes Kole Calhoun. (Two more in the next comment.)

Three cheers for former Guardian Kole Calhoun!

Did you miss out on your last opportunity to bankroll the fully stocked pop-up leftist supply depot?? Do you want to send free hand warmers, winter gear, first aid supplies, YOU NAME IT, to the Twin Cities? This is your moment. Let's ride. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... (non 'zon in follow up!)

The Star-Tribune is taking donations to help fund the purchase vital newsroom supplies and equipment, including protective and tactical gear for street reporters and photogs.

Not me shouting "fuck yeah, Jody Sawyer!" in the middle of very serious medical drama The Pitt

Shout out to the one dude who voted for Alex Gordon, a player who was not on my team but who I loved to watch run straight into the outfield wall with no concern for his own well-being.

Big Delacroix vibes

Estimated tax payments always feel like a kick in the face, but the fact that one is due in four days is just.... 🙄🙄🙄

As promised, we are back with a second wishlist for our friends in Minneapolis! This time @naomikritzer.bsky.social is helping out by being our local contact who will receive all the goodies you send! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... As always, you can avoid the 'zon at our GFM!

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

I enjoyed seeing Puka Nacua drop that ball and then skid across the field on his face. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Man, I watched first-run Dawson's Creek episodes on a 13 inch black and white television set with a UHF dial.

I personally would not have fired Kevin Stefanski, but I would understand if he would prefer to do literally any other job on earth at this time.

Free at last, free at last. (Stefanski, not the Browns)

If anyone needs me, I'll be over here having an existential crisis over actually cheering for the Ravens (Derrick Henry) instead of a meteor.

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

Not a good morning to be a person with an almost spiritual weakness for Venezuelan middle infielders.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

We've been watching Mad Men because I never finished it, and Matt wants me to see it, but he probably wasn't expecting that all the old songs would earworm me and I'd be walking around the house days later singing "C'est Magnifique"

PSA: the new year doesn’t fully begin until the first Monday of the year. This is still liminal season.

Going into 2026 like

We never had cable, so I was always watching videos at friends' houses or on vacation. The three things that popped into my head: -Everybody - Backstreet Boys -Fell in Love with a Girl - the White Stripes -Scream - Michael & Janet Jackson

I very clearly remember being 10 years old in the movie theater and thinking, "hmm maybe Whitney should leave her husband for that angel." Like, truly the only scenario in which Courtney B. Vance is the less interesting, less handsome man.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

The good thing about being a Cleveland fan is that the Cubs broke my heart already, and I don't really need another reason to hate them.

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place. Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

ICE has ramped up Columbus activity. CPD and the city are not cooperating, but they don’t know what ICE is doing and haven’t been able to find out. “We have not asked for and do not need this unwelcome intervention.” www.axios.com/local/columb...

20 years ago tonight, Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell enjoyed a Lazy Sunday:

Once again I ask:

Call me old-fashioned but I do actually prefer having a president who would issue a passive aggressive statement like: "He was passionate about the causes that mattered to him, and I respect that. RIP."

Most of the big Rob Reiner movies are ones I didn't see until I was an adult, so I'm the millennial out here whose first thought was: aww, Meathead...

So funny that Rian Johnson is giving us a new Hot Priest while the older model is right there in the room.

I would give up every fancy edge and millionth special edition to get mass market books back.

I really love this article because it explains to me the real choices behind what I've been thinking about which is that the structure and style of Heated Rivalry reminds me more of like... Normal People (the show)... than most American romance-y TV things.

Sometimes I forget that Halle Berry is originally from Cleveland, and sometimes she does stuff like this and I am like "yep, there it is!" 👏👏👏

So the next time someone tries to draw you into a conversation about that piece they saw on 60 Minutes or read in the NYT about how educators are coping with/ combatting/whatever students using GenAI, don’t accept that framing. Make it about the industry that is impoverishing their education.

Has anyone read WILD THING, this Gauguin biography that made the New York Times Best Of List for 2025? Because this description, and this is my professional opinion as someone with a PhD in 19th century French painting, makes me want to put my fist through a wall.

I was so excited about the David Byrne Tiny Desk concert that I cast it from my phone to the wrong TV... and then I heard Matt shout "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" from upstairs 😂😂😂
