As a proud mama and learning scientist, I wrote how Amos and the 3,000 other students running the #LAMarathon2026 this Sunday teach us an important lesson in the age of AI. Thank you to Students Run LA (SRLA) and @edsource.org! edsource.org/2026/maratho...

A must read! In this murk of AI+higher ed, this is a rare convo that felt clear and hopeful. open.substack.com/pub/derektho...

It's no @mcsweeneys.net but I got a letter printed in @economist.com www.economist.com/letters/2026...

We are 95% confident that the true state of the world lies between the end of scarcity and the end of humanity.

I would like to thank Companion AI for helping promote my latest in @mcsweeneys.net. I had worried my satire was too dark. This Einstein product reassures me that it was optimistic sunshine. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

"There is, of course, some risk of corroding the very foundations of our university’s mission. But institutional survival requires adaptation. Our graduates must become 'AI-resilient and future-ready members of the workforce'… whatever that means." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

"In Vibe-Teaching™, faculty are no longer required to read the AI-generated slop that students themselves have not paused to read. " Hilarious satire about what teaching in a time of AI might become. (Also: excited that a friend got a piece into @mcsweeneys.net!)

"Rather than building courses through faculty expertise or disciplinary knowledge, faculty gather complaints from alums now trying to get real jobs, feed those complaints into AI, and allow the system to revise the course accordingly."

This could be the next “Gourd Season”

I’ve officially made it as a humor writer! I’m in McSweeney’s today. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

Ahem. Capitalism would like a word. Specifically, it would like journalists to calm-the-f-down about love scams and recognize them for what they are: a wildly successful business model! Check out my parody letter from Capitalism, out today in Jane Austen’s Wastebasket: medium.com/jane-austens...

Here's the question about #SquidGame I finally had the courage to ask: how are they funding that murder circus? Turns out capitalism is the real bloodbath.

I wrote a romance novel called The Long Con… and then got actual romance scammers to promote it! I wrote about what happened and what it says about the industrialization of modern love for Medium’s Human Parts: humanparts.medium.com/how-i-conned...

This piece does a great job explaining how hard it is on faculty with the lower pass rates that often come with corequisite (vs. prerequisite) remediation, even though more students total are passing. buff.ly/RKjrY2l #math #AcademicSky #highered @cogscimom.bsky.social

What happens when tech algorithms capture our attention so effectively that we lose agency over our mental lives? On East LA's "Riding the Wave" podcast, I stepped outside my academic bubble for a convo about the deep things that affect us all! 🎥 Watch the clip: www.youtube.com/shorts/SPL90... 1/

Does it feel like the world is algorithmically engineered to stamp out reading--eroding focus and sustained attention to long complex ideas? blog.coursekata.org/teaching-rea...
