Our uni had an AI promoter speak about the benefits of incorporating AI in the classroom by suggesting students input their bank balance and the betting lines for the Super Bowl so they could ask how much they should bet and on which team. We paid someone to suggest that.

The Pistons just lost their lead we just got text saying the Canvas hack is getting fixed. :-(

@kairyssdal.bsky.social untethered from reality, indeed! Reminds me of the scenes in The Big Short. Trying to think of other dramatized versions of Wall Street ignoring every other street and strait.

TCM and CSPAN are the best channels on television for the same reason. Everyone hates commercials.

I didn’t realize how much of the job of presidency was toddler taxonomy.

Jamie Ding and the Pistons. This is a bad night for Detroiters. Thank goodness the Tiges aren’t playing today.

Since this seems to be back in the news... bsky.app/profile/agif...

Is today Weed’s birthday or the anniversary of Weed winning the War on Drugs? I know it’s one of the High Holy Days, but I can’t remember the history. There’s gotta be a Bluesky thread about how the rituals persist without their meaning.

Don’t build this garbage so we don’t have to tear it down. Spain still has an arch built by Franco near the main university in Madrid. Instead of referencing Napoleon’s Paris, this is clearly about fascism. english.elpais.com/elpais/2017/...

1,300 people in very red Catawba County, NC gathered today to say No Kings!

We read Washington’s Farewell Address for US Foreign Policy today, and whew. Political factions are vulnerable to exploitation by foreign powers and concentrate power in the hands of an individual.

I keep thinking of this passage from the events at Stonewall. And Mohamed Bouazizi’s self-immolation.

If it was just a show about incompetent rich pricks playing "serious businessman" it would be amusing. But people have died, are dying, will die, and life will get generally worse because these image-obsessed pathetic weirdos need social media likes. youtu.be/JT0-yeowgKc?...

If the student didn’t want to bother doing the assignment, she would have done what her classmates did and enter the prompt in AI. There is no evidence that the instructor gave different grades to other students who clearly failed the assignment. Jeez, this is chilling.

When I was in college, we were watching Jesus Christ Superstar and trying to decipher what drugs the characters were archetypically on. Now, we can recreate the magic with our administration.

We’re looking at the floor very strongly.

@profanity.accountant have guesses but let’s see

SCTV, Kids in the Hall, and Tom Green Show are the kinds of soft cultural power that entices people to defect.

Me explaining the Isaac Chotiner interview to my family at Thanksgiving: it’s like going on the Jerry Springer show because a family member wants to share news.

My partner is a big Detroit Lions fan and has a student whose brother plays for the team! After a recent win due to the brother’s efforts, the student shrugged and said he lost money on the parlay. My long-suffering fan was disturbed that gambling is destroying the community that sports creates.

Weird that the Times never mentions the emails between their staff and Epstein. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Get this piece of shit off the Lions game!!!

If you’re in line to piss on Cheney’s grave, stay in line.

The baseball will continue until morale improves

I see protest discourse is hitting the feed again ahead of No Kings—idk man, go, don’t go, …but if you do go make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing and if you don’t go, make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing

This clip is the perfect encapsulation because it not only shows the failed up fool, it also shows the uselessness of the counterpoint that dogs don’t play football and they don’t wear costumes at dog shows while the spectacle continues. Much prefer the comedy version here.

(NPR apparently) That ain’t working. That’s the way you do it. Lemme tell you them guys ain’t dumb. Maybe get blister on your little finger. Maybe get a blister on your thumb.

Jimmy Kimmel beginning his monologue with “As I was saying” invokes Fray Luis de León who began his classroom lecture at the University of Salamanca after being imprisoned four years by the Inquisition in 1576.

The Baileys are liberals. - Charles E. Schumer

I’m sad for Guillermo

Waiting for Patel to put out an ad for true crime pod girlies to solve the Kirk murder.

On another note, none of my students knew about Calvin and Hobbes (beyond seeing images of Calvin on bumper stickers) so I had to start there before I got to Calvinball.

Updating my AI policy for this semester and am including the link to this article. So the "expert" thinks education should just be entering prompts into our LLM. That's gonna be a no for me, dawg. Holy shit.

Pentagon spokesman not knowing how to spell soldier is the only funny thing about this horrible story.

The Republican candiate for Senate in NC has never run for public office in the state, but he did rig an election to become GOP Chair. Go Cooper! www.wunc.org/politics/202...

Cooper is nothing like Sinema or Manchin. Good heavens.
