A nice “yes, AND” to Andy Craig’s concern about right wing mischief in Jan 2027.

Fellas are puttin tiny data centers in their dicks. They’re calling it datamoggin

Rasheed is literally risking his life for this game. Israelis could decide to capture, torture, or murder him at any point for daring to share the truth of the Nakba or Palestinian culture. He truly believes in games and their power to tell these stories. Please help his courage not be in vain.

This is why the only Biden legacy that matters will be the second Trump presidency.

For you to understand how much the world has changed, in the 1970s as a second grader we were REQUIRED to watch the TV show adaptation of ROOTS. REQUIRED. www.knoxnews.com/story/news/e...

There are like 400 Steam porn games meant for straight men who fetishize trans women (called "femboy" games) but of course it's the actual queer games that get targeted

It's heartbreaking that games as a medium remain out of reach for people telling the stories worth telling most. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

Funded by Google, pre-seeded with lots of Gen AI/LLM users. Smart investment from edutech companies. Pretty sure this framework will not disappoint its investors.

Pretty tough for transit to be anarchist, but otherwise this checks all the boxes.

What was your first car? Green 197x Honda cvcc. 4 speed. Would go >50 downhill. Manual choke. Auto radiator fan burned out so previous owner added switch for fan that teenager me kept forgetting to turn on, so it ate head gaskets. Still love her.

This is so powerful. The sad love of nostalgia for a world that was once so possible and now feels so far away. Remembering is a form of hope.

want to hear something encouraging? i see more men riding the bus with their children to and from school than i can ever remember seeing, and i have commuted by transit for most of my adult life

JOB: Cambridge #digitalhumanities is advertising for a 3-year teaching associate post to teach on their fantastic MPhil. Details here: www.cdh.cam.ac.uk/about/news/t...

We see this in other areas of higher ed as well. My piece in the Jacobin discusses our reliance on these systems. Banner, SAP, CRM platforms, assessment software, etc. jacobin.com/2025/09/... 3/4

I’ve got one like a grapefruit, one like a wrinkled pea. Chicks love it.

Clove cigs are back??!!!

I taught that post for a few years in my research methods in DHM course here at WCU (DHM325). It was an efficient door opener for students to think about modeling data and network analysis.

ACLS / MLA / AHA / Authors Guild won the NEH case against the mass termination of grants.

and yes, a respected colleague calculated the intensity of the on-stage storm because that’s what heroes do.

Am I wrong though?

I don't think people fully understand yet just how fragile university-hosted digital resources are after external funding ends (especially if the lead academic retires or moves or is made redundant).

My youngest kid goes to a women's college and her friends are such a delightful mix of gender fluidity. It is a beautiful thing. And it should not be policed.

Dat’sa me, Mario (Randall)

My dad didn’t go to college and was never a reader, but when he was 16, his brother gave him a copy of Locke’s Thoughts On Education, which I eventually inherited. He underlined just one passage, on how there’s no money in poetry, which became the subject of my first book. I’m missing him today.

It’s so wild to me that no Simon’s Rock alumna were sent this info from the school, despite the fact that we are all underage kids when we went to a school run by Leon Botstein

Listen, a Misoprostol-only medication abortion is still safe, and practiced around the world (where Miso- is sold OVER THE COUNTER in most places, ahem) -- but a Miso + Mife regimen makes the process simply better for patients--fewer side effects-- and patients deserve better care.

You have my guarantee, darlings: absolutely no so-called "A.I." whatsoever went into the making of all my eminently kissable essays about postwork horizons, eros, liberation, abundance, and the destruction of bourgeois gender.

We do not concede the south, the birthplace & continued lifeblood of the Black American experience, to people who hate us. We do not throw in the towel. Black people have every right to be southerners & very much are no matter who likes it.

This is what Du Bois meant when he said Black America stepped briefly into the sun and then fell under the veil.

I fuckin hate these fake southerners pretending to be stupid. My guy is a Harvard grad.

My @apscuf.org colleagues, this is what we need at the system level

At Rutgers we’re putting forward contract language for decision-making ability around tech to protect our data/material + guard against discriminatory uses of tech. NJ’s future depends on Rutgers’ teaching, research, and service to promote real social + practical skills + outputs, NOT AI slop.

Being asked to do more with less is one of those internet era maxims that seems to imply ingenuity, but is actually just the managerial slogan for squeezing uncompensated labor out of workers unwilling or unable to leave their current employment.

It really feels like this is a make-or-break moment for holding the line for real teaching. Even prestigious institutions are trying to become premium streaming services rather than educational institutions.

We are the LARGEST union in trade publishing history, and we want better for our workers in order to make a sea change for creatives everywhere. Let's take a stand together against the existential threats to the arts, whether stagnating wages, the AI slop machine, and destructive layoffs.
