Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything. Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

A challenger appears: busted AC 👈😎👈

Never thought I'd say it, but grateful for my eight-ish years of admin experience right about now. Rescheduling meetings? Nothing to it.

DIDO: Remember me, but ah! forget my fate on this device

Really wish I could privatize my Bluesky account for many reasons, one of the reasons being I'm tired of randos following my account. I'd probably feel differently about this if folks actually engaged with me 🤷‍♀️

If I controlled an animation studio- any animation studio- I would jump both feet forth. Alas- for good or bd- I do not.

Got my covid vaccine?? Without a prescription?? In the south????

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

JOB: FSU is hiring an Assistant Professor of Music Theory (tenure track)! I am on the committee and happy to answer any questions. societymusictheory.org/resources/jo...

If you use AI to summarize a research article for you, that is a tacit admission that 1) you do not understand what that article argues; 2) you do not know what evidence is presented to support that argument; and 3) you do not have enough information to evaluate either the argument or evidence.

Firing 9,000 employees while repeatedly raising the cost of a console that came out five years ago reveals a rot far deeper than the "macroeconomic realities (tariffs)" they get to prop the blame up on.

You know things are rough when the AAUP's advice on how to use social media is just "set all your accounts to private."

one last round of deltarune #art for now. i had a lot of fun.

Labor unions doing the work the UC should be doing. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There is a giant gaping hole in my bedroom ceiling and I can't help but feel like that's a metaphor for something.

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

he has put in the work & is probably the most labor-active SAG/AFTRA president since William Daniels (Ken Howard is right in that group too, though, and ALSO played a future president in 1776) — Sean Astin shows that a charmed-life upbringing is no barrier to being a dirt-knuckled trade unionist

Today was the first time I watched a Nintendo Direct with another human and it was delightful.

Oh man can't wait to play Yoshi's Story: Academia Edition

"school shooting industry"

This was a part of my class discussion last week and yupppppp

Today is too much.

"It feels like we're fighting fascism." I write about how an anti-DEI law in Oklahoma is causing one of its universities to cancel a theater production, how students are fighting back, and how arts censorship is growing in the U.S. Times like these, small acts of resistance becomes more important

this piece will make you one million times angrier than you think it will.

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio had a budget of $35 million and every single character was moved one frame at a time by a human being. What the fuck are we even doing!!!!!!!

Yeah so my classroom went viral on TikTok. In said Tiktok, students decided buying football tickets > paying attention in class so.... yup. Just one of the many fires this semester and it's only week three.

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

this is nightmarish and should alarm you no matter what your opinions on pornography are

"It'll be good for me" I say through clenched teeth as I concede in doing things I don't want to do but must because beggars can't be choosers

I have some intensely complicated feelings about this new version of the "Snake Eater" theme song 🧵

Drag Race France Allstars is the best season of the franchise that I've seen in a long time. The lip-l sync for the crown alone was truly légendaire. Going to be thinking about it for a while!

OpenAI is an evil company and ChatGPT is an evil product. Excise it from your lives and yell at any institution that tries to make you use it.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

HAPPY SNAKE EATER DAY

Similarly, I'm using scantrons this fall.
