gotta be honest.. i don't want this. i want AI regulated.

dense housing should be mandatory but only if it looks like this

WHAT?

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

Maybe their midterm focus could be “get more of us in office and we will impeach him,” but no, that’s what most people want, so there’s no way they’d do it

however it is not clear how they are going to generate this list.. self identify? membership in campus jewish organizations? bar mitzvah records? propensity to argue?

Annual Faculty Self Evaluation, or as I like to call it, Annual Exercise in Merging PDFs

In my Intro Bio class I give students an extra credit questions that’s, “what’s the most interesting thing you learned about plants?” No one has ever answered “alternation of generations”…before today!!! I’m kvelling!!

lol i just remembered when cory booker spoke on the senate floor for 25 hours for no reason

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

This is a terrible story, but really highlights how big and dangerous cars have become. The student was driving one of those giant new pickups. Had he been driving a car from 10 years ago, the teacher would not have been killed

Stop trying to make fetch happen.

What does "victory" mean??? I wish the intrepid reporters of the NYT would push the administration on what the objectives of this war are, rather than blindly accepting that the US is at war with Iran: therefore the US has always been at war with Iran.

just emailed a colleague that i have "some really cool tree stumps" she could borrow

Does the R. stand for Royal?

This is my impression of everything now- is it AI or do people actually write like this: It’s short sentences. Fragments. It’s easy, cozy mornings and not apologizing for it. It’s words strung together that don’t really make sense, but knowing you can finally trust your gut.

I love to hear about my faculty colleagues FOIAing university HR!

All the best movies have a pivotal gel electrophoresis scene

you know who else knows the lecture word for word? YOUR PROFESSOR. i, a professor, would love nothing more than for students to come ask me questions after class

He's not going to end it. You know he's not. So what are you going to do about it.

You know you’re getting old when you’re in the grocery store thinking, “man, they are playing bangers this morning!”

it's nice that the main photo for this article features someone wearing a watermelon kipah.. but based on the general tone of the nytimes, i'm thinking the reporters don't know what the watermelon symbolizes?

“Do not engage in a winter campaign in bitterly cold areas. You will lose not just your army, but most likely your throne.” - literally every military historian ever “GET IN THE CAR, LOSERS, WE’RE GONNA INVADE MINNESOTA IN LATE JANUARY” - the Trump administration

yes let us sing the praises of the honda fit! maybe they will start making them in the US again

umm exactly which moment are you referring to here?

they have literally never gotten over the Obama situation room photo for the bin Laden raid

get ready for even more devaluing of higher ed as the proportion of men getting degrees continues to decline...

At least this student is not using AI!

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

dick cheney dies on the same day zohran is going to become mayor?? christmas came early!

Well, we tried nothing and that didn't work, so now let's all just pretend everything's fine

DILUVIAL is not an accepted word in spelling bee today?? are you kidding me??!!! the only evil i would like to eradicate via 40 days and 40 nights of rain is the evil of not recognizing perfectly valid words!

SIXTY words today in spelling bee?? who has the time!

i still remember the numbers of half a dozen people i went to middle school with

nor'easter, more like NO'easter amiright? (there was supposed to be a big storm but it's barely raining)

They make it sound like this is not what’s also happening here

This why people need unions! Last year the new provost asked faculty to send him our CVs within two days so he could get to know everyone. Union got so mad about it he sent out an email apologizing and retracted his request.

i guess it's good that she's mad at him, but it really highlights the selfish republican mindset in that all she wants is military families--HER family--to get paid. she doesn't care about anyone else who's suffering

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

So a group of democrats are putting together a response speech to what just happened… right?

Pound and sterling are the same currencies!!! Am I missing something?

this is the seinfeld bit where jerry is complaining about cops standing around "why not pick up a broom?!"

lololllol genuinely laughing out loud rn.. if I want the fbi to visit my class???! Are you INSANE???!!!!

tech is getting unusable.. netflix just told me my "device is not part of my household," despite being on my laptop on my wifi. i have a blank facebook account, use it only to look at my town's page, just tried to log in & found it's been disabled bc it doesnt "follow standards on account integrity"

Where the f**k was all this reporting from the Times & the Journal on Trump & the world’s most famous child rapist in 2016, 2020, & 2020? Where were the effing Dems & their oppo research? How on earth has it taken this long for this stuff to come out?

im so sick of this. politicians have to earn our votes. i couldn't tell you a single policy kamala campaigned on or anything she stands for other than continued bombing of gaza. what i did see was appearances w liz cheney. if that wasnt enough to earn her some votes from democrats, thats her problem

lately i have been seeing "isle" instead of "aisle." people really are becoming more illiterate by the day.

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?
