I feel like we’re in for many years of “haha, they were spending taxpayer money on bug condoms—DOGE to the rescue!” turning out to be something important Elon’s Tween Team didn’t understand.

Pete Hegseth dropping deism and Unitarian Universalism from accepted religions in the military is honestly almost too fucking hilarious for me to be properly outraged about.

Celebrating #WorldBicycleDay with a ride on the Atlantic View Trail by Lawrencetown Beach, Nova Scotia.

Sarah and I were riding our bikes today on the Atlantic View Cycling trail (in NS for holidays before the Cdn Phil Assoc meeting) & we met some U of G alumni. One was a graduate of our French program and is now working for the Student Commission of Canada. Neat! www.studentscommission.ca

Let me gently suggest that the role of faculty in an AI world will be precisely to train students to use AI in non-passive, more agentic ways. I think most faculty get this. The argument in this article is not really about student outcomes but about faculty resentment re: their changing role.

10 things to do in the morning instead of jumping jacks fitisafeministissue.com/2026/05/31/1...

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

Wild to watch the limits of the imagination of the human race shrink in real time.

The software industry as we know it is dying and CEOs realized it months ago. An industry that decides it will no longer hire entry level workers nor that middle managers are needed to coach workers, assign projects and advocate for promotions is one that doesn’t believe there’s career growth here.

As @jacobtlevy.bsky.social points out in his Annual Review of Political Science article on academic freedom, academic freedom does not require intellectual neutrality or ‘diversity’ but rather intellectual integrity. Intellectual neutrality and ‘diversity’ are antithetical to the academic ethos.
