Bad Song Club this week brings us a dark folk song #badsongclub

It’s helpful for a language teacher to speak the language of their students

Presented today. Good attendance and feedback.

A few of the songs from FAWM are done being re-recorded for album 4. This is one I (barely) made a music video for. youtu.be/ywLhD-aIxx0

Who is going to TESOL?

It's going to be a challenge to relearn all the songs I wrote in 1 day for FAWM now that it is time to actually play them well

Tough to reproduce the spontaneity of the first sloppy but lively take 30 takes in

@ptawat.bsky.social what’s up man this is markujiro from FAWM

People in Europe and beyond are listening to Bad Bunny, using his music in social media posts. The culture that the U.S. is exporting is what conservatives would call “woke” (without knowing what it means). Nobody abroad gives a damn about Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and other white nationalist (artists)

“Approached with a gun” I wish I were still teaching intro to ling so I could use this as an example of ambiguity

None of my music is made with AI, unless you mean 愛

I keep trying to think of things from grad school that feed my opinions on politics but aside from a respect for research and researchers I think most of it just came from empathy and maturity in general

Chief of War is a great show. Hope they make more of it.

Man I hope they make more Poker Face

I don’t think the penalty should prevent that last play from going on Goff’s highlight reel

I prefer to read this comma as a comma splice: “Please tax the rich, and also please like me”.

I did not know that rule about backward passes

I think a losing season the year after a super bowl appearance is as good a time as any for a name change

I really enjoy reading Ss’ end-of-semester reflections, even the ones that are written by AI and mention things we definitely didn’t do

Between November 2025 and November 2025, I released 3 albums after 20 or so years of playing covers and being extremely self-conscious and embarrassed at the thought of anyone listening to my original songs. Now that the dam has finally burst, I’m grateful for every listen.

AI in academia at this point reminds me of social media: people sign on for the legitimate uses and then misuse it 99% of the time

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

Bummed that English Teacher was cancelled

Album 3 is out! epistemicsilence.bandcamp.com/album/pathom...

How many spellings exist of Davante/DeVonta?

I don’t know what exactly to call this type of ambiguity, but I enjoy it

Anyone else read the incoming New Jersey governor’s name as みきえ

I really don’t envy people who teach statistics on the regular. It seems like a field especially prone to losing students early on and never getting them back on board

Change one letter, ruin a candy Katjes Minder

I need a cultural anthropologist to explain this tattered flag design that’s been on clothes, trucks, etc. for the past decade or so

Is there a term similar to subtractive bilingualism but for culture? Like how study abroad leaves you less able to take the norms of your first culture for granted, which makes you less functional in that culture

The Panthers still have the much better team colors

Small world, met someone who was teaching in a program that my wife was in when she was an international student the year that we met

Led a group of assembled teachers on a Green Day singalong today

Did a really old-fashioned thing in class today and it was actually refreshing

どちらの方ですか とずっと聞かれていません

Doesn’t it seem like Halligan was just looking for a friend

Today at uni reminded me of the time the wifi went out in my dorm and we all explored the world of in-person communication

I don’t know much about the phonology of Palestinian Arabic, but I know that if you pronounce it /hɑmæs/ in an American English sentence, you’re respectable, and if you pronounce it /həmɑs/ you’re barely literate

Turnout in small town Utah was pretty good - maybe 3% of the town’s total population showed up.
