In this superman comic, a young Kal-El gets in trouble in school for writing his homework himself instead of using AI:

Holy cats, this is a terrible article on the great danger posed to higher ed by... teaching and learning centers? www.chronicle.com/article/why-...

People complain about the male loneliness crisis but then god forbid men try to have social hobbies

One of the things that I just kind of take as given about my field (learning design and faculty development) is that it will be perpetually ignored, unappreciated, and under resourced.

"You are the company you keep"

This is a helluva read: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

my latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

If you're an Apple-related IT type person I would LOVE your input in my annual Apple In The Enterprise Report Card survey by Friday:

I don't have a dog in the fight, but it's going to be really funny when you sad tomatoes finally realize you should actually watch Taskmaster. I promise I won't shame you. But, still. Your time starts now. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Your Star Wars pals @dmoren.com, @tonysindelar.bsky.social, and Kat are back with a brand new show: Maul - Shadow Lord We discuss the charisma of this Sith Lord/crime boss/suspect mentor, mixing crime tropes with our sci-fi, and a frankly surprising amount about ska. www.theincomparable.com/acp/108/

Today I wrote about "Incremental Course Re-Design Work" www.patreon.com/posts/increm...

I try really hard to always be courteous to my fellow internet denizens but apparently a quick way to get on my bad side is to be misleading and/or inaccessible with space/science things. Science should be for everyone and misinformation about it undermines the whole point of scicomm.

I have a new @chronicle.com essay thinking about what it means for employees and administrators during the Great Hunkering, where new jobs are hard to find and employee mobility is limited.

Look, it’s an excellent book. My publisher and my mom both say so.

I can relate.

There is tier 2 help desk staff memember who is SWEATING BULLETS right now.

There's not actually very many episodes where the romulans and the federation shoot at each other, there's way more episodes where they have tense standoffs and the crew has to have a bunch of meetings to discuss the potential repercussions of escalating hostilities...

that's.......the whole entire point of star trek

University instructors rarely receive any training in pedagogy or assessing learning.

So this is where we are now, huh? www.chronicle.com/article/can-...

I made a puzzle: Connections Puzzle #151: connections.swellgarfo.com/game/-OoLTFZThKR2upal2kaH

One thing I find truly mystifying about academia is how people you know will completely ghost you when you ask for help but people who you barely know will show great generosity.

We do a deep dive on what it is like to be on Jeopardy, and Jason’s game, which aired last night (watch the replay on Hulu).

Today is the day! Watch Jeopardy tonight as @godwelcomesall.bsky.social and I take on the amazing @feathersmcg.bsky.social - making this a Triple-J day on Jeopardy with @kenjennings.bsky.social!

I'm on yet another podcast gameshow!

This week I wrote: "Trust and Reality in an AI world: A Local Example" www.patreon.com/posts/trust-...

well that went way deeper than I was expecting

The kid from The Wire? Good for him!

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

god dammit i knew the linkedin games were all just trying to Enders Game me

I'm quite a ways from South Boston, and yet the local dunkin was still packed with green clad college students who had been pregaming.

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

Re-upping. Anyone?

All 10 episodes of Starfleet Academy are now out there. It's the best first season of Trek in a very long time. Give the kids a chance.

Things one might think are not punk but are actually very punk, a list. I'll go first: 1. Book groups.

“Zotero is the closest thing i have to a religion” - librarian presenting at a conference

I'm just a social scientist, once again asking the people of the world to consult one of us before deploying survey instruments. 🤦🏻‍♀️🫠

Justice for Data and data

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

You know, I do hope RFK jr doubles down on his Dunkin Donuts thing because historically, picking fights with Bostonians over access to their beverage of choice has gone real well.

We'd all be happier if we lived somewhere walkable (The Deep Space Nine space station)

1953. It would appear that absolutely NOTHING has changed

Are you looking for a podcast gameshow that combines the inane logic with a text adventure with the nonsense of a party game??? Well first off, that's a very specific need. But second, good news, I made this: "Ruins of Ne Ork." www.theincomparable.com/gameshow/277/

This week I made a short video on setting up student teams for success: www.patreon.com/posts/tips-f...
