Welcome to the revolution, uh, Mitt Romney? That can’t be right.

This week I wrote about Stop Using Ed Tech for Cop Sh*t www.patreon.com/posts/stop-u...

did it in four words hemmingway

I wrote kind of a mini-review about Higher Magic, a book one of my colleagues wrote that I think it worth reading for anyone teaching/working in higher ed: www.patreon.com/posts/though...

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

A game where you can do anything and they’re mad that people are doing anything.

I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.

To celebrate "fangsgiving" I'm on the Incomparable podcast this week talking about Nosferatu (2024.) www.theincomparable.com/theincompara...

Thanks to diplomatic conventions any Dunkin' Donuts anywhere in the US counts as Massachusetts soil.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

A bit of Monday encouragement, should you need it. If you think you need it every day I can draw one for you. www.worldofmoose.com/products/car...

We need less podcasters in government.

God forbid people be comfy for what is often a stressful, exhausting, and unpredictable experience.

Elon Musk’s anti-woke version of Wikipedia, Grokipedia, cites neo-Nazi forums in multiple places as source. A great validation of the notion that when people say they’re anti-woke, they just mean they’re hyper racist.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

This week I wrote up some thoughts on the book "The Opposite of Cheating" www.patreon.com/posts/though...

If you are writing an opinion piece about higher education and the three example institutions you use are Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, please just throw your writing in the trash. You are not writing about higher ed, you are writing about a tiny elitist unrepresentative sliver of higher ed.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

This week I wrote about "What Does Workplace Culture Look Like Online?" www.patreon.com/posts/what-d...

If three people host a podcast all three should be in a constant state of paranoia about being betrayed by the other two

I tried to login to a site with a moving letters animated captcha and failed the captcha. I closed the window, because at this point in the week I'm just not going to do better on the second attempt.

I keep getting this ad for men’s clothing. It’s absolutely wild that it took this long for Han Solo Core to catch on.

When confronted with the important question of what is in the corner, Michael Stipe churned out this crap: "That's me in the corner/That's me in the spotlight/Losing my religion." While Mike Mignola, conversely, responded with the all-time classic "Is that a monkey?" "WITH A GUN!" "BLAM BLAM"

I wasn't ready for fall when I recorded this silly game show *checks notes* a week and a half ago. But now I totally am! Did recording this podcast help with that? Yes! https://www.theincomparable.com/gameshow/267/

Have you filled a city kermit for this protest?

Most people are decent, honest folks trying to do their best in challenging times. Except for that one coworker who kept trying to convince me The Orville was better Star Trek than Discovery. No thanks, Dude.

My latest column for the Chronicle of Higher Ed is now live. It's an argument for including AI-critical voices in campus conversations and policymaking workgroups, and I'm proud to get this dissenting piece into the mainstream genAI/higher ed discourse. Please read and share if you're so inclined 🙂

If your political party is pro-masks for law enforcement but against people wearing masks for their health, maybe you should think about your party affiliation. #dontatmebro

The only thing more dreadful that living terminally online, is to be unaware that you are living terminally online.

John Oliver on Trump’s attack on higher education: ‘No capitulation will be enough’

Everyone wins! #alttext #accessibility

This made me laugh. And then I sat and thought about it. This is correct.

This week on Tony's Teaching Tips, I wrote about "Thinking Big and Lofty with Course Design" www.patreon.com/posts/thinki...

Thread. Columbia's cowardice is cataclysmic in both its scope and the effects it will have on the rest of higher ed.

When Larry Summers is the moral conscience of your institution, that's a big problem

The right-wing backlash against #Superman has happened before. Here’s my @vanityfair.com report w/ the full history —starting with April 1940, when the official SS newspaper attacked the comic book hero & its creators. Plus, that time Superman fought the KKK… 🔗 www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

This is such an insightful, well-written piece about popular culture, politics, and superheroes.

I think the people who don't understand what Superman is about are might really dig the Earth 3 version

This is ridiculous garbage. The tone and structure of the story is “mayoral candidate invents racial identity in failed attempt to be admitted to elite school.” The correct story is, “So many diasporas exist that checkboxes don’t let us tell our story. Mamdani comes from a group of people

This week on Tony's Teaching Tips I wrote about "What Does it Take To Develop an Online Course?" A question I am often asked by faculty and administrators: “How many hours does it take to develop an online course?” Read at: www.patreon.com/posts/what-d...

Your Star Wars pals @dmoren.com, @tonysindelar.bsky.social, and Kat return to discuss three pretty good episodes and three not-so-good episodes of Tales of the Underworld, including what makes bad guys compelling, uncertain timelines, and de-/re-canonized characters. www.theincomparable.com/acp/104/
