If I had a make-a-wish situation I would make-a-wish to chat with Mina and David Dennis Jr (all one name for me) about LIB and also about any season of Married at First Sight

Diane Keaton was not only a stellar artist and generational talent, she could also seemingly raid anyone’s wardrobe, even, apparently, Tom Wolfe’s, and step out looking like a gazillion goddamn bucks. What an absolute legend. Fuck, I really can’t even with this today. RIP to the fucking realest

I heard this performed live last night and, well, if you need some good art injected into your veins, this is it www.yourclassical.org/story/2024/0...

What a week to pull both Dart and Skattebo off the bench due to injuries and byes wreaking havoc on my starters 😂😂☠️☠️

I swear, I feel like I’m living in some surrealist novel, am I going to wake up one day and discover I have turned into a giant insect

Not only will AI grading be the end of teaching because of the labor dynamics Marc covers, but it kicks off a process of what I call "self-alienation" where the teachers gradually remove themselves from the essential human experiences of their own work.

The talking point “whatever you think of AI it’s here to stay” is a political position and a radical one, not a statement of fact.

The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

I would struggle without a keyboard because I can't handwrite as fast as I type; last time I tried to handwrite anything longer than a grocery list, I got super-frustrated after about 30 minutes and gave up. Otherwise, I could do fine without most current writing technology, even stuff I use.

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

Not at all the point, but my God, she's a real one.

It is, far and away, the most challenging thing I’ve encountered since entering the academy. And that is saying a lot. I might be working on this but I keep putting it aside because I’m not medicated enough to describe how demoralizing it all is.

Hi friends, this wonderful fundraiser for my institution's Justice Learning Initiative has just 9 days left to reach its $25,000 goal. I care a lot about the mission of this initiative and I want it to have long-term impact in our community. Your gift can help alumni.coe.edu/g/justice-le...

www.eater.com/food-culture... @caddiealford.bsky.social for your food rhetoric files, here's a great deep dive on food/foodie culture

hive mind! help! my students are interested in reading perspectives on: pandemic's impact on learning, specifically screen time; audiobook 'reading' vs. 'eyeball' reading; whose fault are textbooks (haha! maybe a deep dive on the industry would interest them); and parenting/burnout/screens v. books

boycott Sinclair advertisers Menard's, Lebeda Mattress Factory, Wendy's, Liberty Mutual and let them know

do you guys remember that new yorker article that suggested a Claude "translation" of the first lines of Bleak House was a fine and appropriate use of AI to assist with reading comprehension? my fy students compared the passages today and were easily able to suck the air out of that argument.

i published this last year about the 1st apartment/neighborhood i shared with my now spouse of 12yrs & by an amazing twist of fate the units in our old building are now available for short term rent, so for christmas we've booked the unit below the one we once shared archetypemag.com/city-a-love-...

i've seen this clip quoted several times today in my TL and i finally decided to watch the video, it's chilling to read and a whole other level of agog/aghast to hear it aloud

i have had an essay for assay in my head for like 3 years and i have a sabbatical this spring that is entirely dedicated to my creative writing practice and folks, i'm finally gonna write the damn thing

This is why I have a deep suspicion of the "AI literacy" workshops being floated to profs by schools mainlining AI. Ed tech has co-opted "AI literacy" to mean "learn how to use our products" rather than "learn how AI works."

I have an edited collection in the set, I wonder how that will be dealt with (I have registered relevant information in the class solicitation!)

These are desperate attempts to embed AI technologies into schools and recruit lifetime users and I urge my fellow educators to see these attempts as such and refuse to be bought by Big Tech and this fascist government.

my personal feeling is we should have a federal program that pays for every us citizen to spend one beautiful late summer day at the US open watching tennis

Academics are under unrelenting pressure to accept the narrative of the inevitability of #generativeAI & to embrace it in teaching & learning. We resist - because it is ecologically destructive, ethically corrupt, & because it undermines the thinking abilities that make us both human & intelligent.

"In these morbid spaces, killers are viewed as martyrs, and they’re dubbed “saints.” Really, they’re influencers." This by @cwarzel.bsky.social is really good. A gift link!

I'm partial to everything on Monster, as that was my first REM album (thanks BMG!) but I might also say At My Most Beautiful

nice

teachers! excited to share a new website at this late date of Aug 15 to try to help us collectively prepare for back to school in the interpretative humanities classroom assaulted by the AI grift, so we don't have to go it alone. take a look, share, + most importantly: CONTRIBUTE against-a-i.com

This is misinformation to rile you up about Costco. Costco never sold it and ADF is claiming victory over nothing.

If your book is in this database of published material that was plagiarized without permission to shovel into the maw of AI (& it most likely is--I just checked & mine was there), add your information (title, publisher, ISBN number) to this attorney form to be part of a future class-action lawsuit.
