Get in, buddy. We're getting roasted in the unsolicited AI email summary.

It would be a fun goof for an Olympic skier to spray their mouth and say WITNESS ME before starting the downhill.

New design in the works. Coming to a Pacific APA near you?

Every introduction's a meet-cute if you're adorable.

Want to make it seem like you didn't use AI to write? This AI company can "help" you with that! (h/t @jennysaul.bsky.social)

Jesus pretty famously says "I am the light of the world." That's in John. But in Matthew he doesn't say that. What he does say is *you* are the light of the world—meaning y'all. I think about that a lot.

Going completely rogue today. (Slightly reorganizing a draft.)

Mandatory thread.

Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe...: the starry heavens above me and the microplastics within me.

bros before hoes voice:

Ansel Adams was alive for two decades after Mountain Dew went into wide distribution. Do y'all think Adams ever did the Dew?

Two things can be true. Just two... really long things.

Gmail wants to "help" me write my email by suggesting a worse, factually incorrect email that mimics some of my writing habits. I cannot stress enough how much I do not need that.

I'm trying to coordinate a retreat for 9 or 10 academics all at different institutions. We've settled on a weekend but... not a country.

Two things can be true. That's the first one. You're gonna want to choose the second wisely. Actually, hold up. Now up to thr... aww dammit.

NBC keeps putting a graphic of a football field next to Olympics event courses for scale. I hope they do that for the Superbowl too so I can compare.

Within a month of our President calling all Somalis "garbage," saying "they contribute nothing" that "they come from hell," "I don't want them in our country," the DOJ appears to be creating a separate process for deportation proceedings based on nationality just for Somalis.

Anyone want to finish writing this referee report for me? I'll pay you double what they're paying me.

Replace 'Epstein' with 'women'. Not so offensive now is it?

"The argument provides little in the way of substance, leaving the reader hungry for more. After stewing on section 2.1, I feel that a heartier treatment of-"

What do we think, chat. Should I continue to write this referee report while hangry?

"Has being against human trafficking gone too far?"

Charting a course between the pro- and anti-whistle crowds.

A classmate I hadn't spoken to since 2008 reached out to say that I was on the front page of reddit. Friendships come and go, but tweets are forever.

I'm not making up a guy to get mad at; I'm exhibiting pareidolia, a mechanism important to the survival of our species.

I'm beginning to suspect that people are wrong about the moral valence of this bunny.

People talk about how doing the right thing can be hard and might be unpopular, but I feel like one thing people don't say is that sometimes it will make you feel like you're in trouble. Like in the visceral elementary school sense.

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

On the sixth day God created a guy, and that guy's name was Guy.

Catherine O'Hara was one of a kind. She had this immense ability to breathe life into a script. Ah, this is so sad. 🎵My sweet, my dear, my darling, you're so far away from me Though an ocean of tears divides us Let the bridge of our love span the sea🎵 youtu.be/3eflj2EWZzg

Every day there's something new that knocks the wind out of you. I genuinely don't understand why no one can stop what's happening.

And don't get me started on the river they're NOT at the mouth of.

How was this an entire year ago.

Sending an email consisting just of a closed parenthesis because you noticed that you had missed one in the previous email? It's more likely than you think.

This is such a good paper title.

The world is heavy. But this week I sent off an art project I'd been stuck on for months. I'm putting finishing touches on a tattoo design for a friend. I get to write, hang out with some of my favorite people, and tell my students they're doing a good job. Somehow, some things are all right.

A good read. open.substack.com/pub/timhjers...

Oh come on. (To be clear, my post below was jokingly misinterpreting *getting ICE more training* as meaning getting the people who work for ICE education so they can switch fields.)

Yes, we should retrain ICE. Are they competent in MS Office? Maybe they could take computer classes.
