I don't know if this is real or just a vibe, but it feels like a somewhat ironic side effect of americentrism in the US amongst well-meaning folks is thinking that other developed countries are politically "normal" or politically "USA pre-2015."

JOB: FSU is hiring an Assistant Professor of Music Theory (tenure track)! I am on the committee and happy to answer any questions. societymusictheory.org/resources/jo...

why can’t my gaming laptop handle Nubby’s Number Factory

gen z's "we're so cooked" is the same as millennials' "this is the worst timeline" - you repackage the same guileless cringe you swore to destroy

you ever just

why do we (I mean people speaking and writing American English) love putting "extremely" in front of any adjective when the noun is almost never exhibiting an extreme level of that adjective? It's my easiest writing tip to students because it's widespread

Hi @tressiemcphd.bsky.social, In a bibliography, should it be: Cottom, Tressie McMillan or McMillan Cottom, Tressie?

timeline cleanse. first is a picture of a weary tree frog who has hung out in a plastic tube in our backyard all summer long

*New Funding Opportunities for Julianne* weekly digest and it's always, without fail, something about using or developing "AI." I'm tired boss

got the new booster! in florida!!

At least 6 HCBUs? Sadly I can't say that I'm not sure why more people aren't talking about this apnews.com/article/thre...

Information environment has reached its grotesque conclusion in that there is a very real killer out there who has not been identified, apprehended, or investigated, a detail practically inconsequential to nearly every commentator’s purposes.

reading the readings I assigned with my own free will <<<

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices, If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text. You get the idea. If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

THIS IS THE LYRIC!!?! (yes I've been listening to this song for months)

bryson stott pick a new song!!!

alabma roll tired

Almost as bad as when FSU stopped calling June 19 "Juneteenth" and switched to "Federal Holiday" this summer

the total eradication of areas of research not otherwise prioritized anywhere else, all after blowing it on crypto scams, and I assume the econ department is thriving

the only problem with the taylor/travis engagement is that the jokes aren't funny and the memes don't hit. the internet today is a private jet dissociated from the content needs of the economy class & the only reason anyone's "entire workplace" is talking about it is bc they lack union protections

Besides what it means and all, Labor Day is one of my favorite holidays because at my school we have one full week of classes and then in the second week there's this little treat

my hobbies over recent years include filling out Google forms to add my alumna signature to various open letters to the University of Chicago

the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.

Can we reflect on how elected Democrats haven't said "latinx" since 2021 and yet I still see two articles a week telling them to stop? The evidence doesn't indicate that Dems using SJW jargon is a real problem — it's something the far right says to justify their actions.

Really allergic to the term “food noise” lately … like it’s actually a really good metaphor but it’s also like it’s a requirement to talk about if you’re on a GLP-1 and you want your friends to be on it too

It's really hard to handle everything around you being guided by the imaginary vibes of people who are afraid of subways and writing their own emails.

nothing, and I mean NOTHING, busts through my feeds harder than medical scrubs. My FYP is reliably absurdist anti-humor, frogs being idiots, and leftist mom reels but ALSO i am being sold STAIN RESISTANT SCRUBS every 2 seconds like the internet thinks I'm a real doctor but I don't want no scrubs

Tonight we have the privilege of having @floreustebius.bsky.social on as our guest to discuss more of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! Come have yet another baguette with us at twitch.tv/bardicknowledge from 9-11pm Eastern!

the most political I can get publicly is about AI so I keep doing that. Anyway honestly the creepiest take by regular degular people about generative AI is when they say "it's here to stay, get used to it" while ALSO agreeing with every negative point about it

not gonna link to it, but yeah the Jim Acosta "interview" with an AI kid who was killed at Parkland is demonic, evil, grotesque, shameful, whatever the strongest condemnatory term you can find is kid is dead. that's the point. it's supposed to hurt. we cannot speak to him. that's the point.

Sinners is such an entertaining, moving, and good-sounding movie

The early 2000s needed media that included girls brain-empty in front of the family computer all summer playing The Sims. Please correct me if I’m wrong and we had representation somewhere

Looked at my 11 y/o niece's yearbook. They do still sign them and they all still write HAGS 😭

I've never been lazier in a game than in Blue Prince. Logging into the computers feels like my real job. Whenever Boiler Room pops up my heart sinks into my butt. I could have 1000 steps left but doubling back to a room for something makes me want to call it a day.

Tallahassee doesn't have the highest cost of living sure but why do you have all these NON-entry-level full time jobs paying **35k** a year? Extra grateful for our faculty union who has negotiated salaries at the top of our local federal scale even for us measly humanities profs. It's bleak out here

Why does Delta always have to play Benson Boone during boarding. What is the situation there

Looks like the embattled National Weather Service did it's job here. It was Texas officials who failed to act on the weather service warnings for FOUR HOURS. Read this from Austin local news KXAN-TV: www.kxan.com/investigatio...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SMITHSONIAN FOLKWAYS

This is your friendly reminder to please consult the chart.

disabled folk, veterans, trans people getting arrested on the Hill every day while i see people on here crying that there's not enough protest

You will likely fail to convince a publicly funded university to reimburse $8 for in-flight wifi to use while working on a work trip, much less Premium Economy seats; government employees are not exactly bathing in champagne fountains out there

I was searching the internet for a kitchen timer

The Journal of Popular Music Studies, which I co-edit with Dr. Alisha Lola Jones, has openings for three positions -- an associate book reviews editor, an associate editor of the "field notes" section, and a web editor. Details at the link, spread the word: iaspm-us.wildapricot.org/JPMScallsfor...

Absolutely astounding that it is still controversial to point out that the anti-trans movement is driven by bigotry, not ethics-in-research concerns about children. They keep fucking telling you this to your face!

that our field exists lol

I keep being shocked at ow many there are and then I remember I am constantly realizing how naive I was at how many people my age: - had their parents/others help with or downright do homework & college apps - cheated happily ("everyone cheats"), and/or - accepted zeroes these are the same people
