Local plumbers two steps ahead of every university administrator in america 👏

"I don't like being called cis" "I don't like being called white" "I don't like being called abled" That's because you view yourself as "normal" or "the default" and everyone else as *not*. Viewing yourself as the baseline is just another form of prejudice. It's just a more implicit type.

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

Read the whole thing, but this is really spot on. "It is dismaying to watch campus pour money into a technology that is cannibalizing student achievement across its disciplines."

On politicizing tragedies: if a tragedy happened because of political decisions, it is already political

I think if I were one of the top five teams in the world, I'd play a little more positively rather than embracing shithousery and waiting for a moment of brilliance from Messi or Alvarez.

Why do they allow defenders to wrap their arms around opponents on corner kicks? It's a bit ridiculous

We have an effective teaching course coming in the Fall! This is a six week course. You'll connect with teaching practices that help create classrooms where students can be academically successful, and feel supported at the same time. Application Deadline: 8/7/2026. Learn more: bit.ly/4fbSSw8

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Hello from academia

I love the right footed player standing there as if there is any chance Messi doesn't take that free kick

So at least on mobile, if you start typing a post and then hit cancel, the first button is "Save draft" and the second is "Discard". It is baffling to me that the default is thus presented to be "Save draft". This place would be greatly improved if people discarded a whole lot more posts.

People like to get big mad about referees correctly applying rules they don't understand.

Not really following the logic where you play a center back at right back and a right back in defensive midfield

I am amazed how much runway this very long tenured guy is getting for this story despite most stories including a lot of context that suggests he isn't a good teacher in the first place, often a reason students who are confused about a class with high stakes assignments go to AI in the first place.

How should grading systems respond to #GenAI? Our new study on grades in an age of assessment reform is now out. We call for fundamental rethinking on how student achievement is recognises in #HigherEducation www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Yesterday a colleague was sharing about a semester in which the grading system had to be changed right before the final because grades were too low. Today this IHE piece reports the Brown professor changing the grading system right before the final because grades were too high.

Want to know how access to AI and LLMs impacts student behaviors and student performance? A fascinating new pre-print uses ALEKS data to give some preliminary answers. The title serves as the 4 word overview: Faster Completion, Less Learning. 1/n

Women’s World Cup is about 11 months away. FYI.

There’s never been anyone whose involvement more completely and immediately poisons vibes and destroys joy. No good thing survives contact.

Gianni Infantino 🤝 John Roberts Doing whatever Trump wants to keep enriching themselves and their greedy pals

Love that all of the correspondence about the session I am organizing at JMM goes straight to spam 🙄

This game got interesting fast

The soccer gods may have taken Cabo Verde away from us but at least we get to enjoy Norway a bit longer

This is NOT what the FIFA World Cup is about. The FIFA World Cup is about *opens history book* uh oh *Frantically starts flipping though pages* uh oh. oh no. no no no. uh oh

I feel like "Authoritarian president pressures FIFA president into changing their decision" really pushes us over the line. Especially on brand as a CONCACAF nation.

This is awesome and you should watch to understand the importance of separating content from presentation in STEM documents. If you also are concerned about accessibility for all, including non visual, readers, check out PreTeXt. We aim to make it as easy as possible at PreTeXt.Plus.

IFAB is going have to do something about how teams swarm the penalty spot, scuff up the mark, etc. There's no reason for defenders other than the goalie to be in the penalty area.

Imagine being stuck at a wedding instead of watching this

Even if every other game sucked (and they haven't), the 48 team tournament would be worth it just for this game

The GDP of Cabo Verde is only like 4 times the combined transfer value of the Argentina squad, and here they are tied at 1 with 20 minutes to go

This game is bonkers

I don't know when this "AI Inbox" showed up in Gmail but I have never disabled anything so fast

And consequently, hosting your blog on substack is not a neutral action.

I dont think this is so weird in the recent context of the men's hockey team partying with Kash Patel and laughing along with Trump's sexist jokes

So a Gordie Howe hat trick is a goal, assist, and a fight. I feel like Balogun's goal + red card should also have a cool name, like a "Zidane" or something.

Was just wondering why Rice is playing at right back, only for him to immediately make an incisive run from there into the area leading to the goal. Maybe Tuchel does know what he's doing.

I might have a new favorite place on this planet

Sometimes instead of tall trees I go and visit big trees

this morning's decision in the TPS case, Mullin v. Doe, is just a straightforward declaration from the Supreme Court that neither the law nor the lives of nonwhite people matter ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/mulli...

Mpasi is doing his best Eloy Room impression tonight. I think that's 5 saves before the hydration break.

Coffee maker seems to have died, so I dug out the emergency pour over (we learned the hard way that coffee is needed even more when you lose power for several days due to e.g. a hurricane). If anyone loves their drip coffee maker, let me know why---looking for recommendations.

Went to find some more tall trees today

This Türkiye-Paraguay game is quickly becoming the world cup equivalent of #Pac12AfterDark

Glad to see the referee correctly applying the new rule and sending Almiron off for covering his mouth while yapping at his opponent.

just heard someone describe the typical AI writing style as “LinkedIn Broetry” and there really isn’t a more perfect description
