Some Christians think the rapture is happening in a window between the 21st-24th as in starting tomorrow and if true dear god come get your children and leave us in peace why tf has it taken this long

If we live in a society where a man is free to be a professional shithead, we have to live in a society where we're free to call a shithead a shithead

I keep getting this ad with some bearded dude confidently saying, "the reason butter is CALLED butter is because of the butyric acid" apparently completely innocent of the fact that he's completely full of shit

Hello, everyone! Here is my introductory video where I talk about my role as the student assistant for the JLA! I'm so excited to share the Journal's information with you all!

when I think about what the United States might be I think about my earliest memories of the oppressive heat in Dublin in the summer of 1976 that stretched into the gloam of bedtime and the relief of being back for the bicentennial holding my toddler body in front of a leaking window air conditioner

I don’t know, as I’m not one of your fancy pants big city lexicographers? But I think English might have a word for “roommate he is in a relationship with”

free access to adobe products is still far too expensive.

setting aside the next few hours to read all of the apologies and watch all of the contrite videos of conservatives walking back calls for retaliation and violence against the left

This a federally-monitored website. The regime is on highest alert. Anyone posting advocacy for violence right now is a fedposter or a fool. This has nothing to do with what is right or wrong or what you have a right to say. It's simply a fact.

when blogs first became a thing I (a) assumed the name wouldn’t stick because ‘web logs’ were already a thing that httpd produced to log traffic and (b) assumed that the population of people drawn to write them would eventually be self-selecting for people who write well. I was wrong on both counts.

it's The Department of Mexico

Okay, but why does this have to be the world at the time we live in it?

I hate the mindset that college should prepare you for a job. Whatever you do, please don’t waste your one chance to go to college trying to gamble on ways to make yourself more worthy of generating shareholder value. Use college to learn things. Lock-in and feed your curiosity.

diagnosing "mitochondrial diseases" on sight is just a sicko's way of telling yo mama jokes

ditching facebook, twitter, tiktok, etc. didn't hurt because I didn't enjoy them or find them useful, but this full-scale enshittification of youtube REALLY sucks. ca.news.yahoo.com/youtube-snea...

Sometimes praxis looks like NOT, as a white person, explaining to the Black, American political journalist that Reconstruction was never completed. Probably he knows? Most assuredly he knows.

Here's a new one for those of you interested in #LinguisticLandscapes

IT IS almost religious! If you deny their New AI God, they respond like you blasphemed, and you must be converted or shunned from all polite company

Steve Martin is 80 and doesn't look a day over Steve Martin at 25

The failure of Reconstruction casts a long shadow.

Democrats would bring a nice dish to pass to a knife fight

that's 35% too high (assuming a 3% margin of error)

For all of the educators trying to deal with AI, I did a deep dive in early June and these are the four articles I decided to assign to my students. 1. This is the longest of the bunch, but so wonderfully comprehensive. www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1...

Trump admin must restore 100s of UCLA research grants, federal judge rules www.latimes.com/california/s... worth noting—this lawsuit was filed by a group of academics, not UCLA or CA. Hope academics at other schools follow their lead before there are more settlements (& tenure still exists)!

I'd much rather lose youtube altogether than upload my government id to keep using it. No idea how i'll ever repair anything again, though

Anyone wowed by generative AI should be given a teddy ruxpin with an assortment of ted talk cassettes and a quiet place to marvel at its wisdom

🧵🧵🧵 In this thread, I lay out more than a dozen facts about Trump and his child-molester friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. I challenge you to read the whole thread and then decide what the odds are that Trump did not abuse girls or tolerate his pals Epstein and Maxwell doing so.

speaking as a non-christian, can the rapture please be real and happen now?

Non-linguists disprefer luff, to turn a ship so you're sailing closer to the wind, because it's too similar to 'love' which is also precisely why linguists are pleased it exists.

Tonight a cricket decided it would be a great idea to wriggle its way between the screen and a window sash and plop itself on the floor between two very awake cats. RIP Mr. Cricket. Your brief career as a home intruder was the most exciting thing that's happened to our cats in a week.

so I'm supposed to populate my Canvas site, like there aren't plug-ins now for students to fake any work I ask of them, and turn it on like it's Fall 2015 and democracy in the US hasn't fallen and there isn't a chance that any masked gunman who breaks into my classroom is there on official business?

I defended my thesis 14 years ago today and I almost never feel guilty like I should be working on it anymore.

One thing about being a phonetician, as opposed to say, a plumber, is that I can't just quit my job and show up in Dublin or Toronto and try to find work. Also, my job pays less than a plumber and is less useful to people. That's three things.
