I see we got to the point where Taylor Swift, someone who is world famous and way more than Travis, is now just "Travis Kelce's girlfriend" Also, I think they are engaged no?

I like when conservative lawmakers get outraged about "Sharia Law" and then get back to work trying to implement it in America.

people are sending me important memes

Made a meme. I think I'll be using it quite a bit.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

Just finished a series on the Flix, HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN FROM BELFAST, and it was really good. I do recommend it.

Movie idea. Apocalypse happens, some young kids after living in this and not knowing what caused it many decades ago, go on a journey to find a mythical building called a "library" to get answers. After some hijinks of course, the find the answer. Humans genetically gave cats opposable thumbs.

Like...how do you implement this? This makes no sense at all. I am sure there will be no lawsuits about this later where a student earns an A but is given a B b/c of this arbitrary cap. None whatsoever.

It's the dogshit AI slop, of course, and it's also *the department of education* saying "if you want to be able to eat and maybe afford a 1978 Ford E-150, your only hope is trade school"

Need to call a financial institution, website says they are open from 9-5. I call right now, at 4:48. Phone message says they are currently closed and to call between their business hours of 9-5. Am I missing something here? 4:48 is before 5 pm. EST.

Yesterday i had to go to a lawyer to help my dad with some documents. Well, they had the most vicious guard dog there. I was lucky to grab this pic before he started his serious job of patrolling the office.

And the upside for Republicans if partisan gerrymandering was limited is that they could win some districts in blue states in return.

I assign Sonja’s public pieces on the modern fad for AI reconstructions of portraits all the time when I teach Roman portraiture. Portraits aren’t Polaroids. There’s real harm in these studies.

One of the two public universities in Oregon currently undergoing retrenchment published a report on which programs make the most $ for the university (which shouldn't be the primary factor in keeping or cutting them), and the answer by a LONG SHOT was History/Poli Sci

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

Anytime I am in a meeting and someone says "Well I put this through AI to write it" I do 2 things. 1 - groan loudly 2 - lose all respect for you

This wasn't just tenure line professors. They only make up about 50%, pending the unit, of the faculty. We also have full time non-tenure professors that were a big part of this.

I just watched the last episode of GOOD OMEN, and it was simply beautiful. Such a wonderful way to end the show.

Cute little baby elephant face to help brighten your day.

I mean, isn't that wrong.

does Tunnel Vision refer to looking past Les Wexner and Dr. Richard Strauss??

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

I had this discussion with some friends before, but to be an effective politician, they need to study wrestling and how to give promo's. Embrace being the Heel when in the opposition. Embrace being a Face when in the majority. If I ever ran, I would legit talk to Heyman on how to do it.

Well Canvas is back up. I guess that is a good thing?

Saw this elsewhere

Yeah, at this point, all the talk of a "blue wave" in November I think will be meaningless since no matter what, the GOP will overturn any gains the Dems might get and not conceded power, ever. And the courts are all clearly letting them and even helping them. Democracy is dead.

Totally. If I were in Dem leadership, I'd invoke Congress's constitutional duty to "Guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government" and, in the same breath, explain that's why Congress must end partisan gerrymandering and strip the Court of power to interfere.

I have no doubt that the NCAA and B1G will come down hard on OSU just like they did to PSU in '11. HAHAHA, right, like that would ever happen.

I am really happy I finished grading my last course and entering grades about 30 min before Canvas was hacked.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

One reason Republicans are banning books and classes on race is because reading even one book about Jim Crow or Reconstruction makes it clear that they are hoping to reinstate segregation.

I absolutely love it that when I get a student who just finished a course with me ask "Are there any books I can get to learn more about this subject?" Oh my sweet innocent, I have been waiting a long time for someone to ask me this. Buckle up.

I appreciate he wore it in such a way to say MORE BULLSHIT.

more experiments with gold pics and old style image transfer! the texture it gives is really interesting.

That is an interesting quote. Did he write anything else? Like after 1795 or so?

Dem slogan should/could be - 1 billion for healthcare or 1 billion for a ballroom?

Even Boss Tweed would tell them to calm it down a bit.

White Republicans in Mississippi will vote to gerrymander Black voters out of political power in the same old capitol building where their ancestors voted for insurrection and Jim Crow. The past is never dead—it’s not even past. Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.

If I could convince students of one thing at the start of their college career, it is that you'll get as much out of a class as you put into it. Sure, some classes will suck for whatever reason, but most classes will have interesting material and impart lessons if only you put in some effort.

Where, where are these sex-crazed nudists? I must know where they are....to avoid them. Yeah that's it, I need to know their location to avoid them.

Local gas station just went up another 10 cents since Saturday.
