Spock’s mom embarrassed him. There are things which are universal. #metvstartrek

You just can’t find a good milkmaid of the month anymore. #MeTVBatman

As family homelessness hits record highs, school districts are offering parking lots as safe sites for students and their families to sleep at night

I can’t wait until #houseofsvengoolie shows “The Devil’s Rejects.” #Svengoolie

Quite a brouhaha about this movie on FB right now. The show has folks crying for traditional family safe films, while others clamor for the show to “grow up” and “get with the times.” You really can’t please everyone. #HouseOfSvengoolie #Svengoolie

Which hashtag do we use tonight? #houseofsvengoolie Or #svengoolie Or both?

The Sven Squad takes over for a babysitting job Saturday night on MeTV- when Mia Farrow is an expecting mother whose weird neighbors are preparing something more evil than a gender reveal party for “Rosemary’s Baby”! The sinister stroller rolls at 8 pm eastern/pacific, 7 central time!

Going to a commencement today. Such events will never fail to remind me of that most difficult graduation day in 2017. Sad so many others are living through their own versions of it. #academicsky #selfpromotionsaturday #selfpromosaturday #writer

The probability of this level of musical cohesion occurring by chance is negligible. His skill is…evident.

White-knuckling it through May as the headlines bring the memories back. Here’s why. #academicsky

It’s both, but I’m thinking “dystopian.” “A lifeline or ‘dystopian’?: Schools open parking lots for homeless students and families.”

#TeamRhetoric I am *blanking* on a word: catalyst, impetus, something like that, but with a particular rhetorical inflection. Help? ::puppy dog eyes::

**NEW PUB ALERT** 🚨 Writing motivation gets a lot of attention, but writing engagement, i.e. how students actually participate in writing and the writing process, is the stronger predictor of achievement. Read more here: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #writing #teamrhetoric

The philosopher thinks humans should pursue advanced AI and the promise of a “solved world.”

I’m not his biggest fan, but hearing this @npr.org interview has me thinking Short’s documentary is required viewing for anyone wondering how we process grief. Moving through grief and loss was a major reason why I wrote “Requiem for a College.” See response.

“We’ve chosen works that have stuck with us over the years,” Cocker told the Guardian. “We’re trying to encourage people to realise that they have creativity within them.”

A fun way to celebrate RIO, released on this day in 1982 💃🏻 #duraniversary 🎨 ruby perman

Duran Duran released Rio on this day in 1982 (10 May 1982). You can replay the listening party (no_184) here:

Takeaways I love from this wonderful soul: “You know, it’s impossible not to be a moron in your teens.” (So true. 😞) “somebody told me: ‘Beware. You may be pegged as a genre film-maker.’ It was like a dire warning.” (I got that in grad school.)

30 minutes? Why that’s also the length of this show. #MeTVSuperman

I don’t mind the Cochrane continuity mismatches half as much as I do the whining of scientist. #metvstartrek

Hey…how’d that get in here? #metvbatman

I just happened to rewatch “Prometheus” last night. I think I know where this is headed. #Svengoolie

Clear the air lanes! #Svengoolie

@nonlinearbotanist.bsky.social thank you for the repost!

Don’t worry about being first to post a live comment during “First Men in the Moon” tonight on MeTV! Post anytime using the hashtag #svengoolie and keep in mind you will see the first WOMAN in the moon as well!

For #selfpromosaturday I'm reminding everyone that my Action-Heroes #TTRPG is back in print and available to order now at DriveThru! I am so proud of how this game turned out, and after a lot of work after the original publisher returned the rights, I am glad to have it available again. #RPG

Today's episode of The Ezra Klein Show. One in eight American adults is taking GLP-1s. What does that mean for how we relate to our food, bodies and one another? With Julia Belluz, co-author of the book “Food Intelligence". open.spotify.com/episode/7o8i... youtu.be/T_JKQt4mp5I?...

May is traditionally a time of celebration in academia. It won’t be for employees and students of colleges that just closed. Find out how it happened to me and why it’s happening to others in “Requiem for a College.” #selfpromosaturday #selfpromotionsaturday #academicsky

Hackers, no doubt AI-boosted, just disabled most of education in America for a time. I’m still trying to correct the after effects. It’s almost like all of us being reliant on one platform is a bad idea…

“The casualties are staggering, with an estimated eighty-nine colleges closing or merging since 2020 alone and forecasts that a quarter of the nation’s private colleges and universities are at risk in the coming decade.” Don’t I know it. See response to this post. #academicsky

Don’t run universities like a business run it as a public good

Yet another case of “real life is stranger than fiction.”

I have the rudiest of rudimentary sites but the PayPal link works if anyone is awake and wants to get one of these in tomorrow's mail drop. The web site of daveygandthe share.google/i7L3P88IGAiJ...

People saying we need to go back to only pencil and paper and chalkboards and dittoed handouts: Give me a break, especially if you never taught that way. There has to be a way to have the convenience of putting course material online without handing it over to one huge but vulnerable platform.

How, you ask, can the Canvas experience get any worse?

In the Neuromancer books, William Gibson envisioned a dynasty of oligarch dorks who achieved "immortality" by having AI versions of their minds built by lackies. It was basically satire, but leave it to today's oligarch dorks to be like "that sounds awesome, make it so."

Missed this from a year ago.

They probably won’t ever be conscious. But we will *treat* them as if they’re conscious. And that’s when things get…interesting.

I think the month of May sucks. It’s often been a time of loss. One of my biggest losses was a small college in Indiana. I hate seeing college closings keep happening to others, and that’s one of the reasons I’ve written this book. #academicsky #writer

Just going to leave this right here to think about.

I appreciate this smart take, and I hope beyond hope it’s correct. However, I’ve been watching AI for 15 years and in the beginning, I naively failed to account for greed and anti-intellectualism.

Oh that was magnificent. #metvbatman

Is it Britain? Bavaria? *shrug* I’m a man without a nation. #Svengoolie

Yeah. This is gonna be great.
