this one’s definitely worth a read if you’re into mls

Great thread--read the whole thing. Commercially-produced AI is almost entirely a plague on education: it does almost nothing useful and is playing a big role in sabotaging the development of the expertise and knowledge required for the few modestly helpful applications of generative AI.

i’m the kind of guy who insists to the doubters that the ILL notification system is, in fact, down.

really don’t get most late-1960s films (not for a lack of trying)

the hits keep on coming

you know what? there’s absolutely no reason why you should feel like you have to learn how to surf.

“I asked ChatGPT,” well I asked your mom and she said you’ve always been a disappointment

pet peeve: former american soccer players who talk about football when they’re analysts on u.s. tv.

These are all amazing projects, and well deserved. But yet again, the ACLS only awards projects on Latin America by historians. No one from a Spanish dept in sight. 🙄

Arsenal played with so much confidence and without fear, when on night’s like this, with so much at stake, things can get tight and stuffy. There was none of that despite injuries. Lightness to it all, and fun to be had. Great to see players enjoy these big games.

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

Eric Hoyt wrapped the panel by recording his own love tape, and expressing his feelings about the NEH. In the spirit of Wendy Clarke’s work, he’d like for it to be shared widely and seen by as many people as possible. #SCMS25 #scms2025 #neh

Two-thirds of both houses of Congress could undo this whenever they want by passing a bill over Trump's veto taking all power to set tariff rates away from him. Tariffs are set by law. The Constitution gives the president no power over tariffs--only our current laws do that.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

it's been years upon years of labored "campus culture" op-eds from salaried writers hectoring students about free speech, and now the state is kidnapping students for their speech in broad daylight

Share the media. The news is compromised. We're starting to boil over.

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

who is flooding @bsky.app with bots? i got followed by like thirty accounts today, none of which look real.

last week, i took one of my sons to a game shop for pokémon day. when i was asked what i knew about the game (and its worlds), they were not impressed with my answer: “i saw INSPECTOR POKÉMON.” 🥴

how many of the intellectual authors of trumpism are failed, loser academics?

if the world is falling apart, arsenal could at least beat forest. is that too much to ask?

If you’re a T-Mobile customer and a #MLS fan, today’s the day: you can get a code for free #MLSSeasonPass. You if you don’t have T-Mobile and want Season Pass…time to make friends with someone who has T-Mobile.

fifa should be dismantled.

few things make me as happy in these dark times as much as the hoo-h’HOO-hoo-hoo of my neighbor.

The most incompetent white people on earth blaming black and brown people for a plane crash is peak weak whiteness.

sure i’m late to this, but today i heard a computer scientist refer to AI not as artificial, but simulated intelligence. that’s what it is—(poorly) simulated intelligence.

sage words, discepolín

(redacted, but i’m steamed!)

The same dudes who fetishize the supposed lost strength and competence of their forefathers want computers to write their emails for them.

figured we might have to wait for them to vikings it up, but minnesota’s gonna minnesota. #skol

ah, yes, nothing like replying multiple times to the same email 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now this, this is looting. Ain’t nobody gonna be arrested for it either.

This is Los Angeles. You step outside and breathe in the ashes of your friends' homes while charred pages from someone's beloved books glide to your feet on poison winds.

2025 so far

file under things i hate: referring to a meat as a “protein.”

now that this silly soda is gaining popularity, will folks pronounce my last name correctly?

was fortunate to avoid this in grad school, but i have lots of scars from my first job.

never in doubt 🤘🏻

If you start watching NEW JACK CITY at exactly 11:25:55 pm today, your boy Flavor Flav will scream “HAPPY NEW YEAR!” right as the clock strikes midnight,,, and we can celebrates together,!!

our outgoing president will (apparently) sign off (or not) on our promotion cases before her last day, 12/31. any guesses when i’ll find out?
