Whew! Last class of the day.

The only thing worse than a selfish, stingy, cheap motherfucker is someone who turns that shit into a *philosophy*.

My tenure packet goal for this semester is to observe other professors' teaching. I havent done that before. I've only ever been in someone else's classroom as a student.

Having served in multiple countries run by ruthless dictators, I am accustomed to their tactics for keeping their populations under control. One of them is to employ a legion of fake opposition figures who promote the false narrative that "all parties are the same, so why bother voting?"

Paul Verhoeven undefeated in creating a movie that flies right over the heads of the people it’s making fun of

“Can I check a pulse?” yelled the bystander, standing across Portland Avenue from Renee Good’s lifeless body inside her crashed SUV, video footage of the exchange shows. “No,” an agent replies. “Back up.” “I’m a physician!” “I don’t care.”

I have rarely if ever regretted generosity.

once again shoutout to every dipshit who insisted it was hysterical to talk about trump and white supremacy in the same breath www.rawstory.com/trump-267487...

I spent the last $50 to my name and overdrafted my checking out for my first date with my now wife because I spent all my money on an end of semester BBQ event with my frat on campus a week prior. I gave no fucks.

If "financial celibacy" is a thing was I....a financial harlot my whole life??

"Financial celibacy" is hilarious lol.

"Financial celibacy" is the most ridiculous term and concept I have ever heard in my life.

🙂

First day of spring semester. Lets get it!

Both.

Idk if this is fake or not but assuming it’s real? KD is funny af

Everything is gender.

Jurnee Smollet better be in Sinners 2

“We’re going to educate our way out of this crisis,” the professor howls—uploading another YouTube explainer into the void.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

President Trump said that he is “inclined” to keep ExxonMobil out of Venezuela after its top executive was skeptical about oil investment efforts in the country after the toppling of former President Nicolás Maduro.

Im reading this book called The Gods of the Woods and its pretty good so far.

The Alpha Male podcast world is hilarious to me.

"As a Christian...".This is also another example of how the Christianity black people subscribe to and the one white people do aint the same and never really has been.

Again, another example of something you'd have to waterboard me to get if I actually believed something like this. Some men love making their spouses look like clowns unprovoked.

Yikes.

I wanna visit New Orleans. I think we will soon.

Arm yourselves.

The spead of how much things cost by location is wider than the spread of what you can earn by location. Learning what I could make working at Apple in the space ship vs what I'd have to pay in living costs within commuting distance of the space ship radicalized me lol.

Could be. Its peanuts compared to kids though.

Kids are expensive but seeing what other people be paying for childcare shocks me every once in a while.

You right but them prices are *insane*.

"One of ours, all of yours" is what the Nazis said to residents of occupied villages: if you harm one of our soldiers, we'll kill the whole village. It's called collective punishment, prohibited under military, US, and international law. The hysterical, ahistorical twit #KristiNoem is oblivious.

Not having a teachers' edition textbook is inconvenient but at least having to actually do every assignment you give students keeps you sharp.

Had a good weekend. Back to the grind tomorrow

Keep an open mind but not a mind so open your brain falls out when tryna reach.

DJT weaponized the DOJ & brought fake prosecutions against NY AG Letitia James & former FBI Director Comey. Now DJT's FBI won't cooperate with MI's law enforcement cuz they don't want an honest investigation. They want ICE feeling safe & free to murder.

This seems to strongly suggest that the incoming president of UVA doctored his CV to the edge of outright dishonesty, and that the most recent changes came months before Jim Ryan was forced, as if they were made in anticipation in Ryan’s removal. augustafreepress.com/news/vanishi...

There's no coherent argument for invading or buying Greenland, and when Trump tried to say one to NYTimes it came out as gibberish from a condo salesman about the pride of ownership. It's basically the same as declaring war on Germany to "own" Ramstein Air Base. No upside, immense downside.

Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted. ‘Add blood, forced smile’: www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Skater girls of Ethiopia

It's actually a good thing that previously apolitical normies are finally getting angry and starting to speak out. We need the numbers in the streets and at the polls. If your response to them is "no, fuck you, too late," then you don't actually care about stopping Trump. You're just preening.

My sign today.

There is absolutely no value Gen AI can bring to the classroom at any level of instruction. None.

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale co-founded the University of Austin Texas (UATX) in 2021. UATX’s recent “Convocation Address” was titled, “In Defense of Inequality.” “To the class of 2029: you have chosen to rebel. Not against hierarchy, but against its abandonment.” 1/ x.com/uaustinorg/s...

bluesky is a sealed epistemic environment and also i am going to make sure that no one can correct me when i say tendentious things like “kirk was killed by an ideological opponent”

Neurodivergent children or children with intellectual developmental disabilities are no different. You may have to adjust your expectations. You may have to find support accommodations. However, they deserve to contribute too. They deserve belonging and significance

Fear makes you feel smart making what are often irrational or even stupid decisions.

(The entire social media dating discussion is built on prevent defense like fear of abandonment/embarrassment which is why it’s all rigid strictures on behavior and perception.)
