Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

As deepfakes blur truth and political divides widen, the arts and humanities offer essential skills such as reflection and resilience. And, of course, they provide respite and balance. Patty Raun explains: https://ow.ly/AsL250XwYTK #HigherEd #AcademicSky #EduSky

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

They aren't really targeting professors in Texas, are they? Me:

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go! Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest. /1

Me on 1 October

Nothing says your faculty is under stress more than a student noting that more than one of your colleagues makes the same jokes as you do about potentially "getting fired for what I'm about to say."

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Every time someone says, "I used ChatGPT to help with this," I immediately assume they suck.

I saw where someone on Facebook called an African-American a 'jigaboo'. So I reported the comment. Facebook determined that it doesn't violate their community standards.

This is the second violent threat against another country he's made in the last 24 hours. That Nobel Peace Prize is right around the corner.
