The community college where I teach just hired a Chief AI Transformation Officer, and I am actually thinking optimistically about it. Like, my school is so comically desperate to be on-trend and taken seriously that this move can only end up being a waste of time and money. #bubble

Didn’t expect Vanderpump Rules to be THIS much about dead dads.

Too bad walking my two dogs at the same time is the worst thing I’ve ever experienced in my almost 40 years of life

Starting to feel like there’s only two options for next semester re AI: - Absolute zero tolerance, let the students get furious, let admin be swamped under complaints - Give up completely, pass ‘em all if that’s what my institution wants, find the few who care, & save my time

I know I obsessively read everything about AI, but *this* article is exactly right about everything. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

I have been very anti-“it’s important to teach students email etiquette” respectability. Buuuuuuut the students are now fully treating email like text messaging (they even say “I’ll text you” to me) and rapid-fire message me multiple times in a row. Nopeeee nope nope.

Ted Chiang’s AI piece is excellent, but I’ve been thinking a lot about his speculative op-ed and the idea that AI is supposed to “democratize education.” Students at elite institutions can afford to take time to learn & avoid AI. www.nytimes.com/2019/05/27/o...

The people who say, “Well, AI’s not going away…” in meetings like they’re sharing something I don’t lie in bed grinding my teeth over make me so so mad.

I’m realllllly trying to not feel salty, so as an academic in TX who has already been living with anti-DEI terror for a year… uh, welcome, y’all! Just FYI: you may want to read about our Senate Bill 37. Cause they’re coming for Faculty Senates and ethnic studies.

I know academia has been fucked for a long time, but AI, student deportations, and anti-DEI all hitting at once is truly too much. (I’m having trouble being around people who aren’t horrified every second.)

I’m not joking. This is so sad, it almost made me throw up. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jfsFrK/

My two favorite performances of 2025 so far: Tom Sandoval humming nursery rhymes and Mark Duplass playing Michael Barnett. (Both creepy lil psychos!)

I wrote about Bartleby and AI!!! 💀✉️ www.c19society.org/teachingc19a...
