Tell me 5 classes you took in college: Bowling I Bowling II Postmodern Latin American Poetry Andalusian Archaeology Remote Sensing and Spatial Image Analysis

lol, they’re trying to flood the ratings

I love my gym. Today they were posting potato chip reviews.

Have a migraine. The timeline is doom and gloom. BUT I just remembered I am running a meeting with my TAs in 5 minutes so at least I’m showing up to that. (And had my marking guide from last year I could repurpose)

So will he be leasing it to ICE?

Ah I gather from R4 that govt are announcing a programme today where Microsoft and Google offer training to everyone in the country to use their AI tools, which I'm guessing this research was commissioned to justify. Also, great to be in a govt-backed multi-level marketing plan

Contrary to a commonly repeated myth, neither a Consulate nor an Embassy is actually foreign soil, nor is entering one illegally an 'invasion.' It is however a direct violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular/Diplomatic Relations, and a very big deal.

Who can import the vuvuzelas? Whistles, vuvuzelas, bagpipes, hurdy-gurdies (or is it hurdies-gurdy?)

more countries should do this, tbh.

My grandfather helped liberate Sicily, so I have it on good authority that this will not be the worst work trip an American has every had in Italy, but to any ICE agents looking to go to Milan this year: you are not prepared to find out what the second-worst trip looks like.

Pretty sure someone in my extended family signed up for several magazine updates. They did shortly after signing up for their local grocery store membership. They typoed the email and I think that is now autofilling things. And I think it’s my cousin’s wife as the grocery store is in their town.

“Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg approved allowing minors to access AI chatbot companions that safety staffers warned were capable of sexual interactions, according to internal Meta documents filed in a New Mexico state court case and made public Monday.”

Yesterday I had a very busy office hours. One student came to talk to me and at the end revealed they had never gone to anyone’s office hours before because it was too scary. But they came to mine because they knew it would be okay! 🥺

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post

When I went to the dentist for the first time here, in a place where they don’t have fluoride in the water, they said, “oh! You’re not from here.” And then said they could tell that I grew up with fluoridated water because of the great shape my teeth are in. What the hell are these MAHA clowns doing

TIL that I’m the kind of person who will subscribe to a monthly delivery of chia overnight breakfast oats.

I’m just a girl wrapped in a wool blanket, heated shawl, and with heat turned. My hands, feet and nose are like ice. Yeah, it’s not that cold but I’m a delicate flower.

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."

Save the date!

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

I research and preview shows that i think my wife will like. I know I’ve picked a good one when she sits on the edge of the sofa while she watches. Right now she’s watching Fallen Skies for the first time.

Commercial AI is dehumanization. It is evasion of accountability. It is the machine which has been chosen to smuggle totalitarianism into democracies.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life. They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”

BREAKING: We reviewed DOJ’s Epstein releases and uncovered 70+ files quietly pulled & reposted with new redactions That’s why @democracydefendersfund.org filed a formal complaint with the DOJ Inspector General calling for an expanded investigation Who do they think they’re fooling?👇 -TN

I guess I am a bit of a chaos bisexual but it’s in less of an Ilya Rozanov way and more of a “Beaker from the Muppets” way

Me to my wife: I love you very much My wife: Thank you. That’s nice. (This is *exactly* why I love her.)

Seriously, do not make a special appt with your prof at the end of the day on Friday and then not show up.

Using a TENS machine after I did something to my knee/quad on Wednesday night. Walking on a dimly lit campus in the fog after dark is, checks notes, not ideal when it’s the first time you’re out at night after losing more of your vision.

It didn't even occur to me until I read this thread, but this is exactly what you would do if you wanted to forcibly convert the world's reserve store of wealth from US dollars to crypto. Step 1: put your own money into crypto. Step 2: kill the stability of the USD.

TBH I think Tr*mp said Bored of Peace but his people misspelled it.

I know y’all loving this new Star Trek but these. Teens/young adults are driving me insane. As are the costumes and bare feet.

Had a question with our university unit that addresses student accessibility accommodations. Explained that I’ve got a visual impairment and had a question if W accommodation language meant X, Y, Z to be fulfilled because that’s what it meant two years ago when I asked….

Residential school deniers will be speaking outside the Indigenous Residential School History and Dialogue Centre at UBC tomorrow. As Angela says about this cruel event: “This is not academic disagreement. It is an act of denial that causes real harm to Survivors, their families, and communities.”

Also the thing thst frustrates me, when people don’t respond to emails or do their tasks that are their job and then I have to remind them because my work is contingent on theirs is happening on multiple fronts.

I have managed to do something to my right quad and the level of pain is not what I prefer. Zero. I prefer zero.

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

ted cruz leaving is our most credible severe weather alert

Let's face facts, Vancouver: you weren't going to get a carbon monoxide detector or make an earthquake kit any time soon. But you can do this much. Talk to your loved ones. Have a plan in place.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Did they not give him enough sedative and he’s sundowned and gotten violent on the plane?

Is the minor electrical issue in his brain?
