Really excited to be presenting in my university's teaching symposium in a few weeks about developing techno-skeptical/CAIL pedagogy with my colleague from the College of Education, Nate Turcotte! Viva la (AI) resistance.

I recently learned Bovino is 5’2 (my height), and I would like to ask him if he joined ICE because he also struggles to find pants that fit and has to stand on his tippy toes when grabbing things off high shelves. Because dude, there are other ways to cope.

I got chills. This is beautiful.

“I’m 70 years old and I’m fucking angry!” “You just shot someone and you’re terrorizing us? Fuck you!” [disappears into tear gas] @ms.now

ICE executed another person today in MLP while multiple agents were wrestling them to the ground. *They emptied an entire clip.* I can’t repost the video. I wish I had not seen it. Fuck both parties for funding this. Fuck the Democratic Party for being ineffectual at best and entirely complicit.

If, like me, you're finding that your rubrics in Canvas Speedgrader are way too large and cumbersome now and that it's interfering with your grading, kindly let Canvas know. 🗑️🔥

I'll be presenting at the College English Association conference on March 27th, and my panel looks like it's going to be really interesting. Looking forward to it! #CEA2026 #criticalAI #comprhet #writingstudies

A lot of really good takes in this thread from @jsanofranchini.bsky.social . I’ve been asked to comment on and complete two uni surveys about “AI” recently that didn’t even bother to clearly define what kind of AI they were asking about.

holy shit

This gave me a much needed laugh today. Bless the millennial who made it.

The new Star Trek Academy series is kind of like Hogwarts in space, but I’m not hating it.

This is a hefty claim for a scented candle.

For all those involved in drafting so-called AI guidelines, but being overwhelmed with nonsense, this is a lifesaver. Great work by Dagmar and Ariel! Resisting Enchantment and Determinism: How to critically engage with AI university guidelines. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

I somehow injured my SI joint a few weeks ago, and man, the pain is getting old. I’m doing the exercises I was prescribed, but they’re not really helping. Does anyone else have experience with this kind of injury, and if so, what worked?

Of course Stephen Miller thinks new Star Trek (and not all Star Trek) is woke.

Now eat a data center!

If we look past all the hype, AI primarily offers a way to exercise power through opaque mechanisms beyond the realm of accountability.

The videos I’m seeing out of Minnesota tonight are terrifying. But it’s also inspiring to see how Minnesotans are coming together to protect their neighbors.

Thanks to whoever here on Bsky recommended Qoboz. The CarPlay app needs a little work, and it doesn’t seem to have podcasts yet, but otherwise, it’s a fine substitute for Spotify.

I thought I turned off all the AI in gmail but you have to disable it in TWO places. Go into Workplace smart feature settings to undo it. SO ANNOYING that I invited this into my life by signing up for gmail in 2008. sorry I didn't want to use hotmail anymore I guess www.huffpost.com/entry/opt-ou...

Offer my input on how the plagiarism and cognitive offloading machine is being used at my university? Don't mind if I do!

More tech in place of actual community. Cool cool cool cool cool. (Also, what happens if you don’t have an emergency contact?)

Ok but has any library patron even requested an AI book? Is there even one that’s… readable? Like even close? One that people have heard of? What a baffling hill to die on 🙄

It’s an obligatory part of the Southwest Florida cafe experience: if you go to one to work, you will have to overhear people having earnest conversations about their relationship with God and/or Jesus.

Good’s last words to the ICE agent: “That’s fine. I’m not mad at you.” His to her, after shooting her in the face: “Fuckin’ bitch.”

From a named Chair of Philosophy at Texas A&M following the censoring of his modules on Plato. I love Dr. Peterson. This is the way.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

Chatgpt! Is! Not! Confidential! Do! Not! Do! This! For! Fuck's! Sake!

Renee Nicole Good, 37, mother of a 6 year old, was murdered by a federal agent today. Murdered and then blamed for her murder. DHS agents are now a proven extrajudicial force that will kill you, for no reason at all, just because they can. If there was ever a moment, it is now.

It’s day 7 of waiting on maintenance to fix the beeping smoke detector I’m too short to reach. It’s been waking me in the middle of the night daily. At this point, I’m not resetting it; maybe if it pisses off all my neighbors, they’ll complain and it’ll get fixed.

This is murder. A straight up murder.

"We're not pressuring you to integrate AI into your courses. We're just inviting you to play with it!" This is an intentional rhetorical move designed to obscure the very real harms of LLMs. You're not consuming water or exploiting workers and artists; you're just playing!

They’re so all-in on “AI” that they’re anchoring their whole brand to it. I hope the whole company goes underwater. #microslop

A scepter snatch’d with an unruly hand Must be as boisterously maintain’d as gain’d; And he that stands upon a slipp’ry place Makes nice of no vild hold to stay him up

Dude, you’re not even running this country.

I feel like all I do is complain about deteriorating tech lately, but I'm constantly encountering applications that used to work just fine but are now almost unusable because of added "AI" or profit-motivated enshittification. Those of you who teach online: how are you adapting or coping?

In 1970, the Oregon Highway Division attempted to dispose of a whale carcass by blowing it up, and as one might expect, it sent whale guts flying. At least one new car was totaled by a massive chunk, but at least the owner was reimbursed. 2025, I dedicate this exploding whale to you. #WyrdWednesday

Happy 30th, Flossie!! This sweet baby has had two prior owners pass away, btw. I’m so glad she’s being well cared for. 🥹

I know furniture salespeople work on commission, and it’s got to be rough in this economy, but jesus, some of them behave like predators. “Let me tell you what you’re looking for.” Immediately no, sir.

I just spent the last week totally immersed in Revenge of the Savage Planet. It's space exploration meets shoot-em-up while delivering hilarious satire and critique of late stage capitalism. Highly recommend! #gamingsky #indiegaming #xbox

Does anyone know of a good alternative to Kaltura that supports embedded quizzes in videos and works well in Canvas? #edtech

Happy holidays to all!

This did not stop me from wasting two bucks like a silly goose. Sometimes, you just need a little foolish hope.

Hi.

The most brutal way of telling someone they’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic that I’ve heard in French is t’es pas la truite la plus oxygénée de la rivière. It means “you’re not the most oxygenated trout in the river.” * read on for similar insults from around the world (a thread)…
