My statement on Ai from the mini-comic as syllabus i made for new class I'm teaching that starts tomorrow! It robs you of your decisions & struggles - and the joy of being surprised. We won’t to be robbed of our learning - this is essential. This & the full mini at post: bsky.app/profile/nsou...

More autumnal this week (left) than last week (right).

Giving students thoughtful, personalized feedback and instruction is not a problem that originates from the difficulty for an instructor to generate feedback, it is a problem that originates from institutions pivoting to student:instructor ratios where that dynamic is not logistically feasible.

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

IKEA tariffs? What a skitstövel.

In 2020, Canada Post letter carriers literally carried the economy on their backs to deliver parcels and goods to Canadians who were staying home during the pandemic. I do not believe this is appropriate Thanks for their service.

Listen to the contrarians. There are very strong reasons to not go along with the herd on these popular AI tools.

kid: (runs into mom's room) mommy! mommy! mom: is there a monster under your bed? kid: worse! it's a moral relativist! there's no telling what he might be capable of! mom: oh god, just block him & move on

Just signing the contract for the new novel. If someone really fucken famous would like to provide a cover quote I'd be seriously grateful

Doug Ford like to talk tough on crime, except when it comes to lawbreaking motorists who illegally increase the risk of your kid being killed by a car.

Terrible idea from a terrible premier! Speed cameras are among the best ways to make roads safer, especially around schools. Time for the people, organizations, health care providers & politicians who want safer streets to step up and vocalize their opposition to this www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Ah, the Ferengi School of Gender Research strikes again

The most sensationalist and smarmy thing I can say*** about my evidence-based book is that it is ostentatiously justicey enough that it might get banned somewhere. 🤣🙃 Preorder now. ***Yesterday was a book blitz for me online but I’m done for quite a while now, I promise. p.s. Sharing is caring 🙏

The BBC

Make no mistake, linking tylenol (paracetamol) to autism is simply an attempt to suggest that neurodivergence is not a 'natural' part of life (which it is), but instead to 'other' the condition and attempt to shift the 'blame' for it onto mothers.

I took these photos of the fall colours in the alpine boreal forest of Québec two days ago, along the highway from the city to where I live. My favourite colour is the deep scarlet, resulting from green chlorophyll not being made anymore & red anthocyanins are made from sugars trapped in the leaves.

I am QT dunking but I think this is a case where it is warranted: Science is political and "not wanting to see politics" as a scientist is a political choice. You may decide it's what works for you, but you need to decide how that fits with the fact your (diverse) colleagues still exist 🧪

“Paracetamol is the first choice of painkiller if you're pregnant. It's commonly taken during pregnancy and does not harm your baby.” These are the official medical guidelines from the UK’s NHS for taking paracetamol/Tylenol during pregnancy. #DemVoice1 #DV1 www.nhs.uk/medicines/pa...

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

Today is a good day to send copies of NeuroTribes to the White House.

Hey. Just wanted to remind my fellow autistics, spectrum dwellers, ADHD, OCD havers and anyone that's a little neurospiced that I love you and us. We aren't a mistake or a problem to be fixed. We are a beautiful tapestry. Society and its bigots are the problem in need of a solution. Not us. 💙

Getting as many admin and other higher ed folks to read this and implement some of its suggestions as possible is a vital step: bsky.app/profile/oliv... Re: students, I think zero-tolerance policies are the way to go, like any other cheating. Sucks enforcing without admin support though.

My favourite hiking boots! I am incon-sole-able.

Me and Brightspace technical support...

Just say it's bad. You don't have to accept their premise. The only reason to accept their premise is if you agree with its aim.

Once more: the best evidence shows that Tylenol taken during pregnancy is not harmful. **This question is settled.** The benefit of reducing discomfort and fever is extremely important at a time when the fetus is developing.

The answer is going to be "42", isn't it?
