I feel this. [The California Aggie, May 21, 1986]

The college at which I'm employed, which has signed a contract with the AI firm that stole books from 131 colleagues & me, paid a student to write an op-ed for the student paper promoting AI, guided the writing of it, and did not disclose this to the paper. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

It’s been seven years since my friends and I sent a Vin Scully bobblehead into near space with a weather balloon.

My dog has back issues, so I clicked on this @nytimes.com story immediately But that last paragraph, oh, man

I've been saying to anyone who will listen that we need to go back to Theweleit's "Männerphantasien" to understand the current moment

Independent journalism is absolutely a form of resistance, thanks to the important work of @marisakabas.bsky.social @autonomynews.co @404media.co @assignedmedia.org @boltsmag.org. My latest in @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

From an email to one of our faculty members.... Not even Plato can escape censorship at Texas A&M!

Good thing about being a journalist is there‘s always more weird shit to look up and throw the algorithm off

This👇🏼 Every damn day.

Proud of this collab between @laist.com and the USC Open-Source Intelligence Reporting Lab

What were they supposed to do? There just aren't many photos of Los Angeles sunsets out there

There is a certain kind of person who takes pride in not being good with tech, as if that makes them better at other things, when it's also possible they just suck at a lot of things

Seems like there's at least one student every semester www.youtube.com/shorts/iAUh7...

Me at McDonald's: I would like a Big Mac. McDonald's: That'll be $5.75 Me: *sigh* paywalled

It’s wild that earlier this year Trump said kids only get two dolls now and they’ll cost more and nobody else seems to remember it or think it should he part of this affordability stuff.

All hail @tessastuart.bsky.social for writing this magazine story, and I don't use that phrase lightly. Not longform. Not a feature. A magnificent magazine story.

this is a stunning piece of data journalism/art/whatever.

USC is hosting a conference on the Philosophy of Breakups. Seems like a missed opportunity to not incorporate the Fight On slogan somehow. philevents.org/event/show/1...

LA needs to buy Memo Torres at @lataco.bsky.social all the beers. That man is TIRELESS. 🫡

Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

This game. This series. This game.

This one actually got me to donate to @wikipedia.org again

The crazy thing about the “Kavanaugh stops” decision is he didn’t have to attach his name to it at all. Nobody else in the majority wrote anything. Nobody had to write anything. But he was all like, “Hold my beer.”

MFA programs really killed the style of writing that basically went “Let me tell you my theory of friendship. [10,000 words that include references to Plato, Charlemagne and Ulysses S Grant] Paul was that kind of friend.” Now it’s all “Paul handed me a beer. He knew I needed it.”

The dedication to visually representing each of the 4,304 deliveries in the background scroll is admirable and conveys the loss to food banks. The personal interviews and portraits are concise but powerfully relate these cuts’ impact on peoples' lives. Everyone’s’ “must read” today.

Heck yeah

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

Every future imagined by a tech company is worse than the previous iteration.

Learning how to write 50-word versions of these when I was a stringer was worth the same as my masters degree
