Did not expect to find Baucis and Philemon on a hike in the Fingerlakes!

It’s amazing how hockey players do all kinds of very dangerous shit and the announcers will be like “well that hit caught him at a bad moment but it was a clean hit” but one player intentionally hits another in the balls with a stick and they’re all “THAT SHOULD BE AT LEAST 5 MINS AND MAYBE A GAME”

"This is what it looks like when workers hold the line – it sends a message to every media company in the country that AI cannot be used to circumvent union contracts or undermine journalistic integrity." Academics please take note!

I’m hoping this game wakes Colorado up. The EN goal should have never happened, but it was a microcosm of how lax they were all night.

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you’ve seen live: 1. Mastodon (x4) 2. Baroness (x4) 3. Fit for an Autopsy (x3) 4. Russian Circles (x2) 5. Gojira 6. Wintersun 7. Ne Obliviscaris 8. Meshuggah 9. Dethklok 10. Baby Metal

This is lovely, and why I own approximately 10 million merch items from Minocqua Brewing, lol. Kudos to everyone who stepped up. And no, you shouldn't have to, but it counts that you did. pridesource.com/article/mino...

I am going to add to all my public-facing profiles some language that all feedback I provide will be mine and I will not use AI to read or respond to other people’s work. Apparently we need to say that now.

Grading systems are a not-inevitable hierarchy institutions enthusiastically opt into to serve those at the top.

Guyz—plz plz watch this man’s response to Cory Booker’s fucking garbage ass nonsense. I’ve said for months that Kennedy and MAHA are really what actually won the election for trump and that would need to be fucking addressed by Ds. And instead of addressing it- Booker is jumping right in w them.

Anyway "harvard" is not "higher ed" and everyone should read @josheyler.bsky.social's book.

We need to permanently bar from our profession anyone who outsources peer review to AI

Cornell AAUP, along with other Cornell community organizations, has issued a statement concerning the recent incident involving President Kotlikoff hitting a student and an alum with his car and the subsequent Board of Trustees investigation exonerating the President and condemning the students.

Getting rid of time changes is probably good, but permanent DST is probably not. We may WANT extra daylight in the evening hours, but the research suggests that we NEED daylight in the mornings for healthy sleep. https://www.colorado.edu/today/2022/03/28/why-permanent-daylight-saving-time-bad-idea

Yes, sit, stay, down, off, paw, high five, chin, spin, twist, hop it up, step up, handstand, with me, leave it, get it, crate, mat, go to your bed, slow, peekaboo, weave, go through, stick it, close it, that’ll do, come, treat, search, touch.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Congrats to Penn State faculty on unionizing.

I would like to vote for him.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

We live in a society that treats vulnerability, weakness, and need as moral evils instead of the fundamental reality of our shared existence, and the result is that we lost our minds when our fragility and interdependence was thrust in our faces.

I will never understand NHL announcers acting like Finnish names are so hard. You literally just pronounce all the letters!

“Backfiring badly” seems like an overstatement given the data, but still an interesting read.

Trans rights are human rights and this administration is an abomination of hate and greed.

If some Nazis walk into your favorite bar, you chase them the fuck out. If a Nazi buys your favorite bar and brings all his Nazi friends with him, you find another bar.

The more I read about the science of learning, the more frustrated I am that my training to teach at the college level never involved the tiniest hint of cognitive science. There’s a whole field that studies how human brains work and learn—that’s really useful knowledge for teaching!

Slightly increase a band Firm Bizkit

Lotta people in tech underestimate how much we hate you and your works and everything you do

Every time I hear the announcers say the name “Brock Faber,” I immediately think “scissors.”

Is this anything?

This guy just jumped on the couch, yelled at me, then stomped on the remote and turned the hockey game off. He’s not a fan of the playoffs, it seems.

The ability of the Flyers to drag other teams into the pit with them is almost impressive.

Times have been worse than they are today in the U.S. Important to remember not because some people aren't living under terrible conditions right now but because it shows that things can in fact change for the better. They change if we change them.

Sometimes you get what you want.

That is probably the craziest result in a playoff game I’ve ever seen. Love it.

Honestly I’d probably use a reading lab like this myself!

I'm no university administrator, but "drove a car into a group of students peacefully trying to talk to him, then falsely claimed the students had blocked him in and were pounding on the car when they hadn't and weren't" feels like part of the sort of sentence that also includes "fired with cause"

As someone who suffered heartbreak in last night’s Pens-Flyers game, this Habs-Bolts game is triggering me. (No, I won’t stop watching.)

Great credit is due to the Bard College community of undergraduate anti-rape activists—organizing as “Take Back Bard”—who insisted on Bostein’s resignation even in the face of widespread indifference from the faculty and sneering mockery of their efforts in the New York Times. I admire them.

Sigh. I’m down to 1 team in the playoffs.

I’d forgotten what it’s like to have a heart attack watching a Pens game. Feels good.

This has always been something that infuriates me. I have never checked the chromosomes of anyone. The percentage of people I know whose genitalia I have inspected doesn't even rise to 0.1%. We all, *all the time*, accept people's gender based on self-ID. That's the only way the concept can function

The funniest thing about people who say that chromosomes are determinative of sex and gender is that 99.9% of them have no idea what their own chromosomes actually are and if they had them tested, a good number of them would suddenly have a problem. 🤷🫠

What madness gripped me a week ago when, realizing my mother’s birthday was coming up and that I should make her something, I had the cursed thought, “I should learn to knit lace!”

He insists on being on my lap when I knit. The price is having to wear my works in progress.

So apparently grabbing a guy by the head, slamming him into a stanchion, then slamming him by the neck into the ice is just a double minor. Cool.

The pace of this Stars-Wild game is great.

I told my students once, “Folks, I’m not doing this to torture you. For every 4-page paper I assign you to write, I write about 20 pages in feedback. I assign these because I really think it will help you learn.” Don’t know if it helped, but I’ll never forget the shock on their faces.

I think the Pens have overall looked much better this game than last game, but the way they gave into frustration on that PP is just disgraceful. NO urgency to get the puck back.

It’s hard to explain the happiness I get watching this little dude snoozing next to me.
