insubordinate professor

If Kennedy’s larger point is that some political cultures are associated with an unfriendly attitude to knowledge that might be slightly more persuasive if he was not a MAGA anti-vax ideologue who is undermining the largest US research center (NIH) as part of a broader assault on higher education

probably time for someone to make the connection between Vivek's "familial child rape is good, actually" ads and all the domestic violence prevention funding that was cut when he was the co-leader of DOGE

i would like to apologize for gen x. i don't know what happened to us but i am deeply ashamed.

anybody else just like... tired

when we read (and hated) hillbilly elegy years ago, my ohio-born-and-raised husband closed the book and said, "this guy wants to be president." i thought he was nuts. shame on me!

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

this smacks of midterm panic

By now a good number of you have probably seen You Can See Everything. This was my full breakdown of it. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

If pocket calculators regularly and randomly gave you incorrect answers to your queries like ChatGPT does, we would have left the technology behind, not insisted that 2+2=5 is HERE TO STAY, BABY.

head of lettuce remains undefeated

what, pray tell, is that "danger"?

student: i don’t get this article. i even asked chat to summarize it for me & i still don’t understand. me: you asked a vending machine to help you with your homework! my sister in christ, you are in grad school. if you don’t understand it, ASK ME, the person who assigned it, to explain it better!

UN PLUG THE FUCKING MACHINE

Last night the President of the United States posted a video of a tiger attacking an unwell person (who was fatally mauled shortly afterward), then an AI video of himself befriending the tiger. Remember when Howard Dean yelled weird

since when did educated people start typing “I’s“ instead of “my” or “mine”? i feel like i’m insane. if i see “her and i’s project” one more time i’m going to walk into the gulf of bacteria.

can we not just unplug the things???

ffs, bradley airport, did chatGPT translate this???

kinda looks like "troy" when they keep unfreezing him to help suppress the other silos.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

Atlantic hurricanes starting with the letter 'I' share a long history of death and destruction.

i'm sort of uncomfortable with the way homelessness research traditionally refers to kids who get kicked out as "throwaways" (as opposed to "runaways," who choose to leave) but it really does capture the hideousness of the act of putting one's child on the street.

imagine typing the words "divorce" and "epidemic" in the same sentence and expecting to be taken seriously. those crazy kids wanting their parents to be kind to them, just like those silly ladies in the 70s wanting to leave abusive marriages! 🙄

oh fuck off, TCW what the heck happened to @theatlantic.com ???

what are we even doing? www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

undergrads? i give reading quizzes: 10-question google forms that i only grade holistically, i.e., i look over the trends and if mostly everyone gets mostly everything right, we can move on. if not, i address missing knowledge accordingly. students know this. mutual accountability seems to work.

marvin k. AI supporter, will you please go now!

gee, i wonder what it is about pediatricians that makes them easy/appealing targets for these fuckers (spoiler: there are more women in peds than any other speciality)

problem??? i love home. it’s 57° in my office and people can just walk in and bother me there. why would i not choose to work from my couch when possible?! also, i can get household chores done at the same time. but i’ve always been a homebody. 🤷🏼‍♀️

shocking news, just shocking (both that KL is joining fox and that the @nytimes.com didn’t bother to check their info before publishing)

i ran out of the theater. i was 7. never been a fan of heights.

Like we don’t have political disagreements, we have disagreements on the nature of reality 

YES! i lived in a 5000-person town outside of wilkes-barre, PA where we could walk to the supermarket, a non-chain pharmacy, and a convenience store/gas station. and a playground!

we live about a mile from The Store (and a delightful mexican restaurant), but in south louisiana it's too hot to walk there most of the year. 😩
