Carla Hayden deserved better.

If you haven’t already pre-ordered your copy of THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT, we’re working on copy edits and the table of contents ALONE will have you shooketh. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

i’m 43 today, so i got the standard birthday order of demon waffles

Party of 'family values' doesn't care at all about families www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If RFK Jr. has a million haters, I'm one of them. If RFK Jr. has 1 hater, it's me. If RFK Jr. has 0 haters, I am dead of an easily preventable infectious disease.

I was asked yesterday, by a class of future educators, what my advice was to deal with the burnout from constant attacks and challenges anyone working in education faces. It's a complicated issue, obviously, but here is what I said I would tell anyone graduating from college right now:

As always, AI isn't "hallucinating" this answer. It's cribbing it, probably from the snarky top comment to this post on Reddit, and it does not understand the words it cribs.

Someone in one of my discords today commented that “ChatGPT” sounds like “cat, I farted” in French. I am now proposing we call generative AI systems “The Cat Farts machine”. It’s harder to make an argument that a cat farts machine is an important addition to our daily lives.

happy may day here is a painting I did a long time ago

Writing the training document for my successor and I fear my supervisor will take out all my sarcastic footnotes and links to poems.

The worm that ate my brain is neurotypical.

Piña coladas count as a breakfast smoothie.

Any baptized Catholic male can become Pope so technically speaking the next Pope could be Joe Biden.

Read another book.

Apparently it’s National Librarian Day, everybody say thank you to a librarian (preferably me) today.

I feel this so very much and also simultaneously feel like one way we're going to get through all of this is to have artists and writers and musicians chucking in to create space for others to experience joy and rest for a moment before going out to fight again in the world. Creation is resistance.

Dana deserves child support payments from the hospital for all the mothering she had to do of Langdon and Robby during that finale #thepitt #HBO

I love The Pitt. Is it a perfect show? Absolutely not. But it is so so good. Also god bless whoever decided to make this season a regular length instead of like, 8 episodes. #hbo

Thinking about my digital footprint, like when someone finds my Pinterest and discovers that I am a huge Gelphie shipper.

I think I should not work today and watch Wicked instead.

Talking to my work bestie and she was like, “Did the police come to your school when you were a kid and fingerprint everyone?” and I was like, did the police do what now.

COVID didn't "turn out fine." Over 1 million people died in just the US. People are still dying. 100s of thousands of people are still dealing with the effects of Long COVID. And the entire country lost its shit and is still unwell. Tariffs will not "turn out fine." Effects will be experienced.

Anyone who is like “Why would Lochlan use a dirty blender??” has never lived with a teenage boy before. Dirty dishes are not even a concept in their mind. #whitelotus

So OpenAI is actively marketing ChatGPT to students during college finals season in the U.S. We've talked many (many) times before about the kinds of harm that can come from giving over too much epistemic and heuristic authority over to these systems, but additionally, there's been at least three…

Not a single person saying this is going to work one of these jobs, nor have they likely ever worked these jobs in the past. But also, what made these jobs bearable was they were well-paying union jobs where you traded monotony, physical toil for a good middle-class life. They aren’t offering that.

I must not be the first person to bring this up But there has never been a more vindicated guy

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats cannot stop him from destroying my livelihood with his trade wars, I will have no choice but to vote for him when he seeks a third term in defiance of the Constitution.

in addition to birth stones each month should have a birth cheese

So Gladiator II, Lucius has major vibes with the doctor, right? Or does Paul Mescal just have chemistry with every person he’s on screen with?
