IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

There is a Thai restaurant near me that has "curry puffs" on the menu. If you call ask for curry puffs, they say "sorry, no curry puffs today" as if they will be there tomorrow. The same answer for 25 years. It's now performance art. I think about this all the time.

As someone who has been in the higher ed game a long time now, I can tell you that there are times when it's hard to explain to students what we mean when we say things like "dialectics" and "overdetermination." But then there are other moments when everyone's just like ... oh yeah that makes sense.

I worry uni leaders will use post-2008 strategy of distributing cuts out to units equally b/c superficially it's "fair." But strategy assumes current distribution of resources is optimal, all units equally critical to core mission, & all units can survive a large % cut. Each assumption is suspect.

There are now daily outrages that would have been era-defining blunders in earlier moments. Remember the outrage of the Reagan's Bitburg speech? The Ramones wrote a whole protest song about it! Now, that's just another petty, stupid day.

The child in this trustee’s scenario? Faculty. Who submitted their tenure files for consideration in accordance with the terms of their employment. Both sides have a responsibility in that contract, one to submit and one to review. I hope everyone really hears this.

UNC-Chapel Hill hasn't granted tenure to any faculty outside Health Sciences all year. Faculty are in limbo. The BoT is simply refusing to consider the cases put forward. It's clear the board is testing the waters to see if they can get away with what is essentially a pocket veto on faculty tenure.

reminder that three democratic congress members, who should not have run for reelection last year because the actuarial odds were against them, have died of cancer this year — leaving vacant seats and giving the Rs the margin they needed for this god-awful calamity of a bill
