I am sad to report that I have unsubscribed from the text list of the orthodontist we didn’t use for our son’s braces 8 years ago and now will no longer receive their happy birthday message each year.

I'm now the parent of a college graduate. Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering (neuroengineering concentration, minor in psychology), with honors, summa cum laude. Working as a research assistant at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and applying to medical school. I feel like a slacker.

I will be attending college graduation today as a parent, not a professor. Trying to finish grading papers this morning.

I have just read a student paper that contained quotes and details from a novel and story that are not in the novel and story. The chatbot made up whatever it needed to support the point the paper was trying to make.

It is unsettling to be reading a student paper and recognize where it stopped being written by a human being and started being written by a bot.

These days, writing a novel with any element of satire means constantly deleting what you've just written because it's not nearly stupid enough.

Just signed a 5-year contract extension to teach at my university. Will have to see after that if there are still universities. #academicsky

I don't think of myself as a sci-fi writer so much as a satire/comedy writer, but writing weird and idiosyncratic novels made it much harder to find an agent and publisher. For some reason, they didn't want to read footnoted novels narrated by a coffee machine robot. scottsteinonline.com

My students submitted final papers last night for my "Strangers in Strange Lands" course. I hope they wrote them.

Another #FridayReads from the road! Let’s boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. I’m sharing the book that started its own genre: Zero Saints. Back and better than ever, baby! Let it slither into your soul… www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

Nice to see that my novel The Great American Deception has been bought or read by people who also bought or read books by writers I sort of know from Bluesky. @harkaway.bsky.social @premeemohamed.com @scalzi.com www.amazon.com/Great-Americ...

Eating a burrito, drinking a great beer, listening to '90s grunge, and reading everyone's posts about Trump-Musk feud. Not sure it gets better than this.

Laughing thinking about future history students writing dissertations about today @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

The whole Internet is one Trump-Musk exchange away from bursting into song.

The first day in years that I pity people who aren’t online all the time.
