i saw someone lamenting that turning off ai in gmail makes your inbox unusable-- the good news is you can still set up your own filters to do a lot of the same work, and maybe even better support.google.com/mail/answer/...

This moment brought to me by America's Test Kitchen, who just told me I still have time to get groceries, and I genuinely thought someone in marketing must have fucked up.

It is time for my annual "when the hell is American Thanksgiving actually" confusion, because I could have sworn based off a million emails over the last weeks that today *finally* had to be Black Friday.

You can't win against a phallus tree.

I do admire a consistent position on IP!
Who owns these rights? Literally impossible to know, oh well!

The UN climate change conference (COP30) having rooms shut down both to flooding and an extreme fire is a bit metaphorically excessive.

Nestled in the bad news about the New School, an important point. We aren't seeing the decimation of the actually publicly funded university systems, just the partially (like in Canada) or fully privatized ones....

I even tried Browse, but they don't have a facet for Research Article: Political Science. 😭😭😭😭

WELCOME TO THE LABYRINTH

Sounds fascinating, can't find it for the life of me on PNAS. This is like someone made an AI trapping labyrinth, but it is for me.

I spoke with Nora Loreto and Alex Khasnabish about the state of labour organizing in Canada's universities. What will the university become in this moment of crisis? Will it regress and implode, or move forward and serve a larger social purpose?

Tonight is all green so far!

Instagram is largely unusable now, but I did check in last night for all the northern lights pics... (So much pink!)

TECHNICALLY IT IS DUE MONDAY

I have legitimately just consulted this to see if I am fully Reviewer 2 (or only 1.5).

I really have to stop packing such crunchy lunches for the days I have lunch Zoom meetings.

It sounds like in response to the ridiculous request from the Committee, the Tri Agency submitted data to the SRSR that is in line with the Privacy Act - the already publicly available information about grant recipients, projects, and amounts, as well as *aggregated* EDI information.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Canada Budget 2025: more on AI than childcare, big public service cuts, also... Eurovision.
I think this may be the only time I want something from the real Budget to appear in CCPA's Alternative Budget!

What a day to be teaching classes on Gramsci’s notion of political hegemony. Optimism of the will!! 👊🏻

There are truly so many losses to celebrate tonight!

I know there are bigger things afoot in Politics, and that moving from a Con to a Lib is in most ways barely a move, but I'm a messy binch who loves a good floor crossing.

Though it will never be done as well as the Belinda Stronach move. I'm cackling to myself just remembering it.

This was probably the most personally revealing information I have ever posted on the internet. 😅

I use the stick on hooks for various non towel things, but if they are strong enough to hold anything they ruin the paint regardless, so may as well just drill holes unless you really can't!

They fall off roughly every two weeks, even with "just" hair towels/ a small towel, I think they would fall off instantly with a bath sheet.

We use the IKEA Krokfjorden suction hooks for small towels because the most logical place to hang them is a literal door to outside because the 80s were bonkers and I haven't really wanted to drill holes in it or the tile.
