Please clap I rescued the severely wilted kale from my refrigerator just in time to add it to breakfast congee this morning

Screenshot from linked article: Learning is done best in community. The most important function of educational institutions is providing spaces for building that community. Every time we suggest a student would be well served by “asking a chatbot,” we are cutting off an opportunity for that student to engage with their classmates, instructors, or librarians. Those interactions, however small, are what constitute communities of learners.

Yes! This also comes up in my recent contribution to CHE:

This irritates me too bc in Austin TX developers DID build enough housing that housing/rent prices started going down -- and now bc of that they don't want to build there anymore. So the problem will reassert itself eventually. The answer is public housing!!!

Ugh for real!! Not surprised by that at that location

Was that the one by me?

Can you dm me your email?

I have a nebula account I never use, it expires sometime next year, but if you want I can give you that login until it does

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

When I sent this pic of my haircut to my lesbian team lead she sent back the gif from community of Chang yelling GAAAAAY and that's gender affirming care for me

Really interesting results showing that even if they controlled for what info you encountered, the *friction* of seeking out and reading thru info for what you’re looking for enhances learning.

Yeah I honestly think one of the biggest problems with LLMs is that, unlike a list of search results, they assert "this is the answer, you can stop looking." And despite being constantly warned to ignore that part, I think it affects how people view the information.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

What's extremely funny is not wanting to read the article and trying to glean insight purely from comments is perfectly in line with someone who thinks chatgpt is the best way to find information.

My hair grows very fast so if I hate it I only have to deal with clipping and braiding it back for 8 months or so

getting bangs tomorrow for the first time since I was 15!!

(I've had pixies that grew out and had side swoop bangs but it's not the same)

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I'd recommend seeing a physical therapist, if you have access. I just had an MRI yesterday that diagnosed a hip labral tear after years of pain and have now found out like half of adults over 40 have one. Hip pain could be one of a million things so getting personalized care is key.

💕 thank you 🙂

it's a hate crime against me personally that the corner shop never has ben & jerry's tonight dough in stock so i have to settle for a lesser pint

many emotions here this evening -- i biked to and from an MRI appointment and passed 700 total miles of biking this year and i also found out there's something wrong with my hip that is probably being exacerbated by biking.

Idk what exactly constitutes "tool use" but a wolf pulling a crab trap out of water to get the crab is less complicated than most of the puzzle toys my cats can solve

Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

I pay an accountant to do my taxes which I can afford to do but I used to rely on TurboTax and it's good to know there are alternatives bc fuck them

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists

Historic land return: Catholic sisters transfer Marywood property to Lac du Flambeau Tribe The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration (FSPA), based in La Crosse, have transferred their Marywood Franciscan Spirituality Center property on Trout Lake back to the Lac du Flambeau Band of

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

Urbanism—the notion that cities are good, that we should build housing in the dense walkable neighborhoods where people want to live, and that urban governance should prioritize city residents’ quality of life over suburban drivers’ convenience—remains a radical political program in America.
