Wildfire smoke thickening in Baltimore, folks, wear a n95 mask/respirator if you have to spend time outside

I guess American Girl Doll shoes were a bust 😔. Still admire you for following your dreams!!

They've also released a Brawler class that would be a nice multi class for him!

Yep. I think the wording is vague & will be seeking clarification, but the status quo for Canvas's in-house AI features was that they had to be turned on/off by systems administrator, not instructors. So, depending on your institution, this may be a vector for faculty organizing, like, now.

JUSTICE FOR WOUBBLE.

I'm glad Tom Lehrer got to spend over a year in a world without Henry Kissinger

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Tom Lehrer made all of his music 100% public domain so if seeing people sad about his death makes you want to check them out… it’s free. he wanted you to share them.

Wow. End of an era. Fair sailing, Brennan!

It is the year of fire,
the year of destruction,
the year we take back what is ours.
It is the year of rebirth,
the year of great sadness,
the year of pain,
& the year of joy.
It is a new age.
It is the end of history.
It is the year everything changed.
The year is 2025
& THERE’S STILL THIS FUCKERY?

My wife just told me that I have infiltrated her brain: she had a dream where she had a work emergency that could only be solved through a DnD one shot called “The Green Candle.” No clue where that name came from.

The path is very clear: Republicans are creating a system to allow anybody—you, me, whoever—to have their citizenship revoked, sent to a prison camp in the Everglades, then exported to a labor camp in a third-world country. That entire pipeline could be in place in 24 hours.

Well, as folks 'round here know I've been trying to think about where to put stuff in an easy-to-find, easy-to-manage, not $$$ (for me or readers) place, while keeping a small wall that lets me take some risks.

I thought I could punt this to Future Em, but it was a Big Week last week, so.

this technology that i cant even get my own employees to use without literally threatening them is definitely going to be profitable one day

Useful technology isn't something people are forced to use. This was one of the really interesting things I heard maybe a year ago from so many pundits. Things like "I'm trying to think of ways to use this so I become good at it." That's not how productivity tools are supposed to work.

is this really the world you want your children to live in, and your children’s children,

I wrote my dissertation on remasters. This is a terrible idea.

A screenshot of a post previously from Greenpeace. It’s a photo of a blue fence with black writing on top. The writing says: ‘If you ever feel heavy because you care deeply about injustice, suffering and ecological destruction. Remember that’s trillion dollar propaganda machine was built to make you numb and it didn’t work on you. ‘

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago.

What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored.

Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

After seeing a panel of "Judgment Day" in the NMAAHC in DC, I wondered if the #StarTrek #DS9 episode "Far Beyond the Stars" was referencing it among other things.

"For all we know, at this very moment, somewhere far beyond all those distant stars, Benny Russell is dreaming of us."

Happy Juneteenth!
