I'm watching #PSYCH for the 4th or 5th time & I think I just caught a #STARTREK reference for the 1st time.
A character in s1e13 is named Deanna Sirtis. Is this a nod to TNG's Deanna Troi played by Marina Sirtis?
What other Trek references have I miss or forgotten?

Some of us do suck. But there are still white people alive who were really pissed about sharing water fountains. So as long as they are still alive, plus those boomers who are why the phrase "ok boomer" exists, Gen X is not the worst.

Sounds like driving in NJ.
With all our jughandles, traffic circles & very old roads many built on Native American walking paths to get around swamps & bogs, we sometimes need to start trips in the opposite direction of where we really want to go.

Happy Birthday “Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen”!

As narrated by Q?

My nation needs to be dissolved. A council of the marginalized & systemically abused (eg, Indigenous & Black people, disability activists) should be assembled to determine what happens after.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

I honestly wish there was a way to mute images that don't have alt text. How are you a journalist and not using alt text. It's absurd.

I'll be 50 in a week. Some moments I feel ok. Other momements I'm reminded that my favorite songs from my youth are 30-40 years old. Or, worse, something enjoyable from my adult years is 15-25 years old.

I miss those!

One of the dumbest AI/education takes is “if AI can complete your assignments then they were probably bad assignments in the first place.” Assignments are designed to help students achieve learning objectives and to measure their progress. AI is literally designed to do things humans can do.

It is especially galling when the substack is from someone ostensibly left of center who is writing about the fascist government.

This conversation is definitely worth your time.

You can watch it here on YouTube or find it wherever you get your podcasts in the Boom! Lawyered podcast feed.

I don't know what I miss more:
Watching Peep Show, or watching Peep Show with my friends.

In 2005, the data didn’t match the headlines.

Most missing people weren’t white women—many were men & people of color.

@joshmankiewicz.bsky.social reported on that gap, including the case of Tamika Huston, a Black woman whose family couldn't get a return phone call.

New B*tch, Listen. Tomorrow.

Rodney Tayor and other disabled folks in custody keep me up at night. This story broke me.

What happens when reporting on the murder of a disabled person starts humanizing the killer instead of the victim?

I asked Dateline’s @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social. His answer was blunt: If you’re explaining it away, you’ve already made a mistake.

Being more specific (e.g. writing my full name, adding a year for the paper, etc) can coax out a correct answer (only because it searches the web & summarizes the results.)

But it's super haphazard and makes me think of this wonderful paper from 1982 (old school!) that @olivia.science posted about

A screenshot of prompting chatgpt with "how many new clusters were detected by hunt and reffert". It invents a first author for a paper that doesn't exist and returns a wrong answer (five) instead of ~2300.

I'm starting to find that papers mis-cite my own papers in really, really perplexing ways. It's quite obvious why if you just go to that one hyped up tool and ask it about your own work...

ChatGPT got my supervisor's name right but changed me to be a "William" (lol) and gave the wrong number

When Racism Stops Carrying Consequences Opinion: Trump’s attacks on the Obamas reveal what happens when open bigotry no longer disqualifies a president—and how that shift could endanger civil-rights protections.

Trump posted a racist video depicting the Obamas as apes. My piece isn’t about the insult. It’s about what followed: minimal objection, mostly silence, no consequence.

I argue that when racism carries no political cost, enforcement of anti-discrimination laws will bend toward whoever holds power.

I'd like to live in a world in which the feelings of Black people matter.
This isn't only about one specific issue because Black people's feelings are dismissed so often.
But it is also not not about a specific thing.
I've seen the pain in the eyes of too many Black people. Y'all deserve better.

I'm going to be 50 in about 10 days. Some moments I feel ok about it. In other moments I realize stuff like this.

U.S. men's hockey with Curt-Schilling-in-Boston levels of good will squandering. A 25-mile lead in the good will marathon and they tripped on their dicks right at the finish line.

This is true even among many not powerful men.
