In high school I bought a WWII era uniform jacket like this, in green,
from a consignment shop. Wool w tarnished buttons. As she rung up the purchase, the salesperson was expressed surprise re how cheap it was, briefly questioned the price and then went, โ€ah well, you got a good deal.โ€

I find it hard to believe that she wrote four whole pages, let alone that theyโ€™re โ€˜worth readingโ€˜ according to Massieโ€ฆ

unusual to show the beginning of a lecture in a film/tv show, esp just a few linesโ€ฆ unless the topic is the panopticon and she boils it down to peer surveillance/policing because of course weโ€™re going to subtly hint at woke woke woke metoo and everybodyโ€™s afraid to offend anyone

Like I know tenure is an esoteric, sketchy process, especially at these private elite institutions but โ€ฆ why make up shit for the sake of drama (when the drama is there in the real process, if youโ€™d only be bothered to ask)

yeah I can already see itโ€™s gonna be trash on a couple of levels re how sexual harassment is described + addressed. then im supposed to believe that Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield started on the tenure track at the same time - or have the same tenure clock -

Conferencing is exhaustingโ€”even when I only participate in a single roundtable (today), have a couple of conversations, and meander back to my hotel

Again, I donโ€™t want to get too personal but the most tepidly political, structurally vulnerable people in my life were protesting ICE all week. The juxtaposition here is just wild.

Study after study shows that using LLMs is bad for cognition, bad for learning, bad for understanding, bad for mental health. So why are our schools and universities still relentlessly pushing them?

Trump's National Guard deployments have cost over $473 MILLION.

A disgusting misuse of federal resources, taxpayer dollars, and US troopsโ€™ service.

Doing this while firing federal workers and kicking millions off of healthcare is just the cherry on top of the dumpster fire that is the Trump admin.

I really hate โ€patient zeroโ€ as an idea, i.e., when people use it authoritatively, and to allocate blame. โ€œhereโ€™s the person who started it allโ€ฆโ€

Thereโ€™s earlier mention, I think (But still later than it would need to be). In other words, by the time it gets to NPRโ€ฆ
