I barely know my phone number now. For the first six months of grad school I gave my classmates the wrong number and couldn’t figure out why no one invited me anywhere.

An observation on how #AI is shaping student work: almost none of my students this year included page numbers when citing books or articles in their final essays. Despite repeated reminders, page numbers seem to be disappearing. A troubling shift in how students now engage with reading materials.

This is a good article and I would like to add that Teflon sucks and you have to replace your pan regularly making them an expensive option in the long run.

It used to be a test market so we got all sorts of weird things like strawberry Pepsi and maybe a blue one. Oh, and McDonalds had the arch deluxe.

Yes, why don’t white people from countries with low income disparity, great public transport, and healthcare want to move to the US?

In India a French colleague of mine came back to the housing with a huge bag of lemons someone had given her. She asked what to do with them. I suggested lemonade and she loved the idea. ❤️
I guess this is not a phrase in French?

Knitting. I worked so hard to learn how to do it and then broke my wrist and I can’t do it anymore without pain.

My US license expires next year and I either have to fly home or get an HK one. I rarely use it but I do feel like I need it.

Worst part of the festival was trying to get a taxi at the end where all the Ubers showed up and chaos took over. If we’d all just lined up everyone would have gotten home faster.

If California were serious about combatting its fascism it'd be doing drug raids in Silicon Valley.

It was fantastic. A lot of good stuff, a lot of not for me. And the food and beers aren’t outrageous!
