As literally no one else in today's meeting knew what I was talking about when I mentioned this, I share again:

What if someone made a song about what what American English sounds like to people who don't speak English?

Well, turns out someone did, in 1972.

I’m learning the local humor in Galicia. I was told an old lady was killed by the Fun Train crossing the street and the guy then laughed.

Just finished Milton Mayer's 1955 book They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-1945. I stumbled onto it on the Libby app, having never heard of it. I was not disappointed. Highly recommend for anyone trying to understand how we got to this moment in the US. The parallels are eerie. 1/2

Academics and other researchers:

How are you handling the GenAI convo with collaborators?

Got this growing feeling that I’m going to have to chat about or even formally write down rules around AI use on collab projects.

Because I’m seeing a lot of my colleagues jump on the GenAI bandwagon.

Will I get a good income out of doing a PhD? Of course not.

But will I at least also find a stable job that allows me to pursue my research? Also no.

But will I at least be happy doing what I like? Hahaha also no.

Sounds like a terrible career. Where can I find the application?
