One of our main blindspots as a country is that we haven’t grappled with the giant predatory evil of diaper companies, preying on tired parents who can’t do math.

In this moment, I think we should all come together and say, as a single nation united:

β€œβ€¦well at least they aren’t the Yankees. Go Sox!”

I will start teaching my students how to use AI when my colleagues in computer science start to teach Homer, Dante, Langston Hughes, Borges, Foucault, Audre Lord, Spivak, and Donna Haraway in their classes

Anyone claiming that their technology "democratizes" should be forced to write and submit an essay on what democracy is to a local political scientist.

New idea: just call oral vaccines β€œbaby supplements” and talk about how they will get your baby jacked. Problem solved.

Its also kind of amazing how condensed the vaccines are now. I think it was only ever two pokes at one time.

My favorite bit of Butler/Brown lore. A member of my committee was there for it.

If this happens I will call it an unmitigated win and go apologize for all the mean things I said about AI.

One of the joys of teaching intro level classes is playing out your problems with the field on unsuspecting freshmen.

This is what you want me to bring into my classroom? Into my research? Into every part of my life?
What a joke.

This is what you get with AI, not your perfectly tailored entertainment, but an endless pile of slop and shit produced for the minimum money possible. Just Adorno’s culture industry taken to its absolute extreme.

How (Not) to Save the American University Why splitting the sciences and humanitiesβ€”and appeasing Trumpβ€”won’t work.

So if you remember that frustrating article a couple of weeks ago at the Dispatch suggesting that we ought to save the sciences by shoving the humanities overboard, I wrote a response to the financial illiteracy and moral cowardice of that position: thedispatch.com/article/univ...

The three modes of political theory:

"Would you look at this shit"

"I've got a fix for this shit"

"Do you have any idea how far back this shit goes"

Whole ass books (and dissertations/pubs by @drprofivey.bsky.social ) have been written to prove this exact point.

For a long time, for many - on the left, in journalism - the primary gesture of holding power to account was unmasking it. That's critically inert and ineffective. Neoliberalism unabashedly proclaimed the priority of wealth over democracy. Now we face authoritarianism without apology. Nothing hidden
