Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
Everything AI generated does not have to be bad but most of it is. So I use it as a pretty accurate barometer of filtering out the bs online. E.g. I saw an ad from a pseudo mental health startup called Liven which was clearly AI and I already knew its bs and the ad proved me right

This is the sort of busybody we need more of. The most relatable thing about the Patriots head coach is that he apparently chases down people in grocery store lots who leave their carts all over the place and makes them stack them in the designated area so employees don't have to go running around
Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Academia is so incredibly fucked up and also a lot of the intellectual work that goes on in the academy is incredibly important
Part of what makes life in the academy tough is holding and navigating both of these truths at the same time

I know its a radical idea but maybe the human body was not made for 8-10 hours of continuous work per day. Everytime I take a break and get back to work, I surprisingly have more energy for it. Such a revelation, I know!

You don’t have to want kids or even enjoy being around them. But it’s also worth unpacking why kids simply existing, learning, or having unmet needs reads as “annoying,” “unlikeable,” or “bad behavior.”
This collective discomfort with noise, need, & vulnerability is why many ADULTS are struggling.
