WASHINGTON (AP) — Canada has lost its measles elimination status because of continued spread, international health experts say.

The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

I teach this movie this semester in Intro to Pop Culture.

Yes please.

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

In truly knowing your audience our DM had a puzzle room for us today. For the group of college faculty, college librarian, and museum education director, he made a puzzle where we had to sort books into their proper locations. To say we were all in, is an understatement.

A needlework display area with fabric, needles, and every colour of dmc hung on floss drops.

And that is every single regular colour of dmc floss prepped and hung in my craft closet. #dmcfloss #needlework #embroidery

Evaluation is important and we have good ways of evaluating instructors (observations, audits, mentoring). But the evidence is clear that asking students to Yelp review their instructors the week before exams yields no valuable information on teaching or learning--just customer satisfaction.

Paperback books are like velveteen rabbits — ours to be loved and squeezed and read and stuffed into shoulder bags and left in the sun and read and read again until there's nothing left but memories from something real

Feline Feces (lib catturd) @kitttenn.bsky.social M dashes (the long dash) are a dead giveaway. LLMs love using them for some reason, while actual human beings have no idea how to type that into the computer. They also love sets of three, overtly parallel structure, and impersonal writing.

Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD.

Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?

Kill the fascist within you.

I think this is the lesson. Take what you need from the material. Just don't give them money. THEY WILL BE FINE. THEY HAVE SO MUCH MONEY. In one case, enough money to do villain selfies on a yacht, drinking and smoking a cigar, telling the poors to suck it.

romance heroines love to see their love interest for the first time and be like "never before had I seen such a cruel, uncaring countenance" girl you are going to be gasping for it in 250 pages. as soon as he processes his trauma from the Crimean War its over for you

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it"

My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Today's complaint about the AI in education discourse: Too much of it is framed around a future that is going to happen to us, as opposed to seeing the future as something we may have some agency to shape. I reject the deterministic view of AI, particularly genAI. It's a tool, not our master.

not everyone is lucky enough to have a single image that sums up their entire approach to ethics but I'm glad bill watterson gave me one

University is not a business, education is not a product.

My 45 year old husband had a stroke on Sunday. Our only expense is parking. I will happily pay taxes.

This is so well done.

hey a small request:

don't use fucking LLMs or generative "A.i." for anything. they destroy your brain. they're wide open to manipulation by right wing billionaires. they're full of lies. they're based on theft.

just say no.

…I do not expect something like Canada Post to “turn a profit.” I don’t expect my road repairs to make back the money spent on them. I don’t need my healthcare to be “in the green.” I want responsible spending and a vast social safety net that allows for a dignified life for all Canadians.

Proudly so.
