Upset about Stede having left him, trying to reinvent himself while having a broken heart, he gets drunk one night, grabs a knife, and gives himself bangs.

Everyone must compliment his new look because they’re terrified of him.

Someone hasn’t read his Kafka.

I’ve received this. So predatory.

Incredible article which points out that it often collectively costs more to apply for scarce research funding than the funds awarded to the successful proposals.

What an absurd system we've built in the service of efficiency and competition.

Hahaha, I am willing to suspend a LOT of disbelief, but I did laugh pretty hard at that. So silly I almost think it’s a bit of an affectionate nod to genre silliness.

Two glass jars sitting on a kitchen counter. One is full of tomato salsa and the other is full of curtido.

I’ve talked myself into making pupusas for New Year’s Eve. I haven’t done it in like 10 years, and never without the supervision of my Salvadorian best friend. Eeeee, wish me luck! Advance prep almost complete — beans on the stove.

Great question!

Four Frictions: or, How to Resist AI in Education - Public Books We are calling for resistance to the AI industry’s ongoing capture of higher education.
