i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction โ€” at least for the next few years โ€”ย of the virginia republican party. lmao.

I know this is meant as slander but it goes kind of hard. Zohran should reappropriate this!

VT Religion and Culture is truly such a gem of a department and is absolutely stacked with amazing and kind scholars. Iโ€™ve benefitted immensely from the generosity of my colleagues and know how much we all have given to our teaching and service. The shortsightedness of this decision absolutely blows

just got word that my department's being shut down. two things:

1. no, i'm not okay. i've no words for how hard i've worked for this department and this institution. i feel betrayed, frankly, though i know it's not personal.

2. we rocked, y'all. i've no words for how hard we rocked, either.

Anyway, happy Monday! The Dean is shutting down my department - Religion & Culture, the only 1 of is kind in the country & home to the innovative Major in Humanities for Public Service. There is no immediate budgetary or political pressure for this decision

People think I'm biased against Jeff Bezos, but here's Sartoria F. Caraceni, widely considered one of the best bespoke tailoring houses in the world, commenting on Bezos's wedding suit.

Brad Lander: "I also need to thank some of the most important people in my life and on this campaignโ€”I mean, of course, the NYT editorial board. Just kidding, of course: I love Wordle and Connections, but I really urge the Times to cancel their new feature 'Editorial Riddles.' No one likes those."

I don't think we can fight AI creep by weaponizing grades. Nobody learns anything if we decide our job is to be plagiarism mall cops. If we don't win this argument at the level of process, convincing students they CAN'T learn what we have to teach them if they outsource to AI, we won't win at all.
