When something hits a level of ambient ubiquitousness, it is just like the gas at an autechre show…

It is hard to overstate the stress produced by the incoherence of academic institutions pumping generative AI when they want to play business and then leaving instructors to deal with the results when they want to play school

Cheating with an LLM is the easiest thing in the world for a student to do, but it creates a massive, laborious headache for a prof, if you intend to take it seriously. There’s meetings, emails, discussions, moral dilemmas. It’s just incredibly burdensome, on top of everything else right now.

I had 9 meetings about students using Chat GPT/LLMs on their papers today.

If you want to know why professors burn out, ask anyone trying to teach critical thinking and writing skills to Freshmen....

Stranger Things season 1 is, in retrospect, incredibly Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH coded

I think I’m a chronically itchy person and I think they’re fine (but I also think wool sweaters on skin are fine so you maybe shouldn’t trust me)

I don’t know but I think they help with lots of standing in the lecture hall

What 9 hours of lecturing a week does to a person is make them order and then sing the praises of compression socks lol

Was it the non-chicken chicken nuggets wegman’s used to sell in the big bag (and then mysteriously stopped selling the big bag?)

I have burned so much food on that thing from years of impatience waiting for it to heat up

No, I did not treat the pan correctly and likely still don’t, according to someone too busy being a process authoritarian to contemplate the unbearable, unremarkable sum of life playing out on the surface areas of cast iron pans

The other day I used a cast iron pan and remembered that my mom bought it for me the summer before college, and I calculated that this was approximately half my life ago

Pippi superhumanly powerful and Karlsson can fly, but all of Emil’s appalling heists and his feats and follies all emerge from his normal child self, which is terrifying and enthralling

Lindgren’s Emil stories are way funnier than Pippi and Karlsson-on-the-roof, in my humble opinion

My question is why aren’t pomelos for sale at the closest store. Why aren’t they selling this fruit on the street corner.

Going to the store to buy and then promptly eat a pomelo with my child. Truly one of life’s great joys
