Eminently reasonable proposed principles for professors’ use of AI, from a student refusinggenai.wordpress.com/2025/08/29/a...

• Professors should never put a student's words or work into an AI
software without their consent.
• Professors should also be transparent about their Al usage with grading, curriculum building, and any other way they might use it in their teaching.
• If a professor does use Al chatbots in the classroom, they should explain their reasoning behind this decision and how its usage will help students meet learning
outcomes.
• Professors should additionally respect a student's choice to refuse Al. To do this, it would be ideal that they have assignments that students can choose from that do

If you need to explain to an idiot why Tolkien would have despised these goons, I have already grabbed a picture of the relevant passage (and I doubt I was the first):

An image of a passage from the Return of the King, in which Robin the Hobbit Shirriff explains that 'the Chief' (Saruman) has coopted the shirriffs and uses them to lock up or beat people who protest is tyranny - and he always wants more shirriffs, "with all these new rules."

Ditto--my dad’s cousin (and said cousin’s wife) were my cousins, but my grandfather’s friend across the way was my Uncle Bill.

Which actually also confused me because Uncle Bill was older than Methuselah, I was told, and felt more like a second grandfather, but whatever.

So it turns out that in addition to cured meats (duh), fish (duh), and seaweed (huh?), MewMew is a fiend for apricots.

Meanwhile Natasha still favors potato chips and popcorn.

Stop me if I am off base, here, but: Not sure that we want to learn how to manage our business rivals from *checks notes to make sure* a man assassinated by his rivals? www.management-issues.com/opinion/7761...

What leaders can learn from how Julius Caesar won followers and managed rivals

One of the secrets to Julius Caesar's success was the way that he developed and marketed a personal brand based on values and delivering on these values.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Thermasilk socks and gloves with the fingertips cut off are my go-tos. Plus a hot water bottle for my toes.

Have already managed a shade of purple this season, ugh.

Amateurs. My spouse is *very* into making cocktails and will begrudgingly provide me with the Sir Laurence:

-fill the glass with olives
-then and only then add the dirty martini around them

So-called because it's "olivier" than he considers reasonable.

Which medievalist wished we were more relevant, c’mon, fess up, I know it was all of us but only one had the monkey’s paw

Anna Fore Waymack @waymack.bsky.social · 10d

Realizing @lollardfish.bsky.social and @profgabriele.com have surely already seen this, but I guess everything’s medieval now.

Except I’m not sure my house actually has a hearth? and it’s a century-old house, not a modern apartment. Am I defending my heat pump? My microwave?

Like aside from how fast this is happening, during a shutdown, the mind also boggles at the current and future security implications.
