Last year, my colleague and I decided to participate in our college's winter holiday party bingo game for staff and faculty. Things were pretty grim & morale low, we thought why not so something absolutely silly. So we (history dept.) challenged the poli sci department to try and beat our bingo team

Actually, this is amazing advice. Give yourself a break. No writing, no research. And no fancy hobbies or exercise. Only rotting! We all need it occasionally. I would add, "Watch bad TV"
I’ve just found this post-it in my diary, in between Feb and March. I have no recollection of what it means and it isn’t my handwriting or anyone’s I recognise 🤔😵 What does it mean!!!?
Is it ‘not’ or ‘hot’?

This turn can't come fast enough. This is such a deeply embarrassing time for educational leadership. Their priorities have no been student learning or wellbeing. The lack of due diligence is on them. Outsourcing decision-making to consultants, tech, & the MBA crowd was bad decision making.
The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."
