If y’all are shocked about the contents of the leaked young republicans chat wait until you hear what the middle aged republicans, old republicans, and the leader of the entire party think.

Maybe AI could teach the DC press corps about follow-up questions. Because they apparently are unaware of such things.

I won’t be joining any of you on mastodon. Have fun over there with your towers or whatever the shit.

Play “Here Comes the Hotstepper” and dance with your dog. You won’t regret it. Your dog might, but you won’t.

My neighborhood is *the* place to trick or treat around these parts so I’m stockpiling candy but I’ve nearly finished all the Peanut M&M’s already. Fuck them kids. Have a Snickers you big baby.

Me: Is there something I could do differently to improve my sleep?

Doctor: I recommend not looking at your phone for at least an hour before bed.

Me: So nothing then.

Living in a small town is weird b/c you step into a bar and get a hug from a former student who asks if you can make it to his letter ceremony at halftime tomorrow, and oh do you want to play go fish with your athletic trainer, and cool there’s your old neighbor with a tequila shot ready for you.

Higher Ed in 2025 is opening your mailbox to see that your institution has sent you:

1. A Center for Teaching and Learning call to integrate AI into your classroom; and

2. An Office of Academic Integrity email encouraging you to crack down on students who use AI to cheat.

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.

Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.

Whenever anyone says how much of the U.S. economy is tied to AI right now, I'm like...damn, what if a single rich person had any idea other than "try to zero out labor costs through theft."
