Thoughts on AI, upon reading first drafts of student papers: AI sometimes sounds like the worst student writing, particularly of those from high schools that didn’t prepare them well. I want to tear apart the AI slop, but I don’t want to discourage the poor writers in case I misdiagnose which it is.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

The night before Thanksgiving, we used to meet at the bar. Then it was the indie coffee shop in the evening. Now they close early, so it’s the Barnes & Noble Starbucks at 4pm. Middle age is here.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Sometimes I try to get away from linguistic anthropology, but in the end, I get pulled back—this time by Briggs and Bauman. Intertextuality becomes the mechanism through which I argue salteñas are actually a symbol of indigeneity. Who knew? (Not even me when I wrote the abstract) #aaa2025
