There are two outspoken Zionists on Stranger Things who have suffered zero consequences for publicly stating genocidal nonsense during the past 2 years. If you can't manage to boycott, or at least pirate that show, you can go to hell

I was very disconcerted two weeks ago when the student presenters on the weekly readings did a jeopardy style game after their presentation and none of their peers seemed able to remember information they’d just been given 5-10 minutes prior.

I worry about their short term memory.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

When I ask them: "What are you reading? What are you watching? What are you listening to?" Often, the answer is: nothing. Which has a direct effect on their over-use of prompts and AI, because they can't think of ideas, because they are literally not engaging with a single figurative thing.

This is not a "students today" post--it's more "this is a new form of dysfunction" that doesn't look exactly like it's been in previous decades. It's more than just "first-year chaos." It's an across-the-board inability to process instructions, engage with longer texts, and *connect* with others.

We keep adjusting our goalposts, trying to meet students where they're at--but for some, that place is a kind of non-place, where they don't complete any work or engage with the class, but still receive a high grade. Emails are ignored. They can't meet a deadline or keep an appointment.

We're seeing possibly the worst attendance in history. Even in creative writing classes, where students generally want to participate and have their voice heard--they're not showing up, ignoring guidelines and feedback, and either describing expectations as "unclear" or simply refusing to comply.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

I saw this multiple times at ASA this past year.

Note I am not taking about the use of extruded images to make a point about bias, tropes, training data, or visual analysis. I'm talking generating an image that just says "AI" with a bunch of bullshit artifacts around it on slide 2.

I especially feel this when sociologists who study technology do this.

Y'all are supposed to take sociotechnical approaches to the study of technology. A throwaway AI-generated image does not help that credibility.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I was able to donate another 50. There are only 6 hours left in this fundraiser. Let’s help them make the amount for urgent aid for 6 families in Gaza. Their suffering continues unabated. We cannot abandon them.

I’m raising funds for my bday which is coming up soon. Who will join me in this?
I was able to donate 50. It was doubled. Who can join me? Please.
This is not a useless task so long as there’s a chance just one person can see this and help.

So here’s hoping.

Six families, etc.:

I’m genuinely having flashbacks to a male student I had years ago who used his reflection paper to complain about how women peers yelled at him for trying to help a drunk woman in a bathroom. but he at least followed the prompt directions.

this is part of why I have such explicit rubrics.
November 29, 2025 at 5:21 PM
do I want to go look up the prompt so I can see how way off this is? also very wild to be like “I don’t see teasing to enforce gender as problem” and then to later say “I don’t want anyone to be bullied but they need to know they belong to the Lord” lmaooo

Still haven't read the full agreement because I deserve nice things occasionally. But there's really a need for a propublica-type investigation into the social network of these boards, presidents, & donors with the admin. At the same time, exploring the similarities and differences across deals.
I would love to see detailed reporting about how these deals come together. This one looks like an inside job even more than Columbia’s.
I’ll look at it in more depth later but Northwestern’s agreement seems more campus-specific than previous deals and imposes restrictions on campus conduct beyond what others ave agreed to. Northwestern seems to have surrendered autonomy to a shocking extent. www.northwestern.edu/president/do...

I’m not sure why AI is so prominent in this article since a historian did the lion’s share of the archival digging and AI simply verified what experts already confirmed.

the term fast fashion was literally coined in the 1980s to describe what Zara was doing because they literally changed the entire process for clothing production so they could get runway trends out to the public faster. they are the blueprint that Forever 21 and H&M followed!
Zara is fast fashion.
It is cheap in every sense of the word lol
Zara is not cheap, but the clothing is poorly made. Bad combination. H&M is both cheap & poorly made.

In urban metro centers so much of income goes to the most basic essentials that there is little choice for upper income ppl to shop there. The alt is own only 5 expensive shirts & 1 jacket & rotate

Needless to say that one of the guardians of Western Civilization doesn’t know it’s “fewer” rather than “less”
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

To put the Northwestern capitulation into human terms: $75 million is the equivalent of three head football coaches a year for three years.
