Currently teaching, reading, and writing, in that order. I enjoy looking at old boats.

My contributor copy of Tales of Sley House 2025 from @sleyhouseeditor.bsky.social came in today! Pick it up to read my story, "Scratches," the second piece of fiction that has been published! It means so much that people want to share the stories I've been working on.

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Damn fossils are cool
Fuck it.
It's not Friday, but I'm going to share fossils.
This is Porocrinus, an echinoderm from the Ordovician Maquoketa formation near Eldorado, Iowa.
The arms are missing, but the calyx is very unique.

After having time to sit with it, I have decided that I did not care for Del Toro's 'Frankenstein.' I didn't like Victor, and I thought that most of the changes from the novel (I like the 1818 version) were less impactful. The first act was fun, though.

thanks to AI you can now become the malignant illusion spinning demiurge whom Descartes had to axiomatically banish in order to make Rationality possible
The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Huh. It's the right call, but I can't believe there are some actual consequences. Good for the IGA.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.
