Not using ChatGPT is one of my favorite hobbies, it’s great!
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

What are the virtual social plans for #lsa2026?
So far:
- Hangouts in the zoom after each plenary, discuss the talk or just catch up!
- Sign up for "dinner with linguists" small group zoom hangs with hosts including me, @heidiharley.bsky.social, and maybe you? (Still looking for volunteers!)

"The main function of the compact is to replace such provisions of law with 'the deal'—that is, a piece of paper, signed by the university, that purports to entitle the Department of Justice, on the basis of its own 'finding,' to take away all of these 'benefits'".

I thought I'd put the administration's proposed "compact" with universities in context, so I wrote the blog post below.
It's especially for journalists covering this story!
Many details about how the compact itself works and why the administration has retreated to this strategy.
