Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

Bob's Burgers: Marshmallow - "Seabird" Song YouTube video by Cloudy

So I'm watching through Bob's Burgers 🍔 for the first time and did NOT expect to hear Marshmallow to drop an incredible cover of Seabird that hit me in all of the feels 🥹

Are you listening, university admin?

Stop capitulating and stand up for your faculty and students!

oh hey look more proof positive that the best response to a trump lawsuit is “fuck you, make me.” hope everyone who gave in without a fight feels like the utter rubes they are.

I'm just going to say it:

I think Garrett Stubbs should be the #Phillies backup catcher.

Just discovered a virtual co-working game called "On Together" where you can body-double or have shared focus/work sessions with folks from all over the place. Has pomodoro timers, task lists, background noise sound mixers too. Pretty cool!

Just found five AI-generated, completely fraudulent submissions to the journal that I edit. Submitted rapid-fire by a gmail address affiliated with researcher who does not exist.

The era of AI slop in academic journals is here, right now. The fraudsters will only get better from here.

Commenting on energy injustice is now the floor for any halftime act.

You become largely desensitized to the gnawing sense of existential dread.

AAUP President Todd Wolfson issued the following statement in response to Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt's Executive Order issued today immediately eliminating academic tenure at the state’s public regional universities and community colleges.

Three-year-old child forced to serve as her own attorney in Tucson immigration court More than a dozen undocumented minors were forced to make their case in front of an immigration judge as the Trump administration ramps up removal proceedings.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

The author does not call for the abolishment of ICE. The article calls for "better training" for law enforcement, including federal immigration law enforcement.

Training and education are not the issue.

ICE should be abolished.

Hi, criminal justice professor here...

What the fuck is this??

I don't get why they are only predicting snowfall totals through 7:00 Sunday on this map when the bulk of snow we are getting in this region is happening throughout the day on Sunday.

Virginia Lawmakers Ask Voters to Repeal a Jim Crow-Era Lifetime Ban on Voting - Bolts Voters will decide this year whether to end Virginia’s uniquely harsh felony disenfranchisement rules. They'll also vote on abortion, gay marriage, and redistricting.

JUST IN: Virginia's legislature just adopted a constitutional amendment that would end Virginia's rules that ban people from voting for life.

Virginia currently is the only state that strips people of voting rights for life for any felony. Youngkin rolled back reforms.

Now going to a referendum.

This semester, I think I'm going to have a discussion board/poll for my classes where folks can submit songs to listen to and then vote whether they are a "banger" or "basic." Can't wait to introduce the kids to 90's indie-rock and trip hop 😂

If the #Phillies are committed to holding onto a roster of aging, past-peak players, why not just lean into it?

Start making some phone calls...

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

The notes from the last update stated the paths/battlepasses would not expire.

I keep catching strays from "technology is neutral" people, so let's set things straight.

1) Technology is not neutral, especially the subset of technology called "algorithms"
2) The form-factor that makes a technology into a tool is not neutral
3) How tools are productized is not neutral

How effective is protesting? According to historians and political scientists: very From emancipation to women’s suffrage, civil rights and BLM, mass movement has shaped the arc of US history

It’s #Festivus, and we’ve got a lot of problems with the politicians driving mass incarceration & criminalization – and they’re gonna hear about it.

Multiple department-level Deans are an example of the admin bloat that has become so pervasive in Academia

The "Dean" of a college department no less! 😂

Thanks!

I do indeed struggle with my writing 😭

I may also have this book (unread) somewhere in my office...🤦‍♀️

Time for a winter "break" read!
