ChatGPT can never drink a bottle of wine, stare at a painting, and spark a thesis chapter. That’s how I know my job is safe. 😂

Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people.

damn it’s crazy how the slurs filled the chat all by themselves. couldn’t be helped i’m sure. chats are always devolving of their own accord

Right? My early internet was mostly marked by receiving chain emails and sexually explicit ICQ messages before getting yelled at to get offline so my parents could use the phone 😂

“We thought we were living in a politically neutral slave state.”

But… you folks seem super bothered by this. Based on yours and others’ numerous replies, it seems like a pretty visible critique to me.

👏

Yeah, I don’t think any of us would care. We openly call ourselves settlers here and we’re pretty forthcoming (obviously not enough) about colonial harm, unlike our southern neighbours. Truly don’t understand this silly discourse but it reeks of American insecurity over their own “exceptionalism”.

I can’t fucking handle the dystopian capitalist hellscape that is LinkedIn

He’s mayor. Photo opportunities are like 1/4 of the job.

Activists from the anti-billionaire campaign group "Everyone Hates Elon" went to the Louvre museum in Paris where they hung a framed photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble on February 19.

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

More details coming soon but looks like I might be doing a talk on the other side of the globe this year.
still can't believe where a little bike ride to school went 🙃

This is pretty much my take. I also think there’s a hefty dose of misogyny at play. I thought her film was much more artistically interesting than del Toro’s Frankenstein.

There’s personal preference, and then there’s dogpiling on one of the very few female filmmakers for internet clout.

The misogyny of it all.

People sometimes say things like “If I were the richest person in the world, I would cure cancer / solve world hunger / give everyone a home / etc.”

Beloved, the fact that you would do such things means you will never be one of the richest people in the world.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

I read this as a defence of Chomsky. I think I need to go back to bed 🤣

AI simply cannot stand in front of a classroom, gesticulating wildly and writing semi-illegibly on chalkboards, both of which are key to building rapport and convincing your students you are worth learning from

Wasn’t replying to you. You’re an asshole. And clearly not a woman or a feminist. And clearly lacking reading comprehension.

I was defending you 😂

Still The Same Picture

Ditto Indigenous studies

Being a woman and a feminist doesn’t preclude you from bad takes like this one.

The infantalizing language was also a 🚩. It’s giving “sit down little girl while I fight like the men.” It’s pick-me feminism.

Happy Superb Owl Sunday to all who celebrate!

“Most adjuncts cannot afford to survive without another source of income.”

Honestly thank you so much for this— it’s been very hard to laugh out loud lately 🤣

I told my therapist that I was looking through some of the Epstein files today and he said “oh no don’t tell me Judith Butler is in there”

If they actually cared they’d fund libraries.

Visiting in-laws in Italy was a revelation. People were DELIGHTED by children making noise, dancing to the music at dinner. It was honestly startling coming from Toronto. It makes one realize how much time we spend trying to shut our kids up for no good reason.
