The trick is to learn to #float just above the surface. It is vital that you touch nothing and nothing touches you. I am imperfect at this talent as of yet, but every day, I am practicing my art. Soon, I will be a haunting beyond compare. #whistpr

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

The year is 2025. That guy in your creative writing seminar who was WAY into "American Psycho" in a disturbingly unironic way is now running the Department of the Interior

It will be difficult to measure how well an AI "professor" is doing helping students learn. It's difficult to measure how well a human professor is doing at that. An AI system will get really good student evaluations though. So helpful! So available! So friendly! That's what gets us in the end.

Yup. As a teaching librarian, one of the most important tools in my arsenal is the question, "Where have you already looked and what methods have you used?" Otherwise, I'm just assuming things like baseline knowledge of resources and tools available. 1/x
As a chem TA, one of the most valuable things I ever did with struggling students in office hours was have them narrate for me how they would solve a problem, and then figure out what it was they weren’t getting. That’s how you get the lightbulb moments.

One of the least nuanced assumptions in US political discourse is that folks who have served or are related to people who have served are patriotic or pro-military. The collective memory and personal experiences of Black, indigenous, and other vets of color makes that way more complicated.

The robot is not a bargaining unit member and must not be given bargaining unit work. Faculty unions should be looking over their contracts right now, figuring out exactly how to grieve or otherwise oppose the introduction of these systems.

As I once said in a training, for people who use screen readers to compile link lists, the results sound like the seagulls in Finding Nemo and are about as useful.

Here's the bill: "IT SHALL BE UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON OR PERSONS, INVOLVED IN A LAWFUL ASSEMBLY, UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY, OR RIOT, TO WEAR A HOOD, MASK, OR DEVICE WHEREBY THE PERSON OR THE PERSON'S FACE IS DISGUISED." nysenate.gov/legislation/...

Due to the fireworks, New York City's air quality is the worst in the world tonight. When AQI is low, it's a good idea to wear a mask to protect your health. But this could soon be a crime, as one of the mask ban bills prohibits masks at "lawful assemblies." #NoNYMaskBan

Instead of panicking or yet another postmortem (forgive me I've been Black this whole time so not much of this is breaking for me), link up with like minded folk for practical solidarity. Shield those more vulnerable than you and figure out how you can soften structural abandonment.
