The gov’t has a new AI chat site called America.gov -- and it's painfully broken. If you like, go see what happens when you tell it to “play Minecraft”. So damn creepy.

Please be aware that this man is an imposter. Though I did write everything he said and I asked him to present for me at the conference, he is not the genuine article. The give-away is that he is not nearly enough of a privileged blowhard. Accept no substitutes!

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

When I last taught my online Graphic Medicine course, I had students team up virtually with a "pro" from some area of the field (e.g. an artist, a scholar, a journalist, a librarian, a clinician, etc.) The few students who followed through on it thought it was an amazing opportunity.

Is there any online community of transgender writers (especially of comics) to whom I could pose some questions? I do not want to intrude on anyone's space, much less their inboxes, but I would like to direct inquiries related to my work in Graphic Medicine to the appropriate parties.

The Trump admin is back with version 2.0 of its higher ed compact. The reason is simple: The first one failed. Compact 2.0 lacks egregious elements of its predecessor. That’s a victory & affirms that the answer to authoritarianism is organized resistance—not compliance. www.aaup.org/news/new-com...

Today's sky outside of Boston feels so unnatural. Though I rationally understand the reason -- Canadian wildfire smoke -- it still leaves me disconcerted. Sepia-toned, dustbowl environment, almost like Arakkis from DUNE. How is everyone holding up?
