iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Very excited for January when I get to see what happens when you have the most meticulous class planner I know (not me) co-teach a pedagogy seminar with someone who has described themselves in professional settings as a “pedagogical chaos goblin” (me).

I didn’t realize that until just now, but ohmygod. It’s perfect. 10/10 no notes.

Your named non American/European authors are Confucius and Augustine. You have as many LITERAL NAZIS (Heidegger) as you do authors from Asia (Confucius). Twelve percent—TWELVE PERCENT—of the authors are women. If I were associated with making this, I'd be DEEPLY embarrassed.

Oh, you'd like to talk about "great questions of human life" and your most recent political philosopher is Karl Marx? Your only psychologist is William James? You have more fucking Romans on there than you do people from the 20th Century.

I'm a professional philosopher. Something like half of the names on this list are philosophers, depending on how you draw your lines. These names don't make up half of the authors IN MY INTRO TO ETHICS CLASS. This list is garbage not because of what's there but because of what's not.

Heidegger? Nice to see an ACTUAL NAZI on that list.

I love that Mr. “Best Communicator on Earth” is out here saying that accountability is bad when the median voter sounds like Samuel L. Jackson delivering the Ezekiel 25:17 speech from Pulp Fiction.

Rahm Emanuel should shut the fuck up. In fact, Rahm Emanuel and James Carville should have a shutting the fuck up contest to see who can do the best job of just shutting the fuck up.

Does it ever seem weird to you that the TNG episode that best predicted the 21st Century was Darmok?

It gives me no joy to say that it was the ghosts in Garfield's Halloween Adventure.

When my wife and I lived in Spain, we saw a guy’s leg bend at a 90 degree angle where there was no joint. The fact that we saw it on a tiny CRT tv on a shelf in the corner of a bar didn’t make it suddenly watchable. Bad leg injuries are something else.

Weirdly gave me a chance to explain anti-trans discrimination to my kids.

There's only one rule in that circumstance: Act only on that maxim that you can at the same time will it be a universal law of nature.

I'm watching the Vikings game and getting—I shit you not—Texas senate ads.

My man looks like the state fair butter sculpture made flesh.

I have seen as many Texas senate ads as I have Minnesota governor and Iowa senate ads combined, despite the fact that I live in one state, border and share a media market with another, and live on the literal opposite end of the country of the third.

Seeing political ads while I watch the Vikings game from here in my living room in Southeast Minnesota and I cannot stress the degree to which I do not live in Texas.

I was just explaining anti-trans discrimination to my 9YO because of a political ad and 9YO just stops and goes, "If you say you're afraid of people, you're actually afraid of you" and like, holy shit the wisdom of babes, friends.

I think it was a bold choice to bless the elephant and mouse simultaneously.

Imagine bringing your family’s beloved goldendoodle or whatever and you turn around and are suddenly face-to-face with a goddamn Clydesdale in the middle of a church.

AI dipshittery aside, can you imagine telling the pope—the person chosen by arguably the most famous electoral process in global history—that "no one elected you"? That the spiritual leader of 1.4 BILLION Catholics has "absolutely no weight in this debate" and is being used? Like, what the fuck?

Bluey should have not just been on the list but been in the top ten!!

There's a basically identical ad running in my district (MN-01) where the incumbent Republican *should* be safe, but a combo of a building blue wave and outrage over a data center just outside of the district's biggest city (which is happening because of bribes) are maybe making some things happen.

The degree to which these people tell on themselves without realizing it is truly a sight to behold.
