Got an email from a student asking to rewrite their AI paper. The email was composed by AI, I think, because it was highly respectful and thanked me for catching them.

Gonna try to start using this site more. It's a hellsite, but not as relentlessly depressing. This is what I bring to the table. Does anyone have shoes that match my jacket or want to start a ska band?

Took an adhd break from grading papers to do a petty check in on recurring themes in student work this semester. 62 of 211 students spelled my name wrong. 194 of 211 students put bibliographic entries in their footnotes despite multiple warnings not to.

I'm about to have a mental breakdown because I just saw another lecturer's feedback to student work on Canvas. Like I put so much work into feedback. Dozens of hours a week. This dude just copied and pasted, "Fantastic work!" A dozen times. 80% of his class got full credit. No annotations.

Me in class making fun of Victorian Era lads for doing bumps of Buffalo Tongue to get boners and everyone laughs. Me making fun of Chiropractors and everyone gets mad.

How can I expect my students to read history when I can't even get my wife to?!? Does she even love me?

So any CC or JC Sociology or Social Science instructors/professors, I have a question and need some help. I'm teaching an upper division Social Movements class, most of my students are transfer students and soc majors. Not all of them, but a large number are unable to read scholarly lit. /1

Only in America can a university seek to close deficits by closing revenue generating English and foreign language departments when not even considering for a second whether a money losing football program should be cut. And some people say American exceptionalism is dead. Pshaw.

For fun AI moments in teaching. I had a student swear they didn't use chatgpt for a paper AFTER I pointed out they left in passage, "My responses are generated based on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available information."

It's maddening watching conservatives (and unfortunately moderates) now just openly defending white nationalists and eugenicists. The Overton window shifted way more aggressively than I could've imagined.

Shouldn’t have been surprised that it only took two tweets for a Twitter account to go from “fuck the strike, you guys make thousands of dollars an episode!” to “Civil rights ruined this country” and “Hitler offered a good alternative to communism” but I was

I remember making a dumb character in a video game over decade ago with assassin in the name. Game was like nope, that contains profanity. I guess since then, the only two options are overzealous moderation or letting people just pick n-word as their handle. I'm not a tech guy someone help me out.

How's Twitter content moderation going? Not violating ToS you say?

Reskeet a picture of yourself and your age. I’m 38.

Me, a 38 year old man with a dumb fucking mustache and sunglasses looking wistfully off into the distance to make it look like I don't care about this selfie.

In light of weird demonic and satanic panic nonsense coming back unto the national spotlight. Can I recommend everyone read Elizabeth Reis' Damned Women: Sinners and Witches in Puritan New England.

My wife color coordinated the spines and I've never wanted a divorce so bad. My office bookcase is messier somehow.

you can always spot a twitter user in the wild by how they type because only in the fires of hell does someone gain the experience to reflexively know how to write under the assumption that the most annoying person imaginable will grossly misread the original point.

Teaching a class on social movements this fall and I gotta start preparing the syllabus. Throw reading my way!
