Early warning signs are mounting that AI is already impacting the job market in NYC. New data just out show entry-level job postings in the city are way down in the careers most exposed to AI. Below chart shows change in NYC since 2022: This is coming fast and we are doing almost nothing about it.

On our campus a coyote family (?) of five is roaming the trees. I wonder where they fall out AND they have been seen chasing deer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcQ7...

I’m at the Palisades Interstate Park with my Ecology class and watching the tugboat on the Hudson. Of course the base line from the Barney Miller show is playing any head.

(1) Oooo ... drat. My first non academic email account with yahoo was the one I used from 1999? to about 2010. I used a number associated with my birth in my email address and a computer science friend informed me of the danger. So I made a new one and checked in once in a blue moon.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

When I was taking Ethology in the early 1990's, the biggest cardinal sin was Anthropomorphism! which would earn you a spot among the traitors in the 9th circle of hell. We were supposed to treat animals like little robots and yes, it lead to good science. Frustrating, we had to prove everything.

I learned a new phrase today: Emotional Support Pizza. Which inspires me to wonder if there are Emotional Support Brownies, Ice Cream, Cheesecake, and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.

Rubinette Apple off of my tree. It’s a warm loving daughter of the Cox’s Orange Pippin and is pretty tasty here in the NYC area. The local Cox’s Orange Pippin are bland and the wine concept of Terre really applies.

Every time I look at a story or go back on Threads I’m getting a ZOMG! TURN ON YOUR THREADS NOTIFICATION! popup. What an annoying social media platform. I feel like Chris Knight’s comment about the Marie Curie Look-a-like contest. “I ask myself, Why do I bother?”

We borrowed my parents bike lock. I forgot to write down or photograph the password and mixed up the letters because the combination was so easy. Oh hell. I forgot it. So this evening I methodically went through 2,500 combinations out of 10,000 before I stumbled on it. Always take a picture.

(1) This year our college will be reading The Serviceberry by Robin Kimmerer. Around a quarter of a century ago I became acquainted with this wonderful plant. The berries are tasty and purple. They look like purple blueberries and as a fruit tree there is little mess.

We haven't flown on a airplane in about 3 years. My college reunion is approaching so I looked up the airline ticket cost. Okay, $800 round trip economy with no carry ons and no checked baggage. $100 for one checked bag. $1000 for "Premium" Economy. Yeesh. I'm wondering if I can do this by train.

I often argue that coming out of WWII, oligarchs had three big problems, (1) end of imperial possession which were used to whipsaw the, (2) high percent unionized workforce that demanded, (3) high marginal taxes that produced investment and high union pay by preventing elite capture of all profit.

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

Dave Eggers was suggested that we have weekly reading time as a group. His idea was to choose a weekend time, outside under the trees and read for two hours. This could be fun.

I’m at the Dave Eggers talk at Chautauqua and WOW, I need to read his work. I’ll share a link later.
