My first doctoral student ever successfully defended her dissertation this morning, and it’s sort of amazing and awe-inspiring and humbling as a mentor, right?

I’ve heard a lot of issues folks are having with using data panels. Does anyone have a party they prefer to go through? I’ve heard rumblings that prolific may not be great and others recommended forthright access. Any recs?

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Let’s swap out the fragile, slowly maturing frontal cortexes of society’s teens and replace them with a soulless, sycophantic pattern recognizing machine designed by hubristic, Ayn Rand obsessed simpletons with no historical sensibility, & whose main motivation is profit maximization. This is fine.

I feel like "academic hiring" discourse is always kind of downstream of the fact that in the 50s we started building a giant public system to make a college education almost universally available and in the 80s and 90s we started taking it apart to go back to the only-the-rich model

Confession as a Michigan fan: I care more about the Michigan State game than the OSU game. I respect the rivalry, but from a pragmatic angle, I have to interact with way more MSU people than OSU people. Keep in mind, caring is relative. My “caring more” is still very low on caring.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

AI is killing the college essay as more professors ditch robot-written papers for in-class exams. So now even fewer students are being taught to write well (an energy intensive task!). Students lose out, bc good writing = good thinking: a training of the brain towards structure, style & substance.

A few questions about Brett Kavanaugh: nymag.com/intelligence...

Screenshot of NYMag article, which reads:

“All of this leads me to wonder: Has Brett Kavanaugh ever pulled up to a Home Depot to hire a day laborer to work on his backyard? Has he bought fresh-cut mangoes from a frutero? What about getting his car vacuumed and washed by an ensemble of workers? Does he leave a tip for the Central American hotel worker who cleans up his rooms? Has he gotten his hair cut by a Dominican barber? And can he imagine himself interacting with any of these workers, who may or may not be undocumented, during an ICE sweep that lands them in an unmarked vehicle, manned by masked agents of the state, subjecting them and their families to untold trauma until their release, which may not happen for days, if at all? Because I've done all of those things, and I can - and now I wonder if I might one day be swept up with them, too.”
