Procrastination as Resistance. Everyone can do their part to allow space for reflection. Good news for disorganized eejits like myself who are easily distracted.

Hurrah! You can all hear our new song, as a part of the soundtrack to @josie.zone 's awesome new book about Beck. Being involved in this project has been awesome, and we're happy with the way the song turned out, too. Hope you like it x

but really, this post is just me reaffirming that I am not interested in whether they can do math because the primary function of LLMs is to help centralize, justify, and validate power, and they are doing that successfully already

If you feel the need to correct an expert in their field on Bluesky, and that expert happens to be a black woman, I suggest you hold off a moment. A dozen other fuckwit eejits have probably already posted their "corrections" before you even read the post.

Exactly! Pivot tables can actually be useful without having the risk of economic/environmental collapse, and how many people know what they are.

Real case -Tec de Monterrey is a private University in Mexico with campuses across Mexico. It relies on online platforms for class teaching and evaluation. When AWS went down in October 2025, class materials/tools were locked down nationwide because AWS is the backbone for the LMS they use, Canvas

Is Haralambos' "Sociology - Themes and Perspectives" still a good introduction to Sociology or is it too far out of date? Is there a better intro text for the 21st century? #askbluesky #sociology

The obviously valid points Dr Roberts makes about Higher-Ed reimbursement policies triggered some repressed trauma in me about the Concur platform. By order of magnitude, It is the most loathsome, burdensome platform ive ever had to deal with (and I've worked with Teams and Canvas!).

I would have to disagree that "itś fine" There are 100s of recently unemployed video game developers who would also strongly disagree that it is OK to add to/enhance a video game via AI, especially when it fundamentally changes what the game creator made and without their consent or input.

Just out of curiosity, does this avalanche of AI-slop help or hinder someone who is just starting and trying to get their research published? If the paper submitted has weaknesses, but is obviously 100% human written does it now have more chance of acceptance because "at least it's not AI"?

I know language changes over time, but I am disappointed that the word "provocative" has now come to be used as a euphuism for "this person was a complete cunt of a human being".
