I take a twice-daily med for chronic migraine, and it works pretty well so it's a while since I've had one, but I think today the migraine is hustling harder than my pills.

Bringing back a punishment that the Victorians found too brutal and harmful to society when we already kept doing it long after they ended it, cool, cool, cool. These people are outlaws in the original sense of the word.

It’s simply unimaginable that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz has just bowed to RFK Jr. and approved funding for an utterly unethical clinical trial that will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine in Guinea Bissau. It is to be conducted by researchers accused of academic misconduct.

I'm teaching an online class this quarter, and while there are particular challenges to online teaching, my students are so awesome and supportive of each other and of me and it's great. I hate when people speak poorly of learners, because in my experience people really want to learn.

My daughter gave the bunny a long strip of butcher paper, and she loves it. Digs on it, rips it, throws it, frolics on it. It is a paper party out there.

It's awful. I don't know if it's Ai or what, but I'm suddenly getting a lot more of those pay-to-play publishers telling me I can write a textbook for my students. The spam emails that make it through the filter have greatly increased.

Went for a walk with the husband to get a haircut and it's gorgeous outside and our very walkable town was being walked by tons of neighbors and their pets, and now I have a lot fewer split ends and a little less despair.

I would be mad about Cowper, but I still refuse to pronounce Jekyll right. My battles are all very individual and stupid.

Kafka would be horrified, because he didn't want anyone to depict the creature, but there were nearly fifty years of illustrations prior to that point.

My kid found a Venezuelan film adaptation of The Metamorphosis from 1962 (the first film adaptation of the text!) on YouTube and we watched it and it was great and the creature is SO disgusting.

My Bible as Literature class in college taught that feet were often used as a euphemism for penis in the Hebrew of that era, so like, when Saul uncovers his feet in 1 Samuel 24, that's a polite way of saying he was urinating. (I see the New International version translates it that way.)

I’ve occasionally estranged myself from a close relative to protect either myself or my children and I have no regrets about it. It was fine! No columnist can make me feel bad about it.

“Universities must stop falling in love with every new piece of software … that the tech industry pitches as essential. Administrators spend on software as if it is a durable investment, when all of the evidence shows that it … makes bloat worse.” globecollegetown.substack.com/p/higher-ed-...

College campuses need to be liberated from their administrators

Higher ed is being strangled by absurd and costly rules. What message is that sending to students?

I remember some test that found that a model similar to my nearly-thirty-year-old car had the best interface for reacting quickly without looking, and listen, would I like a newer car? Yes, but not if it comes with broad smooth swathes of screen.

And a lot of us have jobs that regularly change hours anyway. College instructors, of course, but it's not like that's the only job where hours are constantly shifting.

Exactly this. And in fact, many models *have* been created this way, and decades of prior machine learning systems *were* created this way, consensually. These things are choices! People are STILL working this way! It’s not just that a better world is possible — it already EXISTS. We can nurture it.

Ah, yes, "shitty" cosmetology certificates, because we will never again need anyone who knows how to cut hair or perform skincare now that we have Ai. Thanks, Matty. It's actually good that a career that cannot be automated shouldn't be affordable to people who want to do it.
