And before long (I suspect) you'll turn around and grade multiple iterations of somebody else's clunky drafts. To everything there is a season!

I could go on and on with this list, but I'll end with one of my mantras, "do less that matters more." AI is a tool of optimization, speed and efficiency. These are not educational values. Telling students they should use AI so they can do more does not help them learn and develop.

If NFL broadcasters are going to treat Deshaun Watson being ok at QB as a sign that he has been Redeemed For His Past, they must remain ideologically consistent. If he starts playing badly again they have to blame it on his failure to repent for his heinous sexual misconduct

How many of my film/media studies pals assign video essays in theory or theory-informed courses? Do you have assignment sheets you'd be willing to share? Looking to figure out if what I (a dummy) have come up with is weird/unrealistic [special attn @damorton.bsky.social @kevinlferguson.bsky.social ]

National soccer media needs to do a better job covering what’s going on in Austin. Entire fan section walks out mid match and it’s absolute crickets out-there. If you’re covering the match and focusing on Nashville’s win or Austin’s loss you are not doing your job.

THE SUPPORTER SECTION IS WALKING OUT. THE POLICE MADE THEM TAKE DOWN THE SIGN. All the normal signs are gone. No "y'all means all." No "trans lives matter." Nothing. It is now quiet. No music, no drums, no chants #AustinFC

As part of my intro to film students' first assignment (focusing on a single frame from a film we've watched) I have students submit a hand-drawn picture of that frame. I do this because taking the time to draw it encourages them to look more closely at it. But a small joy is getting all these:

baseball naming conventions already weird as hell. Multiple teams named after what color socks they once wore. One team is latin catholic priests. Another is beer-makers. Whatever a 'trolly-dodger' is. One's a plural of a city nickname. The Devil Rays?

They are becoming more and more explicit that creating dossiers on you and graphing your relationships is the whole point. “Agents” indeed. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/07/m...

Former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is taking a try-before-you-buy approach with her new photo-centric AI agent startup Dazzle, a tactic she said is important “for those occasional users or those users who are just trying to see what the service can do at the very beginning.”

Dazzle analyzes users’ personal photos to understand aspects of their lives, such as their family members or interests, and then can take actions like reminding someone that a pair of shoes they recently looked up is on sale online.

It’s a strategy she learned from her early tenure at Google
, before the company built its market-leading online ad platform.

It's pretty remarkable that the most famous guy in the world, the richest guy in the world and the most powerful guy in the world are all the exact same kind of pathetic loser

Also i was really really scared of vincent price's laugh in "Thriller," so much so that my old man dubbed the laugh out when he made a tape of the record for me. That sounds sweet, so I should also say he dubbed it *into* my tapes (raffi, richard scarry storybooks, madonna, whatever) for a few years

i thought of that, and it's probably part of the story, but i went and counted - montreal has had 11 managers since 2011. dc has had 10, colorado has had 10, the earthquakes have has 12

it's really bizarre how many of MLS' most successful managers come through Montreal, one of the league's least functional organizations
