Meanwhile this is what non-Jews will be learning, courtesy, in this case, of the Know Your Enemy podcast. Alternate history really. And one that recasts historical arguments in terms of present day ones. The Good Jew/Bad Jew dichotomy immutable, historical. So dispiriting.

The kind of spam you get when you're reading Antkind. Invisible movies you say? I know all about those!

My cat food prep area is beginning to resemble Andy Dick’s desk on Newsradio

The character Andy Dick plays on Newsradio sits at a desk behind a small laptop and a row of medicine and supplement bottles. Another character, played by a now-notorious podcaster looks on.

And in Romania a certain percentage of people are convinced that “Jews from Israel” are taking over and depriving the population. A perfect circle. (Attached is a google translated comment from one of Romania’s charming TikTok videos of a hardcore granny hulling wheat.)

Translated text of a TikTok comment on Romania’s national account.

@Alexandra: JEWS FROM ISRAEL COME TO THE JEWISH THEATER FROM BUCHAREST AND LEARN THE ROMANIAN LANGUAGE, LAW, PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION TO TOTALLY TAKE OVER ROMANIA AND WE ARE GETTING POORER BY THE DAY. ONLY PSD AND PNL ALLOWED THIS.

I just listened to a podcast episode in which the host and guest blithely admit to cheating in college and high school. I mean we had to! They weren’t teaching us properly! And anyway, there’s no focus on learning, it’s all on getting good grades in order to get a good job! It’s the culture’s fault!

Students are using ChatGPT for everything. Parents are freaking out and the media is calling it the end of education as we know it. But are students really outsourcing their minds to machines? Are we witnessing the collapse of critical thinking, or are we just afraid of what change actually looks like?
In this episode, I'm joined by journalist Kat Tenbarge to break down the rise of ChatGPT in schools. We talk about whether school still serves the purpose it claims to and what does academic integrity mean in a world where Al can be used for everything?

All this and the Dutch Elm Disease is attacking the trees in the park too?

Last week, the old elm tree at the north end of the Central Lawn was removed due to significant decay and safety concerns from falling limbs. What we found concerned us: the tree showed signs of Dutch Elm Disease (DED)…

“I have trained all the love in my body into energy, and all my hate, which is also a great force, I have trained into thought.” (from Leonora Carrington’s The Stone Door)

The passage in full reads:

“I am an old woman,” the Artisan told her, “and though I have neither chick nor child I have mothered many thousands of lost souls. I can hear many things and my eyes are sharp. Even the life beating inside a stone is audible to me and that is a gift. I have trained all the love in my body into energy, and all my hate, which is also a great force, I have trained into thought. My womb is no larger than a grain of rice because its powers have all been used in discovery. I say discovery because creation is the finding of something which always existed, existed in a different form or forms but was nevertheless already there, whole or in small pieces waiting to come into being.”

Oh I see. This person was simply paraphrasing Columbia’s former dean to show that there could not be anti-Jewish sentiment in a place such as Columbia University, a place which has such a high percentage of Jews. Well played.
