I’ve gone on at length about this, and am working with the many, many others behind the scenes, but if you are alumnae (yes I fempluralized) or simply an admirer of the program, and you care about the future of the program, you might send your notes to the provost’s office. The general idea is that

Axios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...

Axios: AI has become my reading buddy as I've plowed through my summer book list, helping me keep track of plots and characters, unpack themes, and make sense of wordy, old prose.

Why it matters: The way many of us actually read books — a few pages before bed, a chapter at the beach, another on a plane — makes it easy to lose the thread. AI can help you pick it back up without starting over.
📖 I really got into using AI while reading James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." The text was far too dense for casual vacation reading. My first prompt asked:

"I'd like a guide as I read The Last of the Mohicans who can help me understand what I've read and where the story is, without giving spoilers or getting ahead of my progress. Can you do this, chapter by chapter?"
The robot agreed: "Cooper's sentences are long and his diction is archaic."

if there’s anything I would want to drill into the public consciousness it’s that there are almost always like a dozen ways to approach any given problem and some of them will be more effective than others and we have to stop acting like the questions around it are against fixing the issue

I am endlessly fascinated by right wingers' obsession with Sparta. I can understand an initial vibes based appeal I guess - like if you opened the first page of a book on timocracy and were twelve. but the thing about history is you can find out what happened to those guys

There does seem to be a concerted effort by the chuds to make "communism" the threat du jour, out of the blue. I see it coming up a lot in fb memes and things too.

I hate to inflict this man on you, but this is extraordinary in its ignorance of football and the rules of the game, and essentially says he called in a favour from 'Johnny' Infantino to get the suspension overturned. This is genuine disgrace. www.reddit.com/r/soccer/com...

To be honest, I dug the premise of this one - a guy gets out of prison, and numerous people are trailing him for the money he must have somewhere, while some honest stagecoach drivers are caught in the middle.

in general I think popular discourse confuses "vices that were downplayed, excused, or ignored for men's benefit" with "traits that were upheld as masculine virtues" and this phenomenon is part of why: these particular men not only have few if any virtues but single out their vices for broadcasting

Happy Duke day for all who celebrate, which should be all all, but one does have to account for the simpletons & naifs lacking even basic artistic appreciation. youtu.be/YtEV_WYulQA?...

I want fewer apps in my life, not more. The other place still has some critical mass, but there's so much detritus (and worse) in the feed. Can I engineer a switch? We'll see.

I hope this works, it's Alain Guiraudie's 1996 short film AU PIC DE NORE (roughly, AT THE NORE PEAK; Nore being a mountain in the south of France). It's just over a minute long, so you can watch it a lot!
