was the break up between Cellino and Barnes so ugly and petty that every billboard in town with one has a billboard with the other right behind it?

Tonight I got drunk at D&D and dropped “LairBnB” and felt really proud about that one.

Got the email about our faculty development workshop and it is about Gen AI … AGAIN. Like, sure, it’s a big deal. But if I’m completely honest, I am so bored of talking about ChatGPT and its implications for writing instruction. It’s the only thing anyone has talked about for three or four years.

Sometimes I say things to students and I’m like, ooh that’s good I should write that down.
Today a student was frustrated I was asking tough clarifying questions about their research paper and i said:
“I’m not trying to take the wind out of your sails; I’m trying to help you build a better boat.”

Every time a student in my professional writing class uses simply “Experience” as a resume header, a fairy loses its wings.
And by fairy, obviously, i mean me. And by wings i mean mind.

Just the LEVELS of stupid - not only is it clear they don’t / won’t understand science and things like mouse models, but the rhetoric is insane:
“The Fake News losers at CNN tried to fact check it, but President Trump was right (as usual)”
—on the official White House press site?? Worst timeline.

Trump Decried Millions Spent ‘Making Mice Transgender.’ It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
The president's address to Congress included a line designed to go viral in the right-wing misinformation machine

PLEASE READ BOOKS — ebooks, books on tape, whatever! But please!! (also amusing comments)

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place):
1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

It’s always so cool when you start hearing an artist you’ve liked for a while on the radio, not in a hipster way but in a “glad they’re getting their flowers” sort of way.
But sad when the radio edit is a little silly. 😅

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Why aren’t more Dems standing up? Why is there no visible pushback except from AOC? Why is she seemingly the only one with a spine?
You’re worried about “getting primaried” if you push back, well guess what - if you don’t push back “there’s not going to be a primary, you stupid [spineless dems]”

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Welp, my Instagram is officially gone. I feel okay about this. I look forward to hopefully reclaiming some time not doomscrolling anymore.

finally, watching drag race down under 4… can Michelle not use some of the shows catchphrases for copyright reasons? Or is she actually trying to make “let your inner light shine through” happen??

Okay, hot take:
Where are the DC gays with Grindr screenshots from the inauguration on Monday? You know there’s tea, and I think we’re past the point of respecting the closets of hypocrites.
