Is every university's AI "taskforce" in reality a naked boosterism committee like mine. Rarely felt so demoralized by the mismatch of what I thought Higher Ed stood for and what I see endorsed and accepted (and, far worse, ommitted!) in these reports, surveys, guidelines, etc. Pathetic.

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

getting fired from your job because some dipshit student who missed their calling in the Stasi filmed you talking about gender in a class about gender
I agree but this case is even worse: it appears that the detailed course description* explicitly mentions that it will explore how gender and sexuality are depicted in YA literature.
*As the reddit poster mentions, there's some confusion and possible misreporting of which course she's teaching.

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

Speedrunning music analysis: Silksong edition. Here's a reduction and beginnings of a neo-Riemannian account of the music for the first legit challenging miniboss (Skull Ant) and subsequent area (Hunter's March). Wonderful music from Christopher Larkin!

Romina is down! An exhausting fight and one that wasn’t particularly clean this time, but very satisfying. I think she’s a great and really fun boss. What were your thoughts @haydnpuff.bsky.social?

Neither the hardest nor most time-consuming boss from Elden Ring but my vote for the worst on an RL1. I *hated* this fight. Between the horrid summons, teleporting, animation locks after successfully dodging attacks, it drove me crazy. Even this win feels lousy b/c it was so random and unclean.

When a Star Wars TV show is more morally clear-eyed, more willing to call out genocide, than the entire rest of our media landscape.

Episode 8 of Andor season two may be the most powerful, most politically important piece of media I've watched in... I don't know how long. Fighting back tears.

Another one down. Clayman's Harpoon w/ Ice Spear and Godrick's Greatrune. Took forever to reach Phase 2 (hundreds of attempts), but when I finally did, beat her on my first try...

Took more than a week, but I finally got the right combination of RNG, damage optimization, and muscle memory to take this bozo down. @haydnpuff.bsky.social , you'll appreciate this. youtu.be/evlY3AP3tpM?...
