#ChatGPT is patient and kind; it does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. ChatGPT bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things

The biggest bummer about students using AI is that AI provides answers. But what an aspiring academic needs to learn is to ask questions.

There’s a lot to say, but I want to remark on how committed Jonathan was to his writing practice. Academic writers get a bad rap, but J. handled complex technical subjects with confidence and grace. He loved the craft and worked at it, intentionally and hard; and he inspired others to do the same.
Earlier today, a group of students received word that Jonathan Sterne entered hospice care yesterday following his ongoing battle with cancer. I think there's a few of his colleagues and former students that follow me on here (he's also currently my phd advisor), more info will be coming soon

I have changed the reading for my class next week to Jonathan Sterne writing on Hearing, to celebrate this groundbreaking thinker at this heartbreaking juncture.

I wonder if the Scholars at Risk program by the German Academic Exchange Service will soon include American scholars at risk of deportation too. I think it should.
Proud to open the first day of a 3-day workshop @uni-konstanz.de of our Hilde Domin Training Programme for a cohort of over 50 scholars at risk, funded by the @daadworldwide.bsky.social - a diverse group, predominantly from Afghanistan, but also Myanmar, Iran, Belarus, Turkey, Yemen, Russia, Sudan

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this

This is of course about American politics. But the poster’s feminist vibes make me think that women know all about the pressure to resign. So go ask them how to deal with it.

If you are a jazz musician and anyone ever gives you shit for not having a zillion jazz standards memorized, just inform them that Herbie Hancock read sheet music when he performed "Killer Joe" and "Fly Me To The Moon" at the 2025 Grammys and nobody gave a shit.

Can’t wait to read this exciting new book and to learn how the mixing of archival sources and ethnographic interviews plays out as this also applies to my own research in neighbouring Myanmar.
My new book, "Bangkok After Dark: Maurice Rocco, Transnational Nightlife, and the Making of Cold War Intimacies" is now available for pre-order!! It comes out in May.

You'll love reading it, I believe!

Use code E25TAUSG and it'll be about $21 + shipping.
