Some in #academia favor teaching students to use AI to produce essays (etc), arguing that the point of comp classes (and the like) is teaching the student to create a certain kind of product. This is not bc of AI - it is the next (il)logical step in Higher Ed's Fetishization of the Thing. (1) 🧵

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.
Great work everyone.

I think my all time favorite reply on Twitter was when I said French cooking is basically just adding lots of butter to everything, and they replied that I had finally gone "mask off" with my open hated of the white race.
I think about that guy sometimes and his strange ideas on race and butter.

when conservatives used liberal as a snarl world, liberals who were terrified of being conflated with leftists would always come back with "no, 'liberal' just means we care about diversity and democracy and civil rights" as if THAT wasn't exactly what the conservatives were objecting to

DeviantArt returns a lot of AI generated nonsense for every search I make nowadays. But a side effect DA being glutted with AI art is that I'm now seeing a lot - A LOT - of examples of what are clearly hyperspecific fetishes. Not gross ones, mind you, just deeply outre.

The best thing about philosophy is that all the great philosophers in history were basically wrong about almost everything, so there's really not that much pressure to be right.

i don't know if cis people understand that the dominant feelings toward their bodies that most trans ppl grew up with are pervading disgust and horror.
it's a hard habit to break once we transition. it's why so many of us keep finding flaws in ourselves even after becoming who we were meant to be.
