Well, the more vers-bottoms we recruit, the better!

okay let’s see… with the three of us on a rotating schedule… we could each be back at only 33% top, which seems like a decent-ish ratio

At some point I’m going to have to accept that same fate. 🥲

And if this is something the university really thinks the students need to learn about and master, they need to make space (and money) for courses to address it, because writing is far from the only part of academia being affected.

So unless there is something new that actually addresses the issue or a curricular revamp, I am already dreading this workshop.

The students are using it, often poorly. And if they’re using it well enough that I don’t catch you, maybe good for them they understand the tool.
I do not have any space in my syllabus. I canNOT be the class that is responsible for this emergent societal shift.

and it never feels like we get anywhere whenever it comes up. 1/3 of the room says oh no! Everything is ruined! 1/3 says this is cool, we should embrace it! And 1/3 says hold me I’m scared.

admittedly my number was a nonscientific guess, but might be close lol

it’s another case of “gay is so unserious sometimes” — i definitely know what at least 75% of my friends look like naked 😂

So in one MONTH Trump has cost taxpayers DOUBLE that supposed “savings” playing GOLF. These grants are typically paid out over 1-5 YEARS. I really really hate this timeline.

In his first month in office, Trump has made a golf trip every weekend. 9 of his first 30 days have been on the golf course. And well, thanks to inflation, the 2017 cost of $13M is ~$17M in 2025. (31% cum. infl. since 2017
according to bls.gov)

Even if we accept that we call cutting this $8 million in research a “savings” or “efficiency” here’s the 2019 GAO report that shows that his 4 trips to Mar-a-Largo in February and March of 2017 cost *$13 Million Dollars* — $10M in operations costs, $3M in duty costs billed to DOD and DHS.
