What it is like trying to get advice on academic careers today:
The image shows a screenshot from the newsletter of The Chronicle of Higher Education with links to two articles. The snippet of the first article reads as follows: Pauses in Ph.D. Admissions Are a Blessing in Disguise by Maddalena Alvi, "The overproduction of doctorates in the humanities has ruined the job market." The snippet of the second article reads: There Has Never Been a Better Time to Start a Ph.D. by Ada Palmer, "The work force is a mess. But deep skills will always be in demand."

Doing some work with Poisson Surface Reconstructions today, which means that I am spending a lot of time thinking about this guy.
A picture of "Le Poisson Steve." It is a roughly animated orange fish with big eyes, as well as arms and legs. In the image, Steve has his arms raised and is frowning.

The image is a screenshot from the movie Glass Onion. It shows Helen (played by Janelle Monae) confronting Miles Bron (not pictured, played by Edward Norton) at the climax of the movie, so SPOILER ALERT! After defeating the idiot billionaire Miles, Helen says "Your fuel of the future just barbecued the world's most famous painting, you dumbass" (text shown in the image); this references that a dangerous new technology developed by Miles has just destroyed the Mona Lisa. The text has been altered to read "Your AI just barbecued the US economy, you dumbass."

Happy Saturday!
Afternoon at a coffee shop. In the foreground on a table is a latte, a piece of cake, and an iPad. Behind the table is a window; a calico cat is sleeping in the sun on the other side of the window.

Decided to go poking around IMDB after seeing some news about Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey and was very tickled by this. Accurate...but still funny.
A screenshot of a line from the IMDB page for The Odyssey (2026). It reads Writers: Homer, Christopher Nolan
