If I'm ever elected to office, I'm going to swear in on a DVD copy of Ken Burns' Baseball
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

Saturday night I was in the car scanning through AM radio looking for any college football game to listen to (found UVA-Duke), but also barely picked up a Windsor, Canada Spitfires junior hockey team game. I've always been amazed how far these signals travel.

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.
