Sean Rositano is my first cousin once-removed, and I support him wholeheartedly for this position! He will do a great job representing alumni, students, faculty, and Michigan taxpayers.

You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

I miss music journalism
AI-generated music on the pop charts seems like a much bigger deal than the collective lack of reaction seems to suggest?

They have a new book, all the media mafia line up to promote it on their platforms, praise it for bold truths and strong prose, in the knowledge that when it is their turn to get a squeeze, the favor will be reciprocated. It’s all so fucking corrupt.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

People have a good reason to resist acknowledging the male loneliness crisis. They correctly perceive that women are being blamed and told to fix it.

But the real cause is predatory capitalists who profit on keeping men isolated and online.

Don’t blame women for men’s loneliness. Blame capitalism
There’s a lot of money to be made off angry, isolated men

In my opinion, Dr. Drimmer is consistently one of the smartest and most incisive people discussing AI in higher ed right now
What this reveals is that for most people in charge right now “AI” is less useful as a technology than as a piece of language to shift a conversation in whatever direction they need it to go. In one minute it will propel a new economy; in another it’s the reason for a recession.

Signed up for a new fitness center membership yesterday (my first in years), I've got a long way to go but you can't do anything if you don't take the first step
Good morning.

This is your reminder to get to the gym so that you can beat up racists if you have to.

It's my political origin story
i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.
