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.

God I hate the holidays so much. Every year I think I'm doing fine until the first Christmas tree pops up and I become an inconsolable bitch. Truly the worst time of the year.

I cannot wait for the two week malaise between Christmas and New Year. It is the richest time of year for dreaming. Every day is a haze, nights are long and cold. It's the only time I feel my body succumb to what life outside capitalism could be.

It's weird to have a job that mostly asks me to think about specific things, and then when someone asks me a question I say "yes, I have been thinking about that" and they nod and say "good I am glad someone is thinking about this" and that's it that's the job.

I have a type of media I love, and that is anything that opens with a bunch of people stuck in the ice.
