Weirdly, this is all part of a 50-year-long plan to get their parents back together

"Under the law, transgender people writing about their gender identity online could face 20 years in prison and a $100,000 fine."

Welcome to Nazi Germany. Or, considering Nazi Germany took inspiration from the US, welcome home, US fascism.
Michigan anti-porn would criminalize ASMR, written erotica, and even nonsexual depictions of trans people

“when a cancelled performer reenters” — now wait just a second babe!!! What does cancelled mean and what does reenters mean. Let’s think mama
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Can confirm, great thread
I have been reading all the "students these days" threads from various sides and I have an essay's worth of thoughts -- there's a lot of complexity and heterogeneity that is hard to communicate on social media. There are a couple of things I will say here though. 1/

Financial precarity. Yes university students have always been living on their last 20 bucks, but the number of students I talk to now who have *multiple* jobs in addition to being fulltime students, some of whom are taking care of family members' survival needs as well as their own, is shocking. 5/

This discomfort from profs is largely what causes the "students are bad now" discourse. It's an educators' job to adjust to the clientele and teach

(this thread seems good although I haven't finished yet)
Engaging my students for a three-hour seminar has never been easy for me -- I had to learn how to do it, and now I do feel like I am having to learn how to do it all over again with this cohort. That is one of those complicated topics, but one factor I don't see mentioned enough is... 4/

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Went on a couple dates with a girl who had the same birthday as me. I don't think this was it but the date we learned we had the same birthday was our last one 👀
Serious inquiry, because I’ve heard differing opinions on this.

Would you all date someone with the same birthday as you ? Why or why not ?

Yeah dude we're all depressed and tired of being under the oppression of capitalism. Professors are too tired and sad to update syllabi & lessons to meet the strengths/weaknesses of a new generation of students, and students are too tired and sad to prepare for a system already failing them
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
