I'm already feeling a little bit burnt out after 2 years of teaching those same three classes 10 times a year.

I also want to develop classes that would sound (and would be) fun for students outside of run-of-the-mill introductory classes.

I should also qualify this with the dialectical opposite—I also have some Gen-Z students who are smarter at 19 years old than some of the people who received PhDs in my graduate program.

Make peace with your gods now because it's going to get a lot worse before it gets worse.

Also quite unfortunately, the left is equally as ill prepared to use this to our advantage and seize power from the fascists.

History's echo is reverberating down a very dark, and unending, abyss that is going to lead to very unpleasant, violent, and unstable futures.

Of course, I also record everything (including re-watches, which I don't include in my techo) on Letterboxd.

I'm just very thankful that 98% of my actual department is anti-AI otherwise I'd be job hunting, I think.
