“Now, Grammarly has finally addressed the backlash — but not by apologizing, and not by walking the feature back. For now, it will graciously give us the chance to opt-out of something we didn’t know it was doing to begin with.”
Walking through Uptown Charlotte today, a TV broadcaster asked us if we were visiting for the ACC Tournament. And my response was "We're here in a spite of it!"
My mom texted to wish me a happy Mario Day.
I have a PhD. I speak Japanese. And I have read the Wikipedia page for ecology. Sign me up.
My vibe vs the rest of the faculty
And we wonder why TikTokkers so readily accepted ”unalive”
I’m still writing 8am on my checks.
I'm going through the discovery materials for the MLA/AHA/ACLS lawsuit to restore funding to DOGE-canceled NEH grants. The disregard for humanities scholarship and public humanities is just astonishingly stupid. DOGE literally compiled a spreadsheet of "craziest grants."
I saw Hoppers in a screening and believe that it was the finished piece. I found the animals’ message of “well sometimes people build highways that destroy our habitats but we need to be cool with that because we’re all in this together” was a little…odd? But seems like I’m alone in thinking that
Too many MCs, not enough mics.
I'm really into pre-reaction videos. Or, as you might call them: movies.
I'm going to be irresponsible and stay up way past my bedtime to watch the Australian GP tonight.
episode 097
nothing pisses me off more than Raising Canes taking over good real estate near universities. Without fail, crappy chicken replacing cool bars and local spots.
Yes, and it was only just this past Tuesday.

Hey board gamers - your feelings an opinions about games are being turned into slop.
There's a channel called Board Game Critique. All their videos are clearly made with AI. They fess up to this, but they claim that they write their own scripts.
I cannot definitively prove that they don't, but 1/x
I happened to be in downtown SF today, so I tried stopping by the Superhuman AI office to ask about the AI “editor” based on me. Unfortunately just got a very nice office manager who said no one was in.
Lots of games people in Grammarly’s pool too besides me…
I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉
Remember how Joe Rogan was "just asking questions" about trans women and sports and didn't have a problem with trans people otherwise?
He's now a full on anti-trans genocidal fascist.
There is a reason you hold the line at sports.
No more so than the usual high levels. So not sure why it’s kicked in now.
I've had a weird twitching eyelid for a week now and read that caffeine and alcohol might be triggers. Well, I tried abstaining and nothing happened so somebody please find me a pre-ban Sparks.
this multiviewer app seems very cool
Perfect timing for Podcast the Ride's "Alf's Music Career" episode this week
Gonna be $5.50 by the time you get here
When I lived in Lubbock, my dentist always said everything was looking great.
When I moved to Charlotte it was like “oh all your teeth are falling out of your head like a bad dream”
Back in the day, hint lines, guide books, and walkthroughs in magazines were part of the process. Sharing information and playing with your friends was a way to bond with others over games. Thinking that the pleasure of playing adventure games is beating them in 4 hours is a bit shortsighted.
No joke: this song was in my head as I reading this. I’m not sure where I heard it recently but that’s spooky.
You ban be right without being a twat.
episode 045
Ratcheteer on Playdate is good. You should buy this.
Also, @play.date owners, buy @shauninman.com's Laser Sphere, which is to-date my favorite Playdate game.
