Gen AI filmes kan worke now by cause thei leech glamor from livinge actors wyth storyes, backgroundes, problems, dreames. Yf Gen AI doth take over for filme, we will be caught yn an eternal present wher the same dead famous faces saye inane lynes for profit. Lyfe ys art. Art ys lyfe. Fuck Gen AI.

Folk thynke that innovacioun yn academia will come from technologye. It will come ynstead from settinge asyde olde assumptions and hierarchies and givinge people more chances to trulye and radicallye thynke wyth each othir wyth no specific outcome yn mynde.

You knowe the coole thinge about Gen A.I.?

Sounds like a mash up of “Father Brown”, “Rosemary & Thyme”, and “Midsomer Murders” and good luck to the wildflowers

Got caught up in a really good book last night. I didn't stop coloring till 2 o'clock this morning.

In front of every VA this weekend.

Anne Frank wrote these words in 1943 while hiding, while families were being pulled apart. She wasn’t describing chaos. She was describing process. Normalized cruelty. Systems doing what systems do when nobody stops them.

This is history as a warning. #DefundICE

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

It was the Dunning of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

Excellent and empoweringe educacioun will nevir be "efficient" yn the waye that a businesse doth stryve to be "efficient." It ys the heighte of knavery to use one standarde to measure everye human activitye. Businesses are ther to make profits. Educacioun ys ther to make the future.

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

"Does it hurt?" he asks.
"No, not really." Grandpa replies.
"I mean on the inside. Does it hurt on the inside?"
"It hurts less and less. That's one good thing about forgetting things. You forget the things that hurt too."

I don't know who needs to see this but prioritizing another person's needs over yours won't mean they'll notice and certainly won't mean they'll prioritize yours once theirs are met. It'll just mean their needs were prioritized twice and yours were prioritized never.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal.
