(brainwave) if you are trying to teach STEM majors why it is important to edit their work, a famously fruitless task, do not call it editing; call it refactoring

Thank you, but it's the Post. We should just assume everything in it is lies and propaganda.

I'm on @mattseybold.bsky.social's American Vandal podcast. This was a fun one: www.theamericanvandal.com/p/vectoralis...

The anti-data center movement is like "I don't want to pay more money for a thing that will not benefit me at all and will actively make my life measurably worse in a bunch of ways" and the pro-data center movement is like "We want it to be illegal for you to not like us."

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

The day has finally arrived when I am not cited in a critical media theory book but my nephew is. 🖤

It is actually pretty funny to me how many people had leftist/centrist flavored anti-DEI takes in the chamber and now, despite everything, have to keep pushing the narrative because their book is only coming out now.

Summer reading: I love this memoir-cum-story of a critic's origins by Brian Dillon. It's a book about grief and love and bewilderment--the best kind of book, in short! Comes out this fall from @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social

Trump’s extended posting spree yesterday suggests that he’s literally *psychotic.* But the press is too terrified or timid to report that.

The cross-platform enshittification of search functionality is such an infuriating exercise of authoritarian creep. They would like to kill the inclination to find information & enforce satisfaction with be fed information.

Conceptual scholarship project. Take the LLM hallucinated reference with the most intriguing title and actually write it.

The picture is 7 years old. Took it while waiting for my orchi consult.

One of the musicians who worked on instrument building and played in the touring band transitioned.

The "brow" language came from phrenology, which is enough reason to ditch it.

My landlord has the door repainted pretty much every week. Girl, this is Bushwick. People come on *walking tours* to see the graffiti around here.

For many years, people didn’t randomly film others in public—not because we didn’t have the technology, but because the social contract said you didn’t do that. That’s why Meta is going full court press on their PR and celebrity endorsements. They remember how people ran google glass outta town.
