It’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.

I love critical theory, I love seminars, I love reading groups, I love universities as public goods, I love historiography of disciplines and knowledge itself, I love difficulty and difficult questions, and I love the humanities being human. And that's the hill I die on.

um, actually, "artificial intelligence" is 4000 years old. it was invented in mesopotamia in the bronze age, it's called "writing," and it has been autonomously manipulating humans for evil purposes ever since

The median academic is actually just a perfectly normal person. They teach nursing at the University of Central Arkansas.

Picture perfect ex. of the sociopathic intellectualizing of harming others, the glee of impunity and power to flip it so one is the victim of harm rather than its engine. So rampant in these wretched departments (+why Tár is prob the best movie on intellectual culture ever made!)

because incels don't want sex, they want what sex represents to them, namely acceptance and worth.

At Meta you get to take "re-charge" every five years. It's effectively a 1 month sabbatical. Just took mine (after 6+ years). Best perk ever. I was trying to think the last time I have gone 1 month without a job and I think it was summer after 6th grade. It's been some 25+ years. I cannot overstate how good it felt. Anyways, back to building! Tons of cool stuff in the pipeline.

Pretty sure this ad belongs on the « heteropessimism » syllabus. There are some deep chasms of loneliness, contempt and laziness indicated here that digital personal assistants can only fill in a « Pyrrhic victory » sense.

I love how TSA rules are different at every airport and they look at you like you're a fucking idiot when you don't speak their regional dialect of security theater.

The smartphone really revolutionized the waiting room. Oh I get 20 minutes to look at my phone? Don’t mind if I do. The only problem is sometimes when I’m looking at my phone at home my home starts to feel like a waiting room and I realize it is and I’m just waiting to die
