Why is Kirstin Gillibrand on this list? Why are any of these dems on this list?
Congrats!
you can also tell this is a man who has never faced real consequences for his actions.
This story is wild. I have lots of questions about DOGE, but also the person appointed to head the NEH.
Maybe Iranian hackers will render Canvas unusable. www.ft.com/content/09fa...
how do we find the wealthy benefactor? Or maybe we all just start playing the lotto?
How can we organize Rutgers reunions so we can have these convos in person, but with wine and beer? (and I don't mean conferences). I need more of this content in my life.

Joan and Matt at the same time?
I'm thinking about swinging by the conference in Buffalo in June. I want you to introduce me to one of your fellow panelists!
nah, she's just going to get promoted to a job that doesn't exist
but hey, this was only 20 years ago. I'm not still mad or anything.
Mostly I was mad that every single modern Europeanist (except John) was on leave while I was doing coursework but somehow they wrote the questions. How is that reasonable. But also, I wanted to take classes with them & didn't get to!
Bonnie also thought she was being helpful but gave me a terrible question I couldn't answer.
Oh, you got to be in Bonnie's office? I was in the basement in (I think) Paul Hannebrink's office with no windows and it was terrible. Michael was much smarter about the whole thing.
that global/comp exam served me well. I wrote mine on empire, anthropology, and the "sciences."

Highway sign in Boston. How can we make this slogan viral?

oh 100% ... and you never get that kind of free time to do something comparable ever again (says woman trying to master entirely new historiographies for book #2). And the idea that AI could do this for me is laughable.
My comps are the #1 thing about my PhD program I hated. One of my minor field exams was great - I wrote a 15 page essay that I have since used for innumerable lectures. The other one was a gigantic waste of time and gave me nothing to work with for teaching or my diss. I have never gotten over it.
So Claude used outdated data -- from over a decade ago -- to tell the US to strike a school full of children. Yep, yep, yep, this is definitely a product we should be allowing in all of our classrooms.
they also sterilized everything with bleach and included it in "sanitized" drinking water
it's not surprising. I'm just mad that supposedly smart people at my uni keep saying stupid stuff like this and expecting us to think they're smart and thinking about it in the right way. Also, I don't think it's comparable to the industrial revolution. AT ALL.
I was told the other week that AI was going to be just like "the industrial revolution" and that Claude was revolutionizing research. A couple of days later, Claude was being used to bomb a girls' school in Iran. I guess that's the Industrial Revolution we all have to look forward to?
because we have no AV, my whole panel made handouts. So at least we'll have those and we can talk about my sexy image of a nun and iron lung. I'm selling this already, right?
