My oven on "proof" does not feel much warmer than the kitchen when I open it . . . Central AC set to 82 F (28 C) to save money, but most of the vents are in the bedroom side of the house. White collar, first-world problem: We do have AC. This weather is dangerous to work in.
“I lost my confidence in my own writing.” When a student sitting on a stage shares this with an auditorium full of adult educators, acknowledging why they stopped using AI in their own school work, it has an impact. Two weeks later and I still remember what it felt like to hear that...
I just listened to this while cooking this afternoon. Now I am going to share it with my department. (the article above, too).

I recently read a book I was reluctant to get into because of its archaic language, and lo and be-fucking-hold, the pleasure of reading won out pretty fast. Reading slowly and effortfully is fun.
Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 3d agoAxios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...
I'm going to keep saying this until it's rote practice: If you are in official connection with let alone in charge of an archive of data, if is your professional & moral responsibility to secure that archive, as a backup or otherwise, against just such an emergency, so we're not Hoping some kid did.
Michael Clemens@mclem.org · yesterdayIncredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

Zohran Mamdani is backing a bill to hold Amazon accountable for exploiting delivery drivers. Now Amazon is launching a $5M lobbying blitz — led by Chuck Schumer's daughter — to crush it. Instead of spending millions on lobbying, Amazon should pay and treat its drivers fairly.

"If we search YouTube for something like “senior health tips,” the AI-generated content far outnumbers anything made by a real human."
Jonathan Jarry@jonathanjarry.bsky.social · 2d agoLast year, I was tipped off to the existence of AI-generated doctors offering misleading health advice on YouTube. I found that many of the studies they cited were made up. Cody Sumter took that ball and ran with it. codysumter.substack.com/p/this-is-me...
on the granular level, pedagogical weirdness as praxis, now and always
Matt Seybold@mattseybold.bsky.social · 2d agoOne of the more insidious ideas being incepted via right & center attacks on HigherEd is that college experiences are homogenous. The heterogeneity of the US system is one of its greatest strengths. Their goal of homogenization is served by an illusion of homogeny, just homogeny of the wrong sort.

I dreamed it was September. The oak and the pine were already parting ways, slowly. I turned to find you where leaves lay on the pillow.
