I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

The reason I care about accessible classrooms is because I fucking care about my students, overall. The reason I worry about them misusing gAI instead of actually doing the work they're supposed to is because I care about students. Both these can co-exist without me being some kind of cop.

One of the owners told me that they get really excited when people from out of town order one of their signed books. It makes them feel loved. Don't you want to love one of our great independent bookstores?

It's the end of June and I am just barely (not) catching up on administrative things from last semester. Can I have an extra summer, after my catch up summer, to actually do some science please? 🧪 And no, it's not a good sign that I'm asking for time to do more work instead of take a vacation.

Stumbled on a really great review of Witch King from back in 2023. I don't think I saw it at the time, but because of the cancer diagnosis and all the travel when the book came out, that time is mostly a blur. everybookadoorway.com/intimate-maj...

Oh hey, I am once again going to talk about lack of distress tolerance, specifically for shame, and how it ties together AI, the “male loneliness epidemic,” Trumpism, and yes, people’s indignation that anyone might think they’re a bad person for continuing to buy Harry Potter merch.

Chuck Tingle@chucktingle.bsky.social · 4mo ago

whenever folks talk about harry potter and separating artist from art they always have this indignant 'OH SO IM A BAD FOR BUYING THESE BOOKS?' but thats not the real issue. the reality is that many will BELIEVE you are bad, and that is VALID. its not your choice what others think of you

When radioactivity was discovered, there was a rush to market for all sorts of radioactive consumer goods. There were water jugs made out of uranium glass, for example. I think about that a lot these days whenever I see AI products being marketed to consumers.

For two decades, "social media" meant a specific setup: users produced content, content circulated through social ties, platforms extracted value from mediating this. Networked publics, digital trace data, platformization — a generation of research rested on that configuration.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

Everyone should hear this: it is ALWAYS a privilege and a treat for professors to hear from former students and trainees. I love to hear what you have been up to since you were in my lab, class, whatever.
