There’s a dude on my plane furiously texting with ChatGPT.

After slogging through Ken Burns, Death By Lightening really hits the spot.

Holy crap you guys, this book is 🔥

Do you ever not think about the B-52s for a while and then remember to think about them again and be like, damn.

My dishwasher broke so I’m shopping for a newer model. Now we have to deal with bullshit like this. WTF is “AI Intelligent Wash” doing in my dishwasher. How about we just concentrate on making shit work instead of making it dumber and shittier with useless robot shit.

Hey, tech bros: You know what would be really helpful? Instead of asking us if we’d like to enable AI on every platform, perhaps add a feature so we can disable AI for incoming messages.

I long for the days of typos and half-baked thoughts.

I’m sorry if I owe you an email.

That Ken Burns is two thirds through this series and only in 1777 feels very much like the pace I teach my survey.

Would like to thank whoever first tossed a scrap of food to a wolf. Really can’t imagine how I’d be getting by if you hadn’t taken that first step.

If you haven’t noticed, we have our hands full at home at the moment.

Still thinking about Ken Burn first episode. Certainly seemed like hasty coverage to get to the war part. Lexington and Concord took up a lot of time. He clearly likes the fighting. Kind of confirms what I've been mulling over about this particular 250: It's going to be an especially macho one.

That was such an unfair quoting of Patrick Henry. Like Patrick Henry on a liter of NyQuil PM 😴

Ken Burns should have let me narrate. I’d do it just like I teach my classes: Gimme four shots of espresso and let’s goooooo!

I just find Peter Coyote’s narration so boring.

Damn. My American Revolution class next semester is already full with a wait list. Is, like, something going on in 2026?

Normally, I don't offer extra credit. But this year, I told the students they could make up one missed class by visiting a historic site, museum, monument, or public space with some connection to the class. They have to write up their reactions and send a selfie to prove they were really there.

I honestly don’t know how anyone could survive this politically unless they were irredeemably corrupt, calloused beyond redemption, ethically degenerate, surrounded by slathering, craven enablers who lack any moral compass, and blindly propped up by mouth-breathing dipshits. Oh wait…

Same vibes.

I used to judge when undergrads would show up to class in pajamas. Now I’m just jealous.
