Will continue to bang this drum: this is the system university admins are cramming into every aspect of education. This is the system we are told “isn’t going anywhere” so we all have to adjust to it.
New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work

Working on a website rebuild. Just discovered that when we migrated the many dozens of stories I've written, the em dashes all got turned into hyphens. HYPHENS

God give me the strength to resist taking an inordinate amount of time to fix every last one of them

If you want to buy gifts for a kid in your life, may I recommend sending some ideas to the parents and saying "any of these work?" or just guessing and providing a gift receipt? I have my own shopping to do please don't make me do yours too 😢

Enshittification! "Rather than remember the recipe, we just remember how to Google it. For this to be a successful way to remember, the sources and means of access to information must remain reliable."

I have lost my mind and am considering bringing children (pre-K and second grade) to New York City to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. And it's all because of this freakin' school worksheet

I love him. “The first time I caught up to [ICE], I could tell that they already knew who I was. They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ‘Ha ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!’”

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

This was an interesting one to work on and not just because we got to print the word "enshittification" a bunch of times
Platform decay — that is, the process of tech companies making their products steadily worse over time — is the cognitive and moral equivalent of causing minor brain damage to millions of people, writes Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy Edward A. Lenzo: ow.ly/L3gF50Xroyf
