@AcStaples @MattZeitlin Yup. Gave a seminar decades post-PhD at my alma mater. Over lunch, my host puzzlingly asked: what student surprised you most? you're proudest of what? oddest request from admin? Wove my answers into a great intro.

@MattZeitlin I've been asked to do this short introductory speech before; when possible, I like to share it in advance with the speaker, and then ask about their current work. And then I ask about sports teams, or pets, particularly if they are American.

One thing that must really mess with your head is being a famous academic and being invited to speak all over the place and getting five minute introductions listing all your accomplishments every time you do

@VlynnQ @KeruboSk Gen X if listening to music had to flip or change the album or cassette repeatedly, and play loud enough to drown out the typewriter. Piss off all your roomies. Once drafted, cut and paste with actual scissors and scotch tape. Re-type. Mark-up. Type again. Also for an A-.

@KeruboSk Gen X hand-wrote the same essay in a black and white marbled notebook on the way to school the day it was due and got an A. We invented spell check for y’all. You’re welcome.

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

@moorehn Yup, having smart kids around to maintain an academic reputation is what scholarships are for.

I don’t think enough emphasis is being placed on the fact that the students at ODU literally BEAT the Muslim shooter to DEATH with their bare hands and whatever else they had available to them. If that doesn’t show you how fatigued we are..,

Se hizo una convocatoria pública para que todos los trombonistas de Nueva York llevaran su instrumento y despidieran a Willie Colón hoy, a la salida de su féretro de la Catedral de San Patricio, donde se celebró una misa en su honor. Mira el resultado:

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

As with Jared Kushner's "best-selling" book in 2022, let's bear in mind how easy it is to buy books or movie tickets on-line, in bulk. Movie e-tickets don't even need to be pulped.

Sometimes a student in one of my fiction writing classes will come see me during office hours and inform me they’re going to be a novelist. I always ask the same question: “Who are your favorite authors?” An alarming number of students can’t name a single novelist. Not one.

NYC saw a significant reduction in water usage throughout the five boroughs during the Super Bowl’s #BadBunny halftime show yesterday, but in the 15 minutes right after the show ended, there was a spike in usage equivalent to 761,719 toilets flushing across town.#SBLX

The half time show showed the importance of walkable mixed use neighbourhoods. House, bodega, nail salon, Ricky Martin… all in walkable distance.
