Thinking a lot about Granny Weatherwax in Carpe Jugulum a lot this past week again:
‘No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”

This has become such a battle in meetings and I expect this fall to be an absolute hot mess.

We don't need verbatim transcripts and likely incorrectly summarized "notes" all the time.

I am disappointed they didn't title this "You're Not Thinking Out Loud"

Lately, when he's feeling energetic, my husband will say he is "full of bees." I told him that the saying is "full of beans," but according to him, that doesn't make sense. Just now he is attempting to do a task he's put off for a year because he "has the bees" to do it.

Key findings include: “The NYT’s reporting is disproportionately influenced by the perspectives of individuals within the commercial technology industry. Specifically, the breakdown of individuals mentioned and quoted focuses on individuals working at commercial technology organizations.”

I'm reading Katie Porter's memoir and I ran into the reminder that an org called "Future Homemakers of America" was definitely a thing when I was in high school. Apparently it's slightly rebranded fcclainc.org but I wonder if the trad-stuff is leading to a resurgence of interest?

I was recently talking to someone who made the point that faculty seem excited about AI so they could stop paying or GAs. It made me really mad at my peers.

Dear phone alert news stories: "Man attends concert" is not breaking news Particularly when he has attended the same concert in several other cities/countries and I have not opened any of those stories to read either. Please recalibrate.
