What if I told you that as a woman with a naturally curly/wavy/wild hair pattern, I am totally uninterested in doing 273967 intense steps of esoteric hair care in order to attempt to coax my hair into completely perfect, frizz free ringlet curls? Like. Not all curly hair is

When I was a promising young scholar doing sociology research, I helped organize a database about 1960s/70s protests and riots. Some themes in the newspapers: consistently blaming outside agitators, and the risk of inadvertent escalation once law enforcement is on the scene.

my contribution to the bear vs. man discourse is to note that when we were camping outside of Jasper, the camp host posted signs that a bear had been sighted in camp, but when we asked about us, told us "he's just a little guy and he won't bother anyone." Canadians are chill.

Broke: bear or man? Woke: moose or man? Bespoke: bear or moose? 🫎 🐻🍁

The books in this series are cutely pocket-sized, so I suppose this officer is about the size of a garden gnome.

One of the odder things about the Tencent Three-Body is the point where the heroes figure out the reporter girl stopped by a pharmacy, which the subtitles call a...CVS. Receipts from here to Trisolaris, presumably.

I don't know but we watched ET with the kids and in the 1980s we knew how to film things in the dark so they could still be seen.

The flattening of all prose into management-speak will be the lasting legacy of ChatGPT.

We may be overlooking the obvious explanation that the Vanity Fair McCarthy piece was an ordinary essay fed to generative AI.

The reason Whedon sounds "hacky" is that the teenagers he wrote for in the 90s are now in their forties and fifties. We're old. Our slang isn't hip, bruh. MCU isn't his fault.

ChatGPT told me students that "to be or not to be" and "life is a dream" is about how exciting and imaginative life can be! (Qtd. De Unamuno, Tragic Sense of Life, so, uh, odds that they've understood the reading ain't great.)

In this holiday season, I want to share this reminder: Be grateful you still have a job and that your department hasn’t been merged with philosophy yet. Oh sorry, make that sociology, we killed the philosophy department as a gift to the provost last Christmas.

Spill the T, girl, about that sigma bro with level 9 rizz

Seems important that in Fahrenheit 451, books were still “available” in single-paragraph summaries—“read Hamlet in five minutes!”—but the books themselves had been banned for being too difficult. Tech boosters see a warning and think it’s an instruction manual.

An SAT score is how an underprivileged bright kid at a noname public gets noticed by a top school that knows the names of only private academies.
