If you were a user or admirer of NOAA’s amazing climate.gov website - which has had all the good stuff (e.g., actual data and climate monitoring indices) removed by government - some web and data gurus/guerrillas are about to launch a recreation at climate.us. Follow @climate.us for launch updates.

I’m a professor, and the semester begins on Tuesday. Part of my job is to prepare 18-22 for the world and their future. And honest to God - looking at the chaos, the cruelty, the insanity - I don’t know how to do that part of the job anymore. #AcademicSky

Everything is bleak. I’m not spending money, so I’m sewing my own clothes, and they’re ugly (haha), and now I’m shouting this into the void as if any of my wildly pathetic concerns even matter.

Critical thinking is emphasized in public schools which is why they dismantled the Dept. Of Education and are pushing vouchers. Go after the Republicans, the media, and megachurches.

This summer, I started watching the cost of my French perfume and French face lotion. Both went up by $40 two months ago. Yeah, I won’t be buying either anymore.

This is already happening in rural areas, where religious schools are popping up next to public schools. Kids get church release time, and they skip science class. This has been happening for years, but we’re fly-over areas that America ignored.

Minnesota people go outside when it’s 40 below and blizzarding or when tornado sirens are blaring and twisters are touching down. They won’t stay home out of fear today, trust me on this.

Property on rural MN lakes went way up during Covid. Metro people making 2X (or more) the salaries of rural residents bought up the lakeshore (for remote work or Airbnbs). It made buying lake property unaffordable for those of us who work here. It still annoys me.

Yes, because Thomas’ corruption, Alito’s distain for our flag, and Kavanaugh’s “I like beer,” is because the kids don’t know civics. Oh, the “wink, wink, thanks for your help” was about the kids, too. Teach this: the Supreme Court ain’t so supreme.

There are ways to discourage students from using generative AI, and there are many students who don’t use it. There are some who use it regardless of the consequences. The biggest issues for faculty: time and morale.
SKBots (@skbots.bsky.social) reply parent
Another unintended consequence of AI cheating: faculty feel demoralized.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
