Academics are like cats, almost totally worthless and easily distracted by shiny objects.

How has a major beer company not given this dude a lifetime supply of beer yet?!

Yeah, but it's bifurcated. Same as ever, just the cheating method has changed. The bottom half do whatever they have to do to get a C. The top half wants to learn the right way. Life as a teacher gets infinitely better when you stop caring about the bottom half.
I cannot imagine the sheer volume of AI slop that teachers and professors are dealing with right now. Your whole job must be just sifting through this crap. Nightmare.

You cannot comprehend how indoctrinated the youth are until you have a student use a human baby in the womb as an example of a parasitoid in humans.

My wife was speaking remnants of her German knowledge at dinner last night. Toward the end, my youngest son goes "Shreken ze doich" 馃槀

Elon Musk flips a vehicle upside down and everyone claps and cheers. But when I do it, suddenly I'm "recklessly endangering children" and "unfit to be a school bus driver".

Gotta love that in addition to getting screwed by CC companies for transaction fees, we also now lose a few cents of each cash transaction because there are no pennies.

You might think this is a first grader writing "prayers." You'd be wrong. It's a college kid writing "prairies."

One of the greatest tragedies in life is putting the ice cream scopper in the sink, turning on the water, and it hitting just right to shoot back out onto you.

If you want to understand how bad things are in academia, our director of engineering didn't know the difference between Romex and fiber optic wire.

The more I learn about science, the more obvious it is that it's all God's plan. There are too many coincidinces. The amount of "luck" needed for all these things to have occured is improbable.

Gotta love the grout I accidently dropped on the tile and didn't see is like concrete in the presidential bunker but the stuff I purposely fill in might as well be putty.

People don't believe that tech has made their lives better. Dressing people down for opposing data centers is a loser. "We have to beat China!" On what? Online gambling? AI slop memes? YouTube Shorts? Obviously there are bigger issues at work, but hello - bad messaging!
