@anecdotal My twenty-something kids can't stand that their parents are using it. Not quite 70, but closer to that than we are to their ages :-)

Best interview answer I ever got was from a Bostonian. “I don’t think this will be a problem, but I will never root for the Yankees.”

Boomer lady on my flight was talking to some guy about how she doesn’t like New England because “the mayor of New York City is ruining the country” (NY isn’t even part of NE lol) and multiple people on the plane started booing her LMAOOOO

@offshorebeacon @CliftonSellers Highly agree about working in restaurants, but disagree with the blanket against higher ed, we will continue to need smart, ethical, teachers, dentists, veterinarians, …, and thousands of job categories on the cusp of invention. Higher Ed doesn’t have to mean high price.

@ryancraigap Following you for years, maybe decades and this was the first time I clicked through. glad I did, this was a great read.

Universities and their related systems are not immune from the greater economic forces. Corporations, non-profits, and the public sector are all riding the same shock waves. While this post is signal, not noise, it is also not in a vacuum.

Clemson is $1.5B in debt. Syracuse is closing or pausing 93 programs, UNC-Chapel Hill plans to cut spending by $89M over 3 years. Duke recently let 600 employees go in a $350M budget cut. Indiana public colleges announced a plan to eliminate or merge 580 programs statewide.

That is because BK fries are not as good as McDonalds.

Here’s the thing about academics. They complain about low pay, and yet they shop at Whole Foods. I’ve yet to see an academic eat Burger King. A grad student from another university once asked to meet with me at a conference. I take the guy to Burger King, and he wouldn’t order.

Your boss might question your level of influence and aspirations, if you are struggling to pile up wins, you might want to measure fragrance choices on the things you value.

[Raven @Ravenismeee]

Does your boss have the right to tell you that your perfume is too strong and it’s offensive to others in the office and you should stop using it ?

It was a pleasure talking with @amdulin about where higher education is headed.

At its core, @umdglobalcampus has always focused on meeting learners where they are. That same mindset is shaping how we approach AI. As AI reshapes learning and work, the priority is strengthening the human skills that matter most: judgment, communication, creativity, and discernment.

@nonregemesse I want a series from Deborah’s perspective, please. I’m not looking forward to becoming a widow, but glad to know I have a new option.

@zuess05 Do things that *integrate* AI but will not be replaced by it. Being a veterinarian will be a win for a while. A dentist. An oral surgeon. etc.
Also - look for areas of current shortages, for example, healthcare. A nurse can get a job in a hot minute.
So many options.

Don’t reinstitute the draft, but if you do, draft everyone, the men, the women, the nonbinaries and the trans folx.

JUST IN: Eligible males aged 18-25 will be automatically registered for US military draft starting this December.

I love when my fandoms crash together! Listening to @PhishRadioSXM and @imseanavery comes on to tell me that he is a phish phan and wrote a hockey romance novel! Off to buy now.

[cyborgoddess @cyborgoddess]

@johnkonrad Congratulations! The right fit is better than the right name, so your daughter's preferences matter when it comes to retention. You fear paying for "woke" but if daughter comes home thinking the same as when she left, you've wasted your $. Look for critical thinking skills!

I’m loving following Mark’s thinking here. This is where the futurists may be right about intentionally building your trust network. What I think Mark may be arguing is that he trusts the human in the loop.

After reading all the posts/articles about how agents will take over the world, and I think they will have an impact. I'm updating my position to reduce their importance for communications outside an organization.

Why ?

Spam filters and filter agents.

I had Claude write an agent thqt shows me all the email newsletters I get that have an unsubscribe button.

Takes me two seconds to click the check boxes for the ones I don't like and unsubscribe

I've also started getting way too many "I saw your linkedin profile and you are a good candidate " lol

Those emails shouldn't get to me. They will get caught up in future spam filters. Yes there will be agents who say they can bypass them and they will battle it out. The same with mobile calls

But I think there will be so many junk emails and calls, Gmail and voice carriers will promote the fact that they can stop the agent email assault we all are starting to face.

Won't that undermine all those "marketing departments or companies in a "bottle" agents ?

I think it will. And so many Agentic companies built for external communications won't get past those spam filters, it just might require us janky humans to write emails or a lot of white listing efforts by us humans to make decisions on what to let through

Thoughts ?
