[Benjamin Myers @BenMyersPoet]

Thinking of starting a poetry journal. Someone either talk me out of it or give me some funding.

@megannn_lynne Which flavor(s)? I'm looking for ideas.

[Tatiana Walk-Morris @Tati_WM]

For the love of God, bring back fact-checkers. Bring back copy editors. Bring back public editors. Bring back standards. Everybody tighten TF up.

Just gave an interview where I argued that even though your university is telling you otherwise, you should NOT use AI to write your grant applications!

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

@Todd_Spence We know what they were drinking.

@MysterySolvents How much time you got?

Buying a book from a Big 5 publisher funds a corporate retreat.

Buying a Maudlin House book funds a writer’s increasingly concerning coffee addiction.

No one at UC asked for this. Stop this shit.

[Tyler Austin Harper @Tyler_A_Harper]

Genuinely, can someone give me the steel man version of the rationale behind the new “give everyone AI” university strategy? What is the theory of the case here? Do universities think it’s sustainable to ask students to pay over $90k per year to cheat their way through college?

[Smitroverse @Smitroverse]

@mrmikeMTL I retired from one.

[Smitroverse @Smitroverse]

@aliner In the latter case, that would certainly add resonance to a crucial scene in Chinatown.

[Smitroverse @Smitroverse]

@Polymarket That's just silly. Pope Bob isn't looking for a demotion.

If you know how much Chicago (or any other university) is paying to give everyone on campus Claude Enterprise, my DMs are open. I am curious how this expense compares to the apparently “too expensive” humanities PhD programs Chicago has cut. I bet the answer is illuminating!
