@futurebird Kind of hilarious to think about those long pauses being someone having to read the output of this great, amazing, communicative machine that will replace labor, because it cannot be trusted.

@NunavutBirder What a beautiful and amazing planet we live on. Thank you for sharing.

Here in Florida, where we are unfortunately ahead of the curve in succumbing to fascism, university administrations have caved to a hostile state government by telling us, "It is far better that we acquiesce because, if we don't, they will replace us (the administrators) with something worse." What's worse is that the faculty, who have had tenure protections removed, fall for it hook, line, and sinker. With tenure being taken away by what is called post tenure review (a review with possible termination every 5 years), it has made the administration more powerful, the faculty much weaker, and the university system corrupted by the whims of politics.
