Yeah, I'm hoping they'll let me reschedule. I've done that with the county court in the past, but this is our local city court (which I honestly didn't know existed, I thought everything was handled through the county) and the form seems weirdly half-assed and also weirdly specific about DUI 🤷‍♀️.

So, just two times per year, I get the chance to meet with the faculty in my liaison subject areas and market library services services tp them. I just got summoned for jury duty for the date in the Fall (which is the most important date). What are the odds they'd excuse me for it?
The provost of Dartmouth, at which I teach, has been using AI to write both academic papers & national op-eds, according to brave reporting by @thedartmouth.bsky.social. Many students are already bitter about AI. This leaves us as faculty no ground to stand on. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...
Op-eds, academic articles by Provost Santiago Schnell flagged as ‘AI-written’ by ‘near-zero error’ AI detector Pangram
Schnell said he used artificial intelligence for “making writing processes more efficient,” but that AI was not a “substitute” for his own “intellectual judgment or authorship.”

Anyway, panic is a psy-op.

Stay furious. Stay serious. Organize.
