I am exhausted while pushing the mower. I had just asked Siri to set a reminder and she omitted the most important words in that reminder.

Me: hey siri…
Siri: uh huh?
Me: oh, fuck it. Nevermind. I can’t
Siri: ok it’s deleted.
Me. ⁉️ what’s deleted⁉️
Siri: < reads me the definition of the word “deleted “>
Me: 😭

Five alpacas hanging out in a barn stall. Three are kushed. One is standing, looking at the camera, and chewing. One is at the edge of the frame, eating from a feed bucket.

So, I was on a long drive yesterday, and put on some pump me up music, so I didn't get sleepy. I just put something on YouTube, and I ended up in the group of music that I would call Peak Mid to Late Millenial. For perspective, I'm one of the Gappers, not quite old enough to be Gen X, but also feel too old to be a Millenial, although I suppose I technically am, just an Ancient one. ANYWAY, this music, on the surface, sounds like bubble gum pop dance music, the kind you dance in "da club" to, but as I was listening, I realized most of the lyrics had a trend that broke down basically to this:

Get your friends together, drink heavily, have sex, party, DANCE, GO LIVE IN THE PRESENT, because we will all probably die young anyway.

Most of these songs are probably between 10-15 years old, and honestly probably really caught onto the zeitgeist of the time. Hope didn't work, we are still caught in a shit conflict none of us want to be in. The world is actively burning, and no one in power wants to save it. We make less money than our parents and their parents, we'll probably never get to own a home, we'll probably have college debt forever, if we could even afford to go. Might as well party your life away. I do wonder if Trump was a pretty big slap in the face about how bad it could really go, because this Apocalypse attitude seems to be changing a bit, or maybe Gen Z is just rebelling against their sad grunge Gen X parents. LOL

Either way, that was some kind of a ramble, share your thoughts on this, and listen to a peak representation of this musical phenomenon. It's kind of a banger.

A conversation on another site reminded me of something fun that happened on one of my exams last fall.

If class attendance gets low enough, I'll walk off camera and/or turn off the mic to give the attending students the answer to a bonus question on the exam. The question is a fill-in-the-blank question with the prompt something like "What did I draw on the board on October 15?"

On one of the exams, about 3x as many people had the correct answer as had actually attended. I realized I wasn't rewarding those who attended so much as rewarding those who had a friend who attended.

My horror at this realization was offset by my amusement at another realization. There was at least one student who refused to provide the correct answer -- there was a sizable number of students (about 2x as many as had attended) who all had the same incorrect answer.
