#AI in #education? Opinions vary, but here's a nice analysis, plus this spicy quote: "From a technological standpoint, this is the equivalent of a big digital nothingburger." www.edweek.org/technology/c...

HEY, EVERYBODY!!! DON'T FILL UP ON BREAD!

If my husband & my coworker are any indication, I work well with bald, bearded Scorpios.

Val just ate a great deal of fatty salmon and will be cleaning her face for the rest of the evening.

Hey, #English, #theater, #drama, #Shakespeare and #humanities teachers! I made this handy table for my upcoming presentation for the #education team at Chicago Shakespeare Theater! Feel free to download/copy, or DM me if you want a slide deck or PDF of it.

Why is the 1st Quarto of #Hamlet so hilarious? "To be, or not to be, aye there's the point. To die, to sleep, is that all? Aye all: No, to sleep, to dream, aye marry there it goes." #theater #drama #earlymodern #shakespeare

Just told my, I dunno, direct report, over late night cocktails, "We're gonna move fast and break shit." He seemed pleased.

Oh sure, first it's a Subway sandwich. But next it could be a calzone or even a tactical croissant.

@eamondaly.bsky.social and I were talking, and Val just sallied in, meowed once, then stood there, blinking. I think she said, "I'm bored."

I'm sorry, but as pretty as Branagh's "Hamlet" is, it is one tone-deaf rendering of that play. Every time the generic "this is a big moment" music swelled under EVERY soliloquy, I wanted to claw my own ears out. And why is Hamlet always pushing on 40? While Ophelia is 21? Gross.

KY Gov. Beshear: Let me be clear. Trump has both the funding & the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that Trump has made. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

I was an FBI agent for 25 years. I never felt the horror of a fully wrapped Subway sandwich caroming off my tactical vest in the darkness of night on the mean city streets; the smell of cheap yellow mustard and raw onions lingering in my olfactory banks only to retraumatize at every family picnic.

Mood: Ruthlessly efficient

Yesterday, I was promoted to senior manager of communications. Today, I was promoted to assistant director. Non-profits are weird.

Overhearing a client call with @eamondaly.bsky.social and basking in the glow of how good he is at what he does. @popupkaraoke.com

We just switched bus drivers and the new one buoyantly announced himself and said, "Let's do this!"

ICE Broadview. Tense. there have been arrests & clashes. wearing a gas mask bec we just got gased a couple times. I heard there are pepper balls but I didn’t see any. I just posted an Instagram reel — Illinois State police & other cops are facing off in Beach St, www.instagram.com/reel/DQhmRip...

I can't think of anything to say

Where my fans of "Assassins" by #sondheim? Don't miss this: www.imdb.com/title/tt3112...

Starting to work on my presentation about 'Hamlet' for @Chicago Shakespeare Theater. It will open with "There's an episode of 'Gilligan's Island...'" #iykyk #shakespeare #gilligansisland #Hamlet #artseducation #arted #publichumanities

How much, methinks, I could despise this man, But that I am bound in charity against it!

I can chant the cheer that Marsha learns for her cheerleading tryout on The Brady Bunch. So I got that going for me.

Arthur Miller called the Salem Witch trials, wherein 20 people were executed, "one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history. Arthur, a word please.

Today’s #lunchbagdoodle is the Lesser Demon of Going to the Store for Only One Thing.

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Broadview PD instructed us to go into the “free speech zone” early. Last week, they told us to go into the street and then we got beat with batons. We’ll see what happens!
