Thoroughly enjoying the Jaxson Dart hate. My QB would never. Actually, after winning superbowl mvp, my QB1 refused to go to the white house. Sucks to suck!

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable ānot a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Some teachers are using AI to grade and few are talking about it. Scantrons are one thing, but automating grading, feedback, and assessing written work with AI poses massive ethical challenges and should not become the default or go to choice in education. š in comments

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

Thinking a lot lately about how we have for some time treated the reading of books as a means to an end in school rather than the books themselves as a worthwhile end. Lots of complicated thoughts on this but it's definitely something I've been wrestling with.
