Talk to me about birds and hockey
The particular distrust required for constant AI detection deeply disturbs the trust that constitutes an effective student-teacher relationship. So as much as possible I take Lewis' approach. But students today see a choice between (hard) free work and no work. A far less staggering calculus is made

The first risk of AI being speed is a profound insight, which is likely to be increasingly incomprehensible to many living in the world into which this document seeks to speak.

Saw Courtney Barnett in concert on Tuesday, the Buffalo Sabres in the 2nd round of the playoffs on Wednesday, and a whole host of neighbors at our food distribution event this morning. I am filled to the brim, and also quite tired.

Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days!

Common knowledge that World Vision and some other orgs operate with extremely high overhead; a small fraction of donations make it to the field. I certainly did not know this: the first 6-12 months of that $39 donation covering nothing but the band/label/pRiVaTe EqUiTy(!!!) promotersā fees.

So apparently a private equity firm has bought up the "public platforms" of Christian bands--in order to get the $$ they receive for promoting charities. And now there's a lawsuit involving a sex scandal and journalism

The joy does not fit in words of stopping on the way to preschool to look at birds. The 5yr old took the lead with a small pair of binoculars, while I IDed birds she didn't know and tried to just see what she saw. Geese are beautiful! Tadpoles are a thrill! Why is poop white??!?

Seeing the AI Jesus image generate a much stronger response than any of the words said by this president to similar effect, Ellul's reflection on word, image, and propaganda in The Humiliation of the Word is probably a pertinent read this week.

We spoke to Black women who started the Target boycott & who sustained it for a yr+. They'll likely never go back. Teacher Laverne Mickens put it like this: ā[Black women] will say if & when itās over. And I can tell you right now: That will be the 15th of never ever.ā

For many Black women, the Target boycott is not over. It may never be.
A faith leader announced the end of a yearlong āTarget fast,ā but many Black women who helped launch the boycott say the movement wasnāt his to call off.

This sounds like somebody who grew up rich trying to imagine what poor people sound like. We know how cash money works FAR BETTER than you do. You might know systems like stocks & IRAs & bonds & trust funds, but we do know cash money. We know SNAP doesnāt buy EVERYTHING at the grocery store.

This is really good. Both at precisely naming many of the problems with the usa menās hockey team this week, and at conveying honest responses to those issues from women professionally enmeshed in hockey (including menās). Lots of nodding along to the first, and a clarifying listen with the second.
