Our coffee maker broke in the middle of an ice storm this weekend.
We'll be okay until the roads are clear. Still have the espresso maker and moka pot. But RIP to the Cuisinart that got us through some wild times. Truly the end of an era.

"Students can't cheat with AI if they're using AI [for an assignment]!" is a real thing I just heard in a meeting. People clapped.

Not enough people are talking about copay prices. I'm on the NC State Health Plan and all of my copays just DOUBLED from last year. And my therapist went from $0 to $50 a session. Are people talking about this and I'm just missing it?

What do 18 year olds have that 5 year olds don't?
Talking to the 5-year-old about the election tomorrow has backfired spectacularly because she asked if she gets to vote, and I explained to her that she needed to be 18, and she is now crying and vigorously arguing that you should be allowed to vote “whatever age you are”

John Warner does a great job of unpacking a series of ideas about writing and writing instruction and, while I don’t agree with all the propositions, the conclusions are right on target.
The screenshot shows some of the conclusions.

Swipe back and forth to see before/after aerial images of Helene throughout western NC. The damage shown to my own property was pretty disturbing, but I will say one thing: live stakes are essential for preserving riverbank (and actual land)!
