My latest poem to enter the world! www.mockingowlroost.com/blog/when-it...
Looking for the Bubbles
I’m sure there is some scientific explanation,
but the idea of the clouds needing to let it all out is nicer.
Even storms need to pause and rest awhile.

On this Sunday before classes start, I will stay sane by doing article edits. Being in the final stages for an academic project is always lovely.

AI has no positive place in the classroom.
Perfect example fresh off the digital presses from Peter Greene on how even the "positive" AI integration is turning students into spectators, rather than asking them to be participants. It shouldn't be hard to see how misguided this is. curmudgucation.substack.com/p/ai-student...

Same. Frankly, I can’t imagine any situation where using an LLM to generate text would not make writing the book take ten times as long.
