So the department of education is rejecting income-driven student loan repayment plan applications based on, among other things, applicants having asked to pay the lowest possible monthly amount. Which is *Literally What IDR Is For.*
"We can't help you."
"Why not?"
"Because you asked for help. 🤷🏼♂️"

Critical thinking atrophies
People have been shown to display more unethical behaviour when they use AI tools as an intermediary i.e it's not just that tools themselves produce inaccurate information, they actually encourage people to act in a dishonest way.

Two HBCUs are currently in lockdown over shooting threats, and Hampton University cancelled classes today and tomorrow over threats.
We have had at least one school threatened every day since the start of the semester.

more than a decade of public scholarship has taught me that the moments when it's most tempting to react strongly and quickly are the ones when it's most useful to step back, seek context, and force yourself to think slowly. i don't always follow it, but those are my guidelines for myself.
