So, even with the pictures my story wasn't fun. Why? Because it wasn't about Halloween of course!

Yeah I was less confident of a win against City than Everton getting something too. I just thought the two similar decisions were an interesting comparison

Yeah, I understand that Barry. I thought this was a good example of outcome bias.

So Arteta picking a more defensively secure line up against City is an act of cowardice, but Slot going with a more defensive line up against Everton is a laudable piece of management?

Removing all context, would you rather have a club that waits for the right players and builds their squad over the seasons prioritising the long term, or one which takes what is available and tries to maximise the upcoming season and deal with the consequences after? #arsecastextra

I've found using AI tools increases my productivity when creating units. I've seen quite a few studies suggesting that I'm not the only one.

AI use is ubiquitous & leads to performance gains at the individual level that are not passed on to organizations.
In a representative survey of US workers, 43.2% now use generative AI at work. Those who do use it for 1/3 of their weekly tasks & report a tripling of productivity on those tasks.

Hmm... now I'm trying to figure out how an after-school activity where EAL students play RPGs would work. Love the idea. 🤩

I'm doing a unit on games. Taught my EAL students to play rummy, and some board games then we discuss tactics and they write a guide. Really fun and we're getting some really rich language that's useful in many other areas. #EAL
