And yes, it's the same 5 steps each time.

Name and own the harm
Start to change
Amends
Apology
Make different choices.

Same with interpersonal harm.
Institutional harm.
National harm.
Crimes against humanity.

Whether or not you can ever fully repair.

Whether or not you can ever be forgiven.

Who could have guessed. My most significant memory from a recent conference was seeing a whole bunch of these little dudes congregating in the student center -- it seemed like they were planning the robot uprising, but maybe they were just stuck.
All of this effort to promote delivery robots that nobody needs and which don't work, the perfect 2020s tech story
New from 404 Media: internal emails show how universities are bending over backwards to accommodate food delivery robots. Company demands any photos only include students with a "healthy BMI." Also want to exploit "captured" student customer base www.404media.co/student-shou...

Yesterday, I had to explain to undergrads that dot matrix printer paper was, in fact, regular size once you pull off the sides (yes, we had a cache of old paper we were giving away) AND I got asked if I knew what TikTok was. I guess I have officially become old?
