Ok. So it’s not just me!
I am forever explaining assignments which, to me, feel fairly basic. I do offer some creative options, which need a bit more context. But so many of my students seem unable to follow instructions, even when I return to them multiple times, write them down, or turn them into games or quizzes.

We're seeing possibly the worst attendance in history. Even in creative writing classes, where students generally want to participate and have their voice heard--they're not showing up, ignoring guidelines and feedback, and either describing expectations as "unclear" or simply refusing to comply.

Yet again: can we accept that the current technology of generative AI is an inherently fascistic product, and should be treated as such?
Just as fascism is not inevitable, neither is the invasion of genAI into every aspect of society - especially education and academia.
Just as fascism is not inevitable, neither is the invasion of genAI into every aspect of society - especially education and academia.
“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”
AI Is Hollowing Out Higher Education
Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.

The smartest thing a politician can do in 2026 is to come up with a bold plan for shoring up and EXPANDING public libraries. Call it Project 2050. It's a way to reintroduce the grammar of commoning and the commons to a new generation in a way they can easily grasp. Such low hanging fruit.

The fact that conservatives are leaving the conservatives or joining the liberals, does not mean they are becoming better, it means the liberals are just more and more conservative

Sabemos que Eduardo Bolsonaro está escondido em algum muquifo nos Estados Unidos tramando contra nosso país e, se for condenado, continuará por lá.
Mas, pelo menos, teremos a alegria de saber que o verme Eduardo Bolsonaro nunca mais abraçará seu pai.

Been observing twitter about the Charlie Kirk shooter. Its interesting to see how this plays out. From everything I can see its clear that Tyler Robinson is a groyper or at least in that general category of highly online, irony poisoned, male loneliness epidemic victims.

Please stop calling it a "political assassination."Charlie Kirk wasn't elected to anything, and calling it that elevates him to something he wasn't. It was not an assassination. It was a murder.
