With RFK Jr. confirmed, it's now more important than ever to mask up and protect yourself against preventable diseases. I am ALWAYS happy to provide advice/tips/tricks about quality masks and how to breathe cleaner air. Can do a thread here if folks would like!

💯 As I tell my students, having AI write your philosophy paper is like sending a robot to the gym for you and expecting to reap the health benefits.
Writing is thinking.
It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

Trump has tasked Musk and Ramaswamy with finding deep cuts to the U.S. federal budget. It may not be easy. Any substantial reductions could have a deep impact in the states that voted to return Trump to the White House.

Remember folks that we need to return to the old habit of reposting (retweeting) people's posts instead of liking them to allow the folks we think are cool to build their following. Let's continue to build one another's visibility as a community should.
