Last Saturday Jack Black & these talented youngsters (my son Roman Morello, Revel Ian, Yoyoka Soma & Hugo Weiss) unleashed “MR. CROWLEY”, a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne & #RandyRhoads. Vid reached #4 globally on YouTube and brought joy to the hearts of metal fans of all ages.

This comes as a confirmation of what *every* educator, either in academia or school knew all along ⤵️

I still write *everything* down with a pen on paper ... Even shopping lists sometimes 😄
New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.
