This thread is interesting, but it doesn’t match my experience as a community college instructor. I have some students who don’t do the work, and they fail. (I have a generous policy for late work, and many students who got off on the wrong foot end up doing okay. Not all do.)
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Today, Starbucks workers in 40+ cities began a historic ULP strike. But we’re NOT finished.
We're prepared to escalate with more stores striking if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing, and the resolution of 100s of ULPs.

Fun date idea for this time of year: you and your date each bring money ($20 or so) to a toy store. Pick out toys you like and donate them to a charity. Then go have a beverage or something.

I think the thing that really made the Joyce Carol Oates tweet sting so bad is that it's a nerd power fantasy, this devasting, eloquent putdown that hurts worse than anything a bully can physically do to you, and that's the kind of thing he thinks he's supposed to be doing

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

The political conviction I hold most strongly - the belief that structures my life - is that the lemonade salesman from Duck Soup deserved everything he got. He was guilty of the worst crime of all, which is that he couldn't hang. He couldn't do bits.

Decision Desk HQ has called the Virginia governors race for Spanberger. The millions of dollars in anti trans ads fell completely flat there.
