I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

Joseph Rezek @rezekjoe.bsky.social · Apr 15

Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

From NYT article about the increasing use of AI in the classroom: “Writing is one of the most challenging tasks for students, which is why it is so tempting for some to ask A.I. to do it for them. In turn, A.I. can be useful for teachers who would like to assign more writing, but are limited in their time to grade it.”

My mum is undergoing chemo and lost her magnificent curly mane so I shaved my head for moral support and to show her that her hair will grow back in due time, no regrets (apart from now sleeping with a cap or something because I’m cold!😂)

Art history & mythology in One Piece : Monet
🪡 a thread

#onepiece #mythology #arthistory

Monet from One Piece is seen from the side blowing a cold wind with her snow power.

A person’s head personified as a cold wind can see seen blowing an icy breeze in the margins of an old map.

porn prevented this app from becoming an nft trading hellhole like it was initially envisioned by jack dorsey. i'd rather it becomes the biggest safe space for sex workers on the internet

Basil 🌱 @yuedreams.bsky.social · Nov 9

“keep the horny off this app”

how about stop showing up and hating on the sex workers here that were amongst the first to join the app, actually.
set your muted words and moderation preferences so you don’t see what you don’t want to but don’t try to bully them off bluesky

Reminder to my artist friends that this awesome site exists. It lets you pick a species of animal, set the orientation of the skull, and then search for pictures of that animal that match the skull position.

Also, consider tipping the creator if you found it useful!

This, to anyone new to Bluesky, remember the block button here actually works, and it works very well. Do not engage with people here for rage bate, don't help to spread them around. Instantly block them, send them to the shadow realm, starve them for attention.

Casual reminder:

It’s far more productive to starve the incoming Trumpers of engagement than to quote dunk etc.

Starve them. It sends a far more powerful message.
