Keegan Michael Key as the Substitute Teacher.  A black man with a mustache in a short-sleeved white shirt and a tan tie scrutinizes a clipboard.  Notes from a biology class are written on the chalkboard behind him. The Comedy Central logo appears on a pink bar to the left.

Film, journalism, broadcasting, digital storytelling. Media Studies at Beloit College lets students explore media from every angle.

Create it. Critique it. Understand how it shapes the world.

I have to do Career Day at my kids' school, what's a good way to teach them about science? I was thinking of giving them a fun activity and then making them fill out a lot of paperwork before abruptly canceling it

According to PEW, teens in households making under $75K are more likely to use chatbots for help with all or most schoolwork. I read a comment on another platform that said this is amazing news because we are "finally going to close the achievement gap." That is not how I would interpret this data.

Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.

Misplaced my 30-year-old tea filter at work, and got Big Mad at myself. Searched for a week, but no tea is Not An Option, so it had to be replaced.

The new one is easier to use and clean and works as well if not better.

I am assuming henceforth that I'm wrong about all the things I think I love.

Describe your favorite games poorly

- People with godlike superpowers argue over making appointments if they want to talk to each other.

- Fly a perfectly normal aircraft in a straight line at constant speed.

- Make this planet more like the planet you left but before your ruined it.

Donate to a worthy cause if you're able.
Work behind the scenes if you're able.
Take action in the streets if you're able.
Show the world your antlers and claws if you’re able.
Unleash your true monstrous form and wreak havoc if you're able.

I swear, some undergraduates do have a weird mentality that the work we ask them to do is somehow not for THEIR benefit, that the professor is an adversary forcing students do stuff for some unknown reason and they win the struggle by getting out of doing the work.
