Can anyone point me to an updated list of academics, journalists, and authors included in Grammarly's "Expert Review"... asking for a friend, and me.

Ignorant parent curious about Boddle, my little one can’t stop talking about it, and if you’re a parent of a young kid who knows about this game, please help, thank you!

Same, it’s like a cheap party trick, initially attractive but ultimately lacking substance. These tools can/should help our students learn, but this slop is such a distraction.

Wouldn’t be Christmas morning without Jewish Holiday Origami, what else are you going to do with all that wrapping paper?

A blue, gold, and white menorah with blue and white pomegranates on it in front of red and pink poinsettias on a wood table. The menorah is lit for the first night of Hannukah.

It’s the first night of Hanukkah and the world seems like a very dark place. But we can bring light to the darkness. We can fight for each other and make goodness, love, and community shine through.

Show me your menorahs and let’s light up the timeline!

As visual summaries of primary sources, Google NotebookLM infographics are AI slop akin to ultraprocessed food manufactured in a lab to maximize consumption at the expense of nourishment. As a scholar and educator I’ll pass on this ultraprocessed facsimile of knowledge:

Has your child turned household furniture into a multi-level obstacle course and completed ear-splitting rehearsals for American Ninja Warrior before 7:30 on a Sunday morning? Then perhaps your family, like ours, is among the millions acutely suffering from a case of What-the-Fuck-Daylight-Savings.

It’s 6:38 AM and I can report with confidence that any benefit from this lovely Sunday morning sunrise is negated by a six-year old who demanded cereal an hour ago, has crashed two sets of Lego down the stairs, and is now eating Halloween candy because why not, who can parent after Daylight Savings!
