If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.
You know, I do hope RFK jr doubles down on his Dunkin Donuts thing because historically, picking fights with Bostonians over access to their beverage of choice has gone real well.
Just you watch, we're gunna throw him in the fuckn habar kehd.

Also it is bit weird to see the widespread proliferation of substack in high ed enviroment given the history of the company... 🤷
Are you looking for a podcast gameshow that combines the inane logic with a text adventure with the nonsense of a party game???

But second, good news, I made this:

You should probably discuss acceptable terminology for the home at your next stand up meeting.
#LunarEclipse FAQ:

A: Not at all! The news has that covered.
Wait till an LLM dedicates a novel to their Company owner
[P] Decades later, David Rees still hits distressingly accurately.
once your email storage is full you should be allowed to graduate from it. no more emails for you. you’ve seen enough emails. you’re free now
My perspective is this is a symptom of how much schools has become about grades -> degree -> job with out placing (any?) value on learning and development to be a better human.
Very cool!
doing it more than 1 day in a row has some rough side effects
A quick video I made on tips for putting students in groups/teams:

My adolescence can be precisely described by the fact that I learned to touch-type by hanging out in a busy X-Files chat room on CompuServe where I had to break typing speed records to get my deep and insightful comments in before the conversation moved on
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“.

No, no. It's fine that residuals are dying. I've got a new constant stream of small checks: class action settlements from companies that failed to keep my personal data safe.
A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?" And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards." And you know what? He is.' Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.
I never noticed this either.
This is such a cool assignment. We're reading Stuart Hall next week in my Feminist Interdisciplinary Histories & Methods doctoral seminar & I've also encouraged students to listen to Hall on Desert Island Discs. Music is a sub-theme of the seminar, I have come to realize.
