Because the point of going to school is to learn things, not to use a dictation machine with the mental capacity of Jenny McCarthy.

Why is NPR platforming some lazy 18 year old, anyway

If you’re holding your vibrato you’re damaging your vocal cords. I had voice studio cohorts who learned to sing wrong (pushing with chest voice, belting, holding vibrato) and gave themselves vocal nodes before age 20. Even & natural vibrato means you’re supporting. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

His assertion that any Jew, or European for that matter, would’ve stuck around at a party with a guy with THAT tattoo is offensive.

Also how hasn’t he heard of Lovecraft’s marriage/divorce? The judenrat? Fritz Haber? β€œHonorary Aryans”? Emil Maurice? Erhard Milch? I can keep going.

Chise, this data is for Moderna and Pfizer? Any info or comparisons on how Costaive (Arcturus) stacks up? That’s the booster I got this season as my doctor said it had better durability.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a general rule people with Nazi tattoos are Nazis.

And these Nazis weren’t killed for the reasons you imply. Food was the least of it.

Educate yourself about the Holocaust and stop using it as your yardstick. Nothing happening in the US is on that industrial scale of terror, torture, and mass murder.

The Last Days of the Dachau Concentration Camp For the last several days of its existence, before soldiers of the United States Seventh Army arrived, Dachau was a small, self-enclosed universe of decay and death.

They did not, in fact, β€œkill all the guards.” There were summary executions, some by prisoners themselves, but not all were killed.

Hi JJ, thanks so much for sharing and for your kind words. I’d love to speak with you about it! And yes, it’s open sourceπŸ™‚

It’s certainly the most significant animated film of the 2020s (honorable mention to Blue Giant).

The only Nic Cage movie worse than this one is probably β€œThe Color Out of Space”… And that one has a high Rotten Tomatoes rating too, which I find suspect. Wasn’t there some kind of scandal a while back about RT ratings being inflated? Or am I misremembering?

She doesn’t have an estate as she has no living heirs. It’s Harvard University that owns most of the rights. The rest are owned by Amherst College and the Dickinson Museum.

This is extremely yikes😬 I have students who fail assignments (and sometimes the entire course) for doing this.

One under suspicion last sem had the nerve to say he’d rewrite his assignments but sent it in an AI-gen email. (Then he AI’d the final & failed.)

Have you seen β€œBlue Giant”? Idk if it was released outside Japan but she did the music for it and it’s honestly one of the best films about being a musician I’ve ever seen. The soundtrack is a masterwork.

Gosh this is beautiful and includes so much of what I’ve been struggling to get my students to understand.
Will share with colleagues.
