An empty bulletin boards with ghostly oulines of since-discarded posters; blue wall
A bulletin board covered with blue background paper, zero flyers, heading up top: internships / fellowships / jobs; thumbtacks arranged in the shape of a smiley face
A white bulletin board on a white wall; the only poster: "Be a good friend. Call Penn Police."
I also started documenting the sad bulletin boards of Penn, then got bored 🤷♀️

Meme with Tintin and the Captain saying ‘What a week, huh?’ and Tintin replying: ‘Captain, it's Wednesday’.
My level of fatigue: yesterday (Tuesday) I asked a colleague how her week had been and today (Wednesday) I said ‘have a good weekend’ at the end of a meeting.

Students use LLMs because they have never, not just now, had enough time & space for learning.
And they are frequently missing knowledge about how the various resources work. We just skipped right over that to "they're going to use it anyway so we have to integrate it into pedagogy."
Ici c’était awkward Secret Santa au boulot, j’ai pas eu le temps de déconnecter, mon cerveau a été éveillé toute la nuit… et je clôture un cours important où certains étudiants sont perdus. Mon cerveau va se plisser très fort de concentration et rêver de la prochaine nuit. Soutien et caféine.
