And by 9 years old some still don’t catch on :-/ … they become more capable but less cooperative with age.

At the very least Claude was a co-conspirator.

How do we know Claude didn’t put this person up to it? Maybe Claude’s the hacker.

Too many outlets are asking if an AI has feelings and not enough outlets are asking if an AI can be charged with murder.

Ppl have lost their damn minds.

Sounding like we should decide admissions by random draw…

You never know. You might have liked it…

But did you actually taste it?

Mentorship should always have ‘counted’ at R1s. But it seems like now is an important moment to rethink and integrate it into T&P standards — since grant-getting will not really be something on which jr faculty can be judged for the foreseeable future since there are no grants. 🙃

Uhh we should fund and regulate it. I do not want people knowing my thoughts ty.

Don’t such workflows rely on massive data collection efforts that will no longer occur? Because those cost $$. So at best those data collection efforts will be privatized. 😑

Slightly diminish a band: Smooch

😆 Oh yes, a ‘hoodie on at the height of summer’ type child. I’ve seen these types in the wild. We are the ‘let’s wear shorts to school in the snow’ type.

My kid runs hot and has slept shirtless since about age 3. So digging around to find some pajamas that fit for these ‘special’ days is always ridiculous. Usually the one pair of Christmas jammies they get from grandma each year are the go-to. No matter the season :-)

So sorry for your loss. And true words, document your family’s history while you can.

I have recently begun to prefer Coke Zero over Diet Coke too. I don’t know what has come over me. But the taxonomy is pretty spot on.

And the 1.25L virtue is you drink it in more than one sitting but it will be gone before it goes flat.

I had to look up who Josh Allen is. I may be a bit biased in not wanting my kids to do travel sports because I’m also not into pro sports 😂

Seriously - if scouts can find kids on random sports fields in the Dominican Republic, they will be able to find my kid.

Kids have a higher chance of getting struck by lightning than playing pro sports. I’m not wasting my weekends driving my kids all over the Midwest to play travel sports. Go to the park! (These views are making me a bit of a social outcast I think. Ah well).

Wonder how much of this is attributable to a generation of kids subjected to the Lucy Caulkins’ reading curriculum.

Yes. And to make it worse, the platitudes from faculty in positions of power talking about how jr scholars just need grit with a side of self care to get through. From folks that study structural societal problems! It’s gaslighting.

The only nutrition research I buy into without reading the paper.

Crushed goldfish crackers, banana peels wedged between the seats…

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

Ok fortunes in fortune cookies are getting bad bad. They went from being fortunes to being proverbs to being the advice of a mid-level corporate manager.

Shelly-Ann racing in her kid's Parents Day race at the school is the funniest thing I've seen all week LMAO

Love this. My kid was literally off the growth charts - instead of a dot, there was an arrow showing the direction off the chart. Threw my back out toting hoisting ‘em into the car seat a couple times.

Thank you for the hashtag. I am a xennial with boomer social media skills.

Whew. The very kind flight crew made sure I remembered the tube.
Onto the metro, our next adventure.

I’m starting to think tubey needs a name.
