I use it a lot because I’m a much better editor than I am a writer so I really need to get β€˜something’ on the page then I can edit away.

I set my font to white on a white screen and start writing furiously while not actually being able to see what I'm writing. After 30 minutes I turn it all black and start editing and referencing.

How can a fly somehow squeeze through a tiny tiny space to get in the house but then can't exit out the giant open patio door that is a thousand times larger?

University educators: what's the current prevailing wisdom?

Are people still recording lectures and posting them and/or having live zoom links to regular classroom lectures?

I understand there are advantages and disadvantages to both and no easy answer either way but any thoughts are useful.

Prince Andrew says he’s giving up the royal Duke of York title Prince Andrew said Friday he is giving up his royal title of the Duke of York after his friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein returned to the headlines.

Prince Andrew says he’s giving up the Duke of York title but let’s be honest, that’s not accountability, it’s damage control. Still hasn’t admitted his involvement with Epstein and all of the children he raped.
