When students get to college they generally don’t know what college is and that’s an incredible pedagogical opportunity. My freshman comp class did Morrison, Pope, Dickinson, Shakespeare, and Johnny Cash all swirled together in a frenzy of discovery. Education is what we make it.

Renovation of our government isn't enough. It has to be torn down. This administration. The GOP. Establishment Democrats. It all has to go.

Senate Dem leadership is straight up incompetent. Having people like @schumer.senate.gov in this position is profoundly harmful to Americans. I don’t have the words for this.

I appreciate everyone who has posted about OutKast, specifically The Love Below, the last few days. A no-skips album that exudes joy - exactly what we all need.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is.
Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?
If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.
No one should have that much.

Want to hear a cool fact.... The debt has gone up in Trump's short time as a second term President by as much as it would cost to wipe out student loan debt ($1.8t) AND all medical debt ($220b).
How cool is that shit?
Bet if we wiped that debt clean, people's lives would be a lot better.

Every ai video sucks because they’re never more than their prompts, you’re like ‘yeah that’s a video of a dinosaur eating chips whilst skateboarding,” but like that’s it - you could just post your prompt and it’d be the same. But every real piece of film contains MORE than just its script

I've received an 'exclusive' invite to try Nature's new 'research assistant', which will burn down a forest to provide a 'summary of the paper' I'm reading and I have SUCH exciting news for them, that's called an 'abstract' and the actual authors already wrote it for me, no forest-burning required.
