In my experience, most students who avoid the assignment & say "It was boring/what I did is better" don't know how to do the work. They can't admit needing help & so do what they know. The worst thing I can do for their development as a student & a person is to indulge that coping mechanism.

Beans for vigor?

“Oh, is it a news event that probably can’t directly harm me? LET’S DISCUSS IT ALL DAY PLEASE.”

The Pope calls it "pop"

Nope :(

Withholding judgment on the new pope until we find out whether he was a Cubs or White Sox fan.

I did not remember that either!

A pope who was truly concerned with liberation would free the Swiss Guard from those ridiculous collars.

It's not an "accusation;" it's a fact. Children have been infected with HIV at birth because of DOGE's actions under the leadership of Elon Musk.
