Pseudo-Voight-Kampff tests, tortoises on their backs and sleeper bots lying in wait. Just another day trying to teach actual students at our local community colleges. Partners like Victor and his colleagues are so valuable as we fight to keep classes open for students who need them. #sdccd

Adds a level of humility and perhaps vulnerability, but to build rapport with hesitant/first-time sources, esp those who don't see themselves represented in media, that's key. Added it to the interview tipsheet in our student newsroom. πŸ‘πŸ½

There isn't a meet that goes by without some incredible result from a local high school T&F athlete. Last Saturday, that was UC's Kai Anderson. That bar is at 17 feet. The athletes standing by cheering are from other schools. @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social has an outstanding talent headed its way.
