somehow I don't think the students want to be graded by Chat Bot

I'll never fit in your pockets, Nick--I'm much too fat.

Power out most of the night. Slept like crap.

It's so crazy we live in a world where female athletes are striking for better wages and dodging sex toys being thrown at them, while trans athletes are being accused of evil scheming so they can play women's sports, which pays well and is highly dignified. It's almost like someone's full of shit

Oh, we go overboard. Assignments linked all up in that shit.

All those starter posts have to be revised or created whole cloth.

There are weekly assignments that have general descriptions (modules) and within those we have the specific discussion boards with lengthy starter posts.

got the easy stuff done--revised the syllabus' reading schedule and the four main writing assignments.

the hard part will be the learning modules and the discussion boards--so many new works to dissect and set up.

UGH.

WHY MUST LIFE BE HARD?

yeah, it's HOURS of work.

there's an argument that Cook would be ousted by the shareholders for NOT bowing down to the Mad King, and that's everything that's wrong with America.

Guess who's got two thumbs and just got news of a new composition textbook today?

This guy. I now have to revise my entire online course.

To sum up: since the early 2000s, public universities lost most of their state funding. They recouped the loss by insisting that faculty be grant productive. This was case-by-case money that people earned via rigorous vetting process. *That’s* what the administration is taking away now.

One of the biggest obstacles faced by my first-gen students is a fear of writing. Fear that they'll be called stupid or wrong. Fear that they won't use "smart" words. Instead of working through that fear, LLMs give them a way to never confront it, never overcome it, never learn. I hate it so much

I know an academic who has ‘Dip., St. Paul’s School, Concord, NH’ in their cv.

The people who come up with the charts and graphs are the Marketing Dept.

‘Profits = revenue - costs.’

Two years to learn this?

BoSox won again.

might be tricky--these baseboards are old

that might work, but I'm skeered of pulling the baseboards--they almost certainly would crack given their age.

Yeah, I'm not too sure I can get up into the wall cavity from the crawlspace. This place is 84 years old and TIGHT.

Never can be too sure--was there a comely lass about 24 years old with this guy?

that's crazypants

these are wired speakers, and I really like them. but a good idea.
