You are the writer where I first noticed the use of multiple narrators in the same panel - I'm specifically thinking of Whisper. And the reader was able to keep them straight and it enriched the story

Hegseth prefers Grok because it tolerates racism and Nazism - that's not absolutism

Inter-library loan is like having access to the greatest library ever - you just have to wait a bit for the book to arrive

So let me get this straight: we are all set to declare war in the Middle East, with our gunships as the enforcement, but BOTH of our Navy Medical Ships are in drydock? Can they not foresee any possible need for medical support in an attack?

There were tons of these multi-volume series at the time - very popular. After Jakes, the packager used a common pseudonym with hired writers for each series

I stress the importance of voice and originality even more - and I remind them that if all they can produce is what AI does, companies don't need to pay THEM a salary - they need to do better than AI to compete

He ended up writing multiple multi-volume historical series. The one that started with The Bastard was originally called The Bicentennial Series but as ot continued, it became The Kent Family Chronicles

EVERY new admin has to justify their position by creating new tasks that never existed before that just get piled on top of what was already a full workload. Hell yes, we're exhausted

I remember buying previous issues of Jab but specifically choosing not to buy that one because of the gimmick

All of the math instructors at my community college are female, and they are all top-notch compared to the male teachers I had in college

I'm pretty happy - one of my research writing students, on evaluating an AI generated document on their research topic, wrote "it's written like there's no actual intended audience - it's just words related to the topic in the prompt."

i bought all those interesting late 60's/early 70's DC experiments as back issues, so I am not always clear on the timeline. I do like your idea - especially if it still leaves room for Son

I like this, but I am an avid fan of what they did with the Son of Tomahawk version

Unmasking EdTech's Surveillance Infrastructure in the Age of AI Danai Nhando discusses how the PowerSchool breach, which exposed 62M student records, reveals systemic edtech data governance failures.

The PowerSchool breach exposed 62M students’ most sensitive records. It also revealed a policy vacuum, argues Danai Nhando, as accountability mechanisms failed to address systemic problems, including the centralization of data, weak security defaults, and governance failures.

I just want my students to listen to me and not just peck at their devices. I don't have time or energy to try to create cult members
