Maybe need a label other than “friendly” for this one.

A tifo so big it doesn't even fit in one picture! 😳

Yeah. I was expecting Kelsy for Antony with a formation change. Fernandez is such a versatile player, would’ve kept him for later instead of as 1:1 for Antony. When Kelsy came on for Chara, I felt like organization started to come apart.

Thanks for pointing out the age of the team. It’s easy to forget how young they are. I think seven of the outfield starters last night were under twenty-five. Hard not to wonder how things would’ve gone if Neville had been on the sidelines to help manage the game.

Got this Lovecraftian strawberry today.

But who knows? Maybe my classes are full of AI slop. I don't think that's true, but I do hate the way the existence of things like ChatGPT lead to moments where I start assuming bad faith on the part of my students.

I've tried to take grades out of my classes as much as possible. I provide feedback on assignments, but not grades. I involve students in assessing their own work. When I finally assign grades at the end of the term, I base those on a student's whole body of work.

I also think that the political and media focus on elite colleges and universities likely distorts impressions of how widespread AI use is in higher ed; none of the students I teach have any sense of entitlement when it comes to the place they have the university or to earning a degree.

The reduction of education to credentialing is long standing in the U.S. If that's the goal, earning the credential, and not learning, it's easy to see why a student would resort to cheating, especially when fearing failure on a high stakes assignment.

To expand on the term paper example, unless a teacher strictly defines the pool of research to sources that they know well, you pretty much need to focus on things like structure and citation practices to assign a grade. ChatGPT is a pretty good tool for gaming assignments like this.

Conventional tools for assessment of learning, like tests and term papers, not only contribute to the perception of high stakes, but also open the door to cheating. These tools are either, ultimately, graded on form rather than content or require simple recitation of material. Both are easy to game.

In my experience teaching at a regional public university in the U.S., students cheat in response to pressure; pressure from balancing all of their responsibilities (school, work, care), pressure from the perceived high stakes of assignments and grades.

I think this is important; AI tools may make cheating and cutting corners easier for students, but the forces that drive and enable this behavior are not new. bsky.app/profile/gwil...

Soccerwise and Full Time both have weekly recap/headlines episodes (usually around 20-25 minutes), typically on Mondays. But Soccerwise is exclusively North American in focus and Full Time is dedicated to women's soccer. So, neither are straight replacements for Early Kickoff.

All of this jibber-jabber about how elite colleges did this to themselves by making gestures at taking racism seriously or whatever, but zero conversation about whether having a set of institutions nobody can get into shape the upper echelons of our society is corrosive in the first place.

Spoiler alert: They won't. They know how dirty coal is which is why they force the people who live in sacrifice zones to deal with these negative aspects of it while their communities enjoy the benefits of the energy gained at the expense of environmental justice communities.

I invite anyone who believes coal is clean to volunteer to live near a coal plant, coal ash ponds or trains that move literal mountains of coal. I ask them to enjoy the increased risk of cancer, asthma, lung disease, heart disease, and premature death that all result from exposure to coal pollution.

Well… that’s just cool

Best was my favorite Timber as a kid (later was a push with Robbie Rensenbrink, but I think that was because I saw him as a proxy for Johan Cruyff, my favorite player overall).

Trump’s ‘climate’ purge deleted a new extreme weather risk tool. We recreated it The Guardian has recreated a searchable climate future risk tool developed by Fema but then deleted

DAZN, but you'll need to set up a (free) account to watch women's soccer. Can stream online or via the DAZN apps.

Don’t let the obvious missed pen distract you from the fact that the Timbers completely lost control of that game after they scored. Got way too conservative and passive from like 50’ on. #RCTID
