"A starting point for us has been to cultivate analog classroom communities. Our classes have no screens: no phones, tablets, or laptops (notwithstanding, of course, appropriate accommodations for students who need them)."
Hadn’t realized, before this moment, the degree to which the pandemic created “nice pants” days.
I understand the sentiment, but feel just the opposite. AI is saturating every surface of students’ lives. What we have to offer them is not small tweaks to their engagements w the technology, but rather spaces separate from it via which they can develop their own critical faculties.
Again, they just don’t seem like they want to fight for *anything* and are hoping bounces go their way.
Chiarot throwing that hit was such a bad choice. Even if it worked, 94 was still wide open. I don’t get how our defensive system is supposed to work with so many dumb plays like this happening every game.
New from @hopkinspress.bsky.social, BRITISH WOMEN NOVELISTS AND THE REVIEW PERIODICAL by @meganpeiser.bsky.social explores how book reviews impacted female authors at the height of their literary influence in the nineteenth century.

This is also why Stevie, Z, and Datsyuk were such beasts when they worked on their defensive game. No sacrifice of offensive talent to become better defensively; seems we need more of that and not hoping guys like Appleton suddenly learn to score 15-20 a year.
I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED
If they could play like they need to (or want to) win games, that would be a big improvement.
Awful effort. This team needs a lobotomy or something.
We just don’t look like a team that wants to fight for anything. Ever.

There’s just no urgency. No desire to take over the game. I don’t know what needs to happen but there has to be a dramatic shift in their attitude soon. Kane has also looked mostly useless since breaking the US point record. Barely even a PP specialist now.
Playing with no urgency this time of year is completely unacceptable.
A vintage black-and-white engraved portrait of Victorian poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, shown in a three-quarter view seated in an upholstered armchair. She is a woman in her thirties or forties with large expressive dark eyes and a gentle, introspective expression as she gazes directly at the viewer. Her dark hair falls in soft, full ringlets around her face and over her shoulders, parted in the middle with a small decorative hair accessory visible. She wears a dark, long-sleeved Victorian dress with a fitted bodice buttoned down the front, wide puffed sleeves, a white lace collar and cuffs, and a voluminous skirt. In her lap rests some papers, which she holds with her left hand; her right hand holds a quill pen. Behind her is a softly rendered background with foliage and rose bushes, evoking a serene indoor or garden-like setting. The overall style is a detailed 19th-century steel engraving or lithograph, with fine shading and cross-hatching to create depth and texture.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, one of the Victorian era's most celebrated English poets, was renowned for her lyrical, passionate & intellectually rich work.
She expanded what women could write about and how seriously they were taken. She was born #OTD in 1806. #WomensHistoryMonth #poetry #literature
Not that bad at all, and without giving up more valuable prospects.
Happy Twin Peaks Day

Wish Gibson didn’t bite so hard on those dekes, but we somehow got a point out of a game we were out of until that weird bounce.
ah well at least we restructured the entire contemporary university, the product of many centuries of slowly accumulating human ingenuity, to boost this
Please, I do not want a robotic taxi or a machine to write my emails. I just want affordable healthcare and maybe some fresh produce.
Increasingly convinced that ChatGPT should be shut down and its CEO should be charged as an accessory to many, many crimes.

This quote from George Saunders just immediately became part of how I view writing and the world: “I started to understand writing as a kind of sacrament, by which we remind ourselves that the person we happen to be, at this moment, through habit, is not the limit of who we might become.”
