Amazing. Also I love how the tone of the Bugs Bunny lesson is slightly different from the rest but spot on 😂

“Unlike your actual staff, I have read the university missions/values and have connected with them like this…”? 😂

I’ve often wondered if ‘we’re actually better than this’ might be a good thing to say to educators thinking about using this technology 🤔

Look at least the letters actually spell the first letter of the things to remember. I have seen many worse things. But also, fedora is indeed a hilarious thing to use here 😂

"Institutions that once proclaimed their commitment to humanistic inquiry now appear eager to embrace a set of tools whose leading use cases—predictive policing, military targeting, advertising, and porn—stand in profound contradiction to the values they claim to uphold."

Do I think we should spend an entire week debating it? Oh yes.

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

I wonder what Trump thinks about the movie and the lacklustre response 🤔
I watched Melania at a 10 am screening in a Trumpian corner of New Jersey, where I was (naively) shocked to find at least a dozen others in attendance.

It was made by people who loved the books, I think, and it made all the difference ❤️
