Last year I asked some of the reporters below for great sports or human interest article recs for my high school class.

The great Zucchini is now part of our class culture.

What articles stood out this year? @tylerharper.bsky.social @brucearthur.bsky.social @jeffpearlman.bsky.social #edusky

I had access to GPT-5. I think it is a very big deal as it is very smart & just does stuff for you

This is “make a procedural brutalist building creator where i can drag and edit buildings in cool ways" & "make it better" a bunch. I touched no code

RSS is the *real internet*
It's what really enables podcasts to exist, not Spotify.
Newsletter: In a media landscape dominated by algorithmic feeds that aim to manipulate and extract, sometimes the most radical thing you can do is choose to read what you want, when you want, without anyone watching over your shoulder.

Here’s how to use RSS.

@emollick.bsky.social hey Mr. Mollick!

My small town highschool students are making a short documentary about implications of LLM and genAI on their career options exiting highschool.

Any chance you can jump on a video call to be interviewed for it in the next couple weeks?

The Canadian government is looking to sign a 25-year contract for cloud computing services.

Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle are currently shortlisted, but after the threats from Trump, Mark Carney says Canadian companies will be prioritized if the Liberals return to government.

Judge Seagram was one of the most generous Law 12 guest speakers I ever had. Thoughtful, measured, engaging.

What a fun new chapter. Great story!
The next time you see a busker, it might just be a former judge. I wrote about Philip Seagram, who left the courts behind to play his music on Canada’s streets.
