Ugh, do you ever read a beautiful sentence and both feel blessed to have read it and also filled to the gills with despair because that's never coming out of your pen/pencil/word processor?

No?

Oh yea, no, me neither.

What is this melodramatic cinematographic deliciousness?

Look, we all agree this is amazing. But we used to live comfortable in the understanding that you had to invite Chotiner in, like a vampire.

Now we know that Chotiner might strike at any time, like a velociraptor.
my goodness:

Chotiner: who funds this shit
Ben Smith: How dare you ask such a question. Check your facts!
Chotiner: I have now checked my facts. A thread (1/381)

It's almost Spotify Wrapped season for those who celebrate, and the big question in my mind is whether they learned their lesson last year. I'm convinced last year's inexplicable looking-creative but actually being sort-of-boring-and-nonresonant was the result of heavy AI reliance.

hey hey #POD25 - if you're still around Saturday afternoon, attend our workshop-in-a-box on improving pedagogical feedback!

You'll experience the workshop but also receive materials to modify it into lunch-n-learns, faculty learning communities etc. - slidedecks, icebreakers, worksheets...

In other news, Etsy shops: killer opportunity here.
