I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel
Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

The two virtues of mercy and justice—and their corresponding vices—are inextricably connected. They are like two sides of the same coin. They naturally balance one another.

This is first reported ICE raid at a church. It came five days after the Trump admin. revoked a policy that, for 13 years, had ordered ICE officers to avoid making arrests at houses of worship and other “sensitive locations.”

In Atlanta, immigration agents arrested a Honduran man outside the church he helped plant. Is it an isolated case or the start of a trend?

Leavitt: "The president will be implementing tomorrow 25 percent tariffs on Mexico, 25 percent on Canada, and a 10 percent tariff on China."

Which was increase prices through a tariff war with China…. 🤷♂️
REPORTER: Can you guarantee that those tariffs won't increase prices for Americans, including at the gas pump and grocery store?
LEAVITT: I think Americans who are concerned about increased prices should look at what President Trump did during his first term

Not to minimize what Jimmy Carter did in his post-presidency years, but is it fair to say that perhaps John Quincy Adams did as much or more with his time?
Jimmy Carter has a fair claim to being the most effective former president his country ever had, Todd S. Purdum writes:
