I feel for your students hard. Spec fic feels like it has to outrun the future and the future feels like it’s moving at the speed of light.

Amazed at the number of guys who are willing to give interviews about how since they didn’t find love with women they found love with the computer that’s poisoning people in black neighborhoods
