Not surprised by this. Frogs can lay up to 5,000 eggs at a time. There will be more frogs

But like, IMO (😅), whispering is an intentional action in consideration of volume, whereas *speaking gently* reflects a more emotional state, often in consideration of the recipient. Riiight? 🤷‍♀️

Literally got an email after this for teaching students AI literacy so they can assess AI output in their writing process. 🙃🫠

The virtual Teams message pings; a disapproving 3D avatar pops up.

“Diaz, we're going to calibrate essays. When are you going to get on board with MagicSchool Essay Generator Version 12.0?”
She hastily scribbles a reply by carrier pigeon. “WITH MY LAST DYING—”

How I feel at work rn:

The year is 2036. Mrs. Diaz’s students are drafting their essays by quill and ink in the dying candlelight.
A student speaketh. “Mrs. Diaz, are you sure we can't use Grammarly because—”
“No!” she cries.
“But all the other—”
“I care not for the foul deeds of others!”

Grim Portents banner ad featuring a skeleton hand holding a feather and emerging from an open book. The title is on a burning banner that envelops the feather and a large beast looms over it all. At the top, the tagline reads: Welcome to the first day of the end of your life…
