And, to be clear, this is the implicit proposition of tools like Grammarly. Each “correction” tells the student to subordinate their attempt at navigating language to the “correct” mechanical intervention.
Any system that depends on implicitly shaming students for being wrong in good faith attempts at complex thought is not a system that can ultimately produce positive outcomes.

Pops and I weren't talking a lot before he died earlier this year but we never really did a traditional "Father's Day" kind of thing iirc.

Okay people. It is reasonable to feel overwhelmed and want to doomscroll and/or rot in bed. You can still do a lot to take care of yourself and help others in your community. Have you eaten today? Stayed hydrated in the heat? Looked at ways to volunteer? Called your local representatives?

In 2019, the council passed a law that upped the fine for using a fraudulent parking placard from $250 to $500.
But an analysis of more than 20K violations issued from 2020-2024, not a single driver has been hit with a $250 penalty, let alone a $500 fine

City Council’s 'Crackdown' on Bogus Parking Placards Is Itself Bogus, Data Reveals
Thousands of drivers have been repeatedly issued $65 citations for displaying fraudulent parking permits, with some of the worst offenders racking up more than 30 tickets.

Last night I saw Bruce Liu in concert at Carnegie hall and he did somewhere between 4 and 5 encores! Even with some difficult 20th century stuff! Heck yes.
The crowd would have easily taken another 5 encores. Great to be in the company of this energy.
