@n_hold Ok so I haven’t actually read the Eagleton in defense of religion essays but I just got back from a conference with a bunch of leftist Catholics so I’m in my soft on god era
@matthiasellis rent control is "me-first"?!?!?!!!?!!
@n_hold @BigMeanInternet Excited to pay rent on my own brain

@Pontifex Holy Father the post will perform better if you append the url in a threaded reply as opposed to linking it in the tweet
@BigMeanInternet @chap42chap I had to look it up and damn he was so real for this

Yup. My pedagogy has been AI-proof for years 💪
It’s amazing how everyone is lamenting the way AI makes it impossible to assign take-home essays anymore when you can just give students in-class exams with true/false questions.
@BigMeanInternet My unscientific impression based on teaching a couple hundred kids a year: different demographics. There’s also a middle ground of kids who are ambivalent. But I find that the ones who are vocally anti- are not using it for classroom work.
@ragandboneshop @BigMeanInternet I hear this constantly, too (I teach history of media technology)
@nuhawrites I don’t teach composition but whenever I imagine what to do in that scenario I have a hard time of it. I do not envy everyone trying to figure out how to teach that absolutely critical class and skill in this moment!
I have seriously considered the following for large lectures: Final grade based on a combination of (tough) exams and (easy) in-class activities. Writing a paper is optional. Not extra credit. Optional. Won’t affect grade one bit. The reward is deep, engaged feedback

Her favorites were the GPO documentary NIGHT MAIL, the Faith and John Hubley film MOONBIRD, and any of the Norman McLaren films with dots and blooping sounds
There was this brief but wonderful golden age of my parenting in which I was able, through a combination of screen-deprivation and sheer hype, to watch my favorite experimental films with an emphatic and easily impressed toddler
5yo just told me the promotional reel playing in the cheese department at the grocery store is the best movie she’s ever seen. May have overdone it on the no screens thing
@DanArndtWrites @freganmitts Kind of the case except for her being more famous for other ventures ;) nymag.com/strategist/art…
@DanArndtWrites @freganmitts Typo! Amy Sedaris! lol
@DanArndtWrites @freganmitts Yes and any Amy Sedalia gift guide would be full of good ideas in this genre
@BigMeanInternet @beingmmm Do they not exist (e.g., we have to use the same old apps but fewer people are being paid to develop/maintain them)? Or are people for some reason reluctant to call an app AI-built? Or is it possible that the wrong audience is seeing this? I am genuinely so curious...!

I feel so bad for the kids these days. The price spread between the donation bin and luxury consignment has totally collapsed. In my youth, if you knew even a little bit about fashion, this gave you enough information asymmetry to utterly dominate your local charity stores.
