Today I assigned my students an opinion survey in anticipation of various themes in a novel we'll read. Moving around the room to observe their progress, I saw one student using AI to complete the survey. Because he needs AI to tell him his own opinion? Incredible ... and pitiful. 🙄

I want to like Sen. Slotkin. But whenever I hear her talking about where we are and/or what we need to do in response to our disastrous political present, I always feel like she sounds very serious but really doesn't say much at all. Just various ways of expressing, "Things should be different."

Shocked to learn that the political party led by pedophiles and dedicated to protecting pedophiles has created a police force filled with pedophiles.

A new report by the Ohio Immigrant Alliance, released today, pulls back the curtain on a stunning level of sexual criminal behavior within ICE and CBP. Out of 152 cases of identified immigration officials or contractors accused or convicted of criminal behavior, 131 of them, or 86.2 percent, were charged with sex offenses. Seventy-eight of them—51 percent of the entire cohort—"committed sex offenses against children—the single largest category on the list," the report states. Cases involving a CBP officer, the report finds, "are more likely to involve underage victims" than those of an ICE officer. Yet fully half of ICE officers accused or convicted of sex offenses (12 of 24) had a minor as their victim.

Current CO₂ is around 428–430 ppm. Ice cores show it is the highest in 800,000 years. Broader proxy data indicate levels this high have not been sustained for at least 2–3 million years (mid-Pliocene), & some major recent reconstructions push last comparable period BACK AS FAR AS ~14 MILLION YEARS.
