So then he used AI to produce a synopsis of his experience using AI to summarize books? Are we supposed to use AI to give us a summary of his AI synopsis?

I think this is one of his clearer statements. He's consistently labeled Republican critics as RINOs. So MAGA candidates won in the primaries = Arizona is (actually) Republican now. Still taking swipes at John McCain.

850,000 fireworks / 40 minutes = 21,250 fireworks per minute. That's 354 per second. But who could prove they're lying, if the whole sky looks like one giant lightbulb behind a thick cloud of smoke, and it's all backed by a 40-minute cacophany of indistinguishable noise? The smog will be epic.

I teach students transitioning to adulthood (18-22 yo in public school). The tools available on their phones are absolute game-changers for some, but only when we can work together to problem-solve and practice, practice, practice. I do worry. I write it into IEPs, and fear not being able to.

Dare I say that Jacob Have I Loved is far worse than Terabithia? It seemed like such a pdphile fantasy that I want to zap the memory from my brain. 14-year-old girl hugs a man old enough to be her great-grandfather and gets so hot & bothered that she remains obsessed with him for years???

And so many other issues. So many. Which then got me curious about Jacob Have I Loved, which someone else mentioned in this thread. I know I read it when I was about 12, but I remembered nothing but the cover. So I listened to that audiobook, too. So grateful for 2x audio speed on both books.

Dang. I never read it, but I happened upon this thread a few days ago and listened to the audiobook out of curiosity. SHEEESH. The whole book read like a 1970s/80s television show where the big twist happens five minutes to the hour, and then it all wraps up quickly and is just over.

Four minutes in, he talks about experiencing his own songs live from the audience for the first time, saying he's hearing his own DNA reflected back to him - and I realize... He's the tree. Colbert set it up perfectly.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Not on stimulants myself, but I have a long history of bracing my jaw while awake and grinding while asleep. I got a referral to a physical therapist who specializes in head/neck/jaw, and that was super helpful. I spent decades not really knowing how to relax my jaw, and now I actually know how.
