It’s the final hours of the second edition of my students’ favorite Austen TTRPG, Good Society. If you teach Austen, this is a fascinating addition to your library of adaptations. The Deluxe edition is a clever set of tools that I will be curious to put in front of students.

I'm reading a book by a journalist who gooses every single statistic. On one page 46% is "nearly half" and 34% is "more than one-third." And any number that just needs to sound big is "fully" that number. It's exhausting.

Great profile of the leading AI detector, Pangram, and the people behind it—including a former English major who wrote a thesis on Ishiguro (me too). Fascinating snapshot of our cultural moment with AI, and a sober reflection on the future of the internet, teaching, and human communication.
