Not only is illustration art, WSJ has artfully illustrated that no matter how rich you get, you’ll never be accepted in old money circles. They think they make culture. We all do, for better and worse.

not sure how to express this without sounding like a chair-turned-around youth pastor, but there's something so radical about having your most well-known lyric be "i will always love you" and then sincerely embodying it whenever possible

did you know that the English words druid, trust, truth, betroth, and truce all share a root word with “tree”? this reflects the longstanding spiritual and symbolic significance of trees in many European cultures

Photo of a Chicago Street with a police car and a semi truck and all over the street are bicycles and bicyclists laying down on the asphalt under a late afternoon cloudy sky.

Photo looking down at my legs on the asphalt and my bicycle lying down on the road next to me. Beyond you can see a number of other bicycles and bicyclists on the asphalt in the street.

Photo looking down a street with several brick buildings and trees along it. All across the asphalt. There are bicycles and bicyclists laying down on the ground.

Another cyclist was just doored in front of Riley O'Neil's memorial on Halsted Street. This happened about one hour ago. The cyclist declined medical treatment from the ambulance and rode away. Unfucking real. You can see the broken car window on the driver's door. #bikeChi

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

When I assign analysis, I am not trying to extract a polished product; I am trying to put the student’s mind through resistance in order to make it stronger. Offloading the struggle to a chatbot does not “free students up for higher-order work.” It deprives them of building the strength to do any substantial cognitive work at all.
