During the 2021 Euros the flat I was looking after had a gorgeous roof terrace. England v Ukraine quarter-final...England under Southgate was just sublime that day. 4-0. Every time they scored a bunch of us ran on to our roof terraces, celebrating together. It's only football. But it was a bit more.

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.

Dems running for president in 2028 should consider pledging to replace Trump's ballroom with a museum devoted to American democracy and all our struggles over it. For good measure, let's throw in an exhibit about Jan 6. END newrepublic.com/article/2101...

“The US admin is announcing the end of the war in effect without having achieved regime change, ending Iran’s nuclear program or eliminating its missile program. Its focus is now on solving a problem which didn’t exist prior to the war: a closed or nearly-closed Strait of Hormuz” - Jim Scuttio, CNN

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

If I were doing comms for any of the progressive parties, I'd be plastering these images - & Badenoch's support for the war - everywhere: "Don't let Trump's man run your services"; "Don't let Kemi put America First"... It's a huge weakness for the right, but it needs punching out to the electorate
