“Roblox aesthetic is key to 2010s nostalgia" is a sentence I just wrote for a handout. That's how my morning is going.

Actually there’s a great Bengali expression for this, which literally translates something like “the critter inside the head is moving again”

Two movies that proved to be decidedly much better than word of mouth had me believe - ‘Babylon’ and ‘Materialists’. The first is exquisite, the second I’m hoping to teach soon. Wondering if ‘The Bride’ is suffering from a similar problem.

what is an experience you've had in the past, that still seems unreal? when i was 15, I got to see the Taj Mahal for hours on a moonlit night, after it had closed for the public, with only a few security personnel and dogs for company.

It was, by every measure, a banner year for The American Vandal. Every episode is my favorite episode, but here were 2025's top 5 by downloads, starting where you would guess. The episode cited in Slate, Defector, etc. It coined a slogan. The first of 3 appearances by @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social

in combination with this, i am also increasing the portion of in-class writing in my courses and reducing 'homework'. they write things, we discuss it right after. I have to say in general they don't hate it, I imagine not being in a position where using AI to write could be an option, is freeing
