The point isn't to produce essays, it's to teach students how to think for fuck's sake. The minute you automate that, it's over. You might as well close the course. Which they're also doing. This is an attack on learning, and everyone is just shrugging.

Wait there's an episode about that?!?

Residents of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation, otherwise known as Collins from northern Ontario are still in shock after their community was destroyed by wildfires. They have arrived safely in Thunder Bay as long-term accommodations for the evacuees begin.

“Slavery exhibits at the President’s House have been swapped for the Trump administration’s version: The change happened overnight, allowing the government to switch out the displays and shutdown the television screens while avoiding public scrutiny during the takedown.”

🚨BREAKING: President Trump’s administration installed overnight a new exhibit at the site of George Washington’s Philadelphia home instead of the memorial to the 9 people kept in bondage at the nation’s first White House. National Park Service dismantled the original slavery exhibit in January. 🎁 🔗

Park rangers fined Sandra Shachar for vandalism this morning at the President’s House, hours after the Trump admin installed its version of history. The 72 year old has been posting news articles on the site’s walls since the slavery exhibit was removed. If she does it again, she’ll be arrested.
