The way I feel about AI in education has given me insight into the way others seem to feel about certain political issues, where anyone who advances a "nuanced" view is suspected of moral corruption.

I think it’s great that the main invention of the tech industry this decade is a climate killing automated nonsense machine that makes people cognitively stupider by using it and all of the corporate world is relying on it to eliminate jobs (while killing the social safety net)

BONUS: We've clipped out the flow chart from Issue 23, so you can work out how much you'd be worth in ransom. How much would you go for?

That here at the end of humanity we are still blessed to watch Christine Baranski and Cynthia Nixon argue in period dress about temperance. Mercies and wonders.

someone on here claiming that women don't "break" the form of the novel and I just. I need to leave the internet.

As much as people say this, I just don't believe it. (Maybe I'm naive.) If you're an undergraduate, could you please tell me (1) whether you regularly read books, and (2) your impression of how common that is among your peers.

'Homage to Mistress Bradstreet', by John Berryman; 1st US edn. illus. Ben Shahn, which Edmund Wilson saluted as 'the most distinguished long poem by an American since T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land".' If only someone would publish an annotated edition of this masterpiece!

you can’t spell “authoritarianism” without “a” and “i”

Jewish Currents is hiring an executive editor to help lead the magazine. This person is a generalist, as comfortable editing hard news as with book reviews. A penchant for long-form reported features, and great with troubleshooting difficult pieces. Link in next tweet.
