What I think we should nurture in students is greater awareness of the fact that writing can be not only a shaper of the inner reality of their thoughts, but a shaper of their knowledge of the w...

I’ve had a scathing respect for my mother’s capacity for premonitions. Scathing, because, she is paranoid, controlling, neurotic, etc Respect, because in spite of her flaws and blatant misuse o...

Try something different. Deepseek: The reigning champ for me in web-based LLM use. It’s quite detailed and accurate, as far as I can tell. It’s also notably less complimentary/sycophantic than ...

I will be brief and spoiler free. I enjoyed the Superman movie. I have a great deal of history with the character and the various characters established in the film. For example, I don’t need...
