Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

It's very unusual for a Texas river to have boiling rapids.

And intriguingly some of the groups who are very, very good at immigration (I'm thinking for example of the South Asian migrant community I used to have ties to) use their skills to engage in serial migration - they quickly dig in deep but are also ready to move on if the opportunity arises. 2/2

Very interesting and no doubt a fruitful thing for policy makers to think about.
But I'm troubled by what the "aptitude for Immigration" concept might turn into in the hands of the right. Could it be a way to sanitize discrimination against less-assimilated working-class migrants? 1/2

At first I thought this was the bottom of a phone or microwave, which gives me ideas for creating an artistic time capsule the next time I'm in a hotel

I love how the video shows the house with realistic clutter. So much architectural media, especially about modernist houses, has a completely sterile and unrealistic absence of "stuff".
It did horrify me to learn that they run heating and cooling in the open-roofed courtyard, though.

Even if these words are a stretch now, my sad hunch is that before long we will start seeing exiles and refugees from the US who fully meet the definition and make our quibbling irrelevant.
(BTW for the record, the individuals in this article aren't all white, nor are they all straight/cis.)

I agree that the terminology of migration is tricky. However, "exile" needn't have anything to do with race or class. Even a wealthy person from a privileged background can be an "exile" if forced out by their government or a "refugee" if displaced by violence, abuse, or disaster.

This was the most complicated patch I've made and used almost all my cables. Trying to document what I did was quite an exercise!
I found some new tricks on the Grandmother and Pam's which I'm going to reuse. There's room for improvement with Plaits.

Thank you, but I'm looking for the missing words "coup" and "constitutional crisis".

I tried this, but many of the political posts don't use any of the obvious keywords.
Maybe you're more inventive at thinking of keywords than I am.

Mutable Marbles, or a clone. A deep, lovely source of patterned randomness for ambient or non-ambient patches.

If you've got the budget for it, a Mordax Data so you can see what the heck your CV is up to. (Among other things. It's also a great tuner.)

One of my litmus tests for people who claim to believe in "liberty" is how they feel about borders.
If they think borders are more than a necessary administrative evil, then they're some stripe of authoritarian nationalists, not libertarians.
