Really important findings that document and support with evidence what many of us might have already thought was going on.

Staffer picked up on the first ring in Warnock’s office.

If you wanna call Senator Ossoff, I got the voicemail system and it timed me out at about 60 seconds. I guess that’s reasonable for a voicemail but you gotta talk fast!

If you live ing GA’s 3rd Congressional District, I was able to call Congressman Bryan Jack’s office and speak to a staffer. No wait, only one ring and they picked up. You gotta call and express your concerns, people!

Proud parent moment: my 19-y.o. college freshman daughter tells me she got 100s on the first two reading quizzes for her survey Human Geography course after reading only the introductions and conclusions for each article and skimming the rest, like I taught her. “Dad, you taught me wonders!”

Spotify plays Smashing Pumpkins music from early 90s with a cover photo omitting D’arcy, followed by Linkin Park stuff from the mid-00s and image w/o Chester, because this is what AI does. It’s like a “real-world” example of what students do when they AI their history reading response assignments.
