- This is the first Supeman trailer that has me actually excited. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox8Z...

- "Original Sin" has zoomed to #1 on Amazon's new releases list — a real rarity for a book about politics — as Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson share the first scoops from their reporting. Details in today's Reliable Sources: cnn.it/4jVzftx
- I so appreciate this post because it names a discomfort I’ve had reading all the recent stories about student GenAI use: that the students are uninterested slackers. I’ve worked with thousands of undergrads and the vast majority legitimately wanted to learn.

- From now on I’m just going to imagine Jupiter up there zapping asteroids out of the sky with thunderbolts
- Now this is something new--an academic book that was never actually published by the authors and publishing house has somehow nevertheless been for sale at Amazon. People have real copies of who knows what.
