This is probably the best breakdown of a lot of what’s going down in my field.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

At this point, our intro comp/first-year English course has been so heavily revised, it no longer includes a novel, or "extended reading" of any kind, no "specialized" or "historical" reading, mostly in-class assignments, no research essay...and we are still seeing a 40-50% rate of AI misconduct.

This is not a "students today" post--it's more "this is a new form of dysfunction" that doesn't look exactly like it's been in previous decades. It's more than just "first-year chaos." It's an across-the-board inability to process instructions, engage with longer texts, and *connect* with others.

Lenya was in the studio when Armstrong recorded "Mack the Knife," which is why he improvised the line "and Miss Lotte Lenya!"

Really worrying and infuriating that this got published in a legitimate journal.
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

I have been saying for years that streaming (and cinematic universes to a lesser extent) have brought back the studio system. Closed distribution, a house style, generic interchangeable scores created for mood and Mickey Mousing.
