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.

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.

🎯 @robsandia.bsky.social on Private School Vouchers (for the wealthy) — “CALL THEIR BLUFF… if they want public dollars, they should have to follow the same rules as public schools… it’s not a ‘COMPETITION’ when not everyone is playing by the same rules.”

Great piece on Trump's 'Quiet, piggy' moment. This phrase could be the new shorthand way to explain how abusers silence their victims. Keep quiet or be punished cruelly.

Heidi Stevens: After Trump’s ‘Quiet, piggy’ moment, we’re done asking why survivors don’t come forward, right?
If we’re going to become a nation that truly protects children and women, we have to stop giving a pass to sexual abusers, writes Heidi Stevens.

50 years ago tonight, ABBA was the musical guest on SNL.
They performed SOS and Waterloo as the dance band on the Titanic. Robert Klein was the host.
And, I was born. (Well, not that year) 😂😂
