Well, that's an interesting and odd development. Turns out a couple books I am co-author on are banned by the Dept. of Defense. Hmm.

NE friends: Given recent/disturbing information about ICE agency chaos (heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-23...), this week might be a GREAT time to call your federal representatives and let them know your thoughts about ICE agents and their work.

Taking a swing at including these "AI"/LLM examples in my syllabi this semester. Good conversations so far with future teachers about the relationship between using LLMs and what it means to be "professional" as a teacher.

PLEASE call your state senators TODAY and tell them that you are against cuts to medicaid in the tax bill. Your most vulnerable neighbors won't "get over it," and these cuts will cause deaths due to lack of medical access and facilities closing.
