Person 1: welcome home. Did you have a good day looking at screens at work?
Person 2: yes, my screens were good. How were your screens?
1: they were less good, so I’d like to watch something on the big screen in our house.
2: okay, but I might use my small screen while we watch.

Fundamentally, Footloose and Rock the Casbah are the same story.

Also: by doing this you condition them to not do the readings for your class. Why would they?

I hope there’s a post-credit scene at the end of the Mr. Rogers movie where Bob Ross shows up and teases the PBS Cinematic Universe.

Trump has only used "infested" on Twitter 6 times, but every time he's used it the purpose was to describe places where black and brown people live as vectors of crime and disease.

I find it interesting that both the "use extensive, clear rubrics and many low-stakes assignments" and "don't issue grades but just give feedback" camps claim that their approach is more inclusive. jessestommel.com/how-to-ungrad
