I'm teaching "Military Coups and Dictatorships in Latin America" this semester. The second half focuses on U.S. intervention, with readings on the CIA, Guatemala in 1954, Chile 1973, and Operation Condor. It's the only way to get students to grasp what the U.S. has done to the region.

9. If you use Al to write something for you, it is meaningless and we'd all be better off if you had never said anything in the first place. This is the thing: Writing is meaning. The reason we write things is to express some sort of meaning, to pass along important information, to convey a human emotion or sensation. It doesn't matter whether the writing is grammatically correct, or vividly expressed. It matters that it came from you. That is the point of writing. If you ask a Chatbot to write something for you, you are being fundamentally unhuman and foundationally dishonest. I am not going to bend on this one. If it requires an Al bot for you to express something to me, you and I are probably not actually friends.

Academics- what is the popular “conference swag” right now? I’m organizing a conference and I need ideas on what to order. #academicconference
Add nepotism...her dad was the Commandant of Cadets when she attended.
For me, it's the teaching that feels so pointless. I don't want to type another reading quiz or tell students that their essays need thesis statements...I want to save this country.
