Where the real chilling effect should be happening is institutions dumping Proctorio, which is a shit product based on educationally perverse principles to begin with. What a travesty. → https://social.coop/@Ammienoot@social.ds106.us/110232875827481094
Say what you will about Dave Matthews, but boy does he find some tasty #guitar tones.
A #poem: "The Drowning Man Dreams of Different Deaths" → https://fncll.org/the-drowning-man-dreams-of-different-deaths/
Toppling from a tightrope
stretched between your bare knees
Last fallen man in a dance contest
Jumping from a plane wearing a
backpack instead of a parachute
dying, as they say, of laughter
Stomach so stuffed with sweets
the witch can barely cram you
into her glowing oven
Of thirst, mouth too dry to form words
So quickly from the impact
you still can’t believe it
In your sleep
stiffening into
something of an embrace
Speaking of #NepoDing, someone kindly translated some interviews with Ding. Seriously cool given how little of this sort of thing is available in English. And Ding does seem like a good human. → https://old.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/12pd15y/the_meaning_of_life_is_in_those_sparkling_moments/

mention me in a thread to easily get a clickable Nitter link to any Twitter thread. Nitter is an alternate UI for twitter that redirects all traffic and shows no ads. I will only mention the requester and any other folks following me in a thread.
I'm not sold that an exception isn't warranted. But I'm also not convinced it is even needed for chatterboxes to do what they do. Copyright cuts both ways and I am loath to see any expansion. But it's definitely an issue worth time and consideration → https://mastodon.social/@tellio/110214812537263041
