I love it. At first all the bells and whistles seemed a bit much, but I just ignore most of them and use only what I need. The ability to easily rearrange paragraphs is what really sold me.

One former colleague of mine actively messed up advising students on their classes, so they wouldn’t have to be an advisor anymore. Guess who ended up with all of their advisees….

The complete lack of self awareness… 🤯

Haha, maybe. Some of my Ivy colleagues and acquaintances are absolutely amazing, and some are not. It’s the entitlement that gets me.

I had a friend with an Ivy-league degree who complained to me extensively that they couldn’t understand why they weren’t getting job interviews, because THEY WENT TO AN IVY. That was supposed to be enough. 🙄

NEW: A local Kansas news site published a column critical of Facebook—then Meta banned all their links. I talked to the site's editor about the attempt to silence them and the possibility of lawyering up: www.thehandbasket.co/p/facebook-k...

Until approximately 4pm ET Thursday afternoon, whenever people attempted to share any link at all to the Reflector, they were unable. In screenshots shared with The Handbasket, the warnings varied from saying the content was reported by others as being “abusive,” to labeling the link as spam, as well as a simple upload error. 

Shortly after 4, it appeared most links to the site were posting properly on Meta properties—Facebook, Instagram Threads—except for one: Thursday’s column critical of Facebook.

Highly encourage fyou to apply to the SHA Junior Scholars Workshop or share it with someone who'd be interested! The workshop has been an incredible experience from start to finish.
