I would definitely read a 5,000+ word essay about similarities and differences between the Honey Badger and Jimothy and what all of that can tell us about what qualities people value in contemporary society and why.

Republicans are insisting that Mitch McConnell is not dead. Rather, they say, his soul has been divided into seven pieces which have been placed into various horcruxes, while what remains of his corporeal form slithers through the Forbidden Forest feasting on unicorn blood.

Just pointing out an alternative explanation for this graph: the midterm was easy and the final was hard. This could happen without take-home vs in-person and AI-based cheating. That’s not to say that students didn’t cheat on the midterm, using AI or otherwise. But the graph alone doesn’t prove it.
