@karinfischer @duolingo “To Virtue, Knowledge.” ~ Smith College and I approve this message. Onward, @karinfischer, in the cause!

“Bringing in smart people from around the world is good for the U.S.,” says Luis von Ahn, a founder of @duolingo and a former international student #nafsa2024

@nickmofo Wicked! On behalf of mischievous computational linguists, I thank you.

Definitely in the cause. Loved “This is a field-agnostic call for others to play, resist, and tell stories with us.” Thank you @candwcon. Well done! Yeehaw!

@AF_Academy @melodypugh Thank you, @melodypugh. Sorry I missed this. Mogelson’s candid reporting and critical analysis in The Storm is Here is powerful stuff as we slouch toward — or run away — from a more perfect union. Onward DFEN in the Janetta cause! Hope to see y’all soon.

War correspondent Luke Mogelson spoke at the 16th annual David L. Jannetta Distinguished Lecture in War, Literature, & the Arts at #youracademy. He answered questions about war reporting, fiction versus journalism, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. tinyurl.com/Janetta-Lecture

@snhuprez In the cause, I second this motion @snhuprez. Thank you. Her “History speaks” [1 B, 11] sequence should remind every citizen of a few of our nation’s historical imperfections. We, the People, aren’t there yet, are we?

@Sparbtastic Onward in the cause, Derek. Much respect.

@erinroseglass @weblearning @jorendorff Thanks and greetings @erinroseglass @jorendorff. Y’all are living in interesting times as AI prompt generators are definitely tipping. Yep, 1979 when my software slouched toward the digital heuristic arts to be useful and useable. Onward in the cause @weblearning. Much love!

@weblearning hi derek -- sorry for missing your message! so glad you are enjoying the program, i find it more delightful than the "smarter" writing assistants we see today! it was originally invented by @Hughbedo in 1979 (I believe), and then recreated by @jorendorff in 2020.

Getting the middle finger from your audience isn’t typically a desired outcome for a keynote, but here it was exactly the reaction I was hoping for. Some thoughts on dystopian edtech and software supply chain security from my keynote at LibrePlanet. erinroseglass.com/dystopian-edte…

Pleased to share this announcement in the cause. Institutional innovators in rhetoric and composition? You know who you are. Onward! ccccdoctoralconsortium.org/lauer-award/

@SScottGraham_ That’s true here at USAFA, according to my young entrepreneurial quantitatively curious cadets @SScottGraham_. “O youth! The strenght of it, the faith of it, the imagination of it!”

@markcmarino @otago Wowsers @markcmarino. Code on, mate. You’re an inspiration for us young folks.

Happy to arrive at @otago in Dunedin, NZ, where I am the Centre of Digital Excellence (CODE) visiting chair.

Hook ‘em ⁦@DWRL⁩! Definitely in the cause. Be not afraid, my people. Be smart. Do smart. Do be do. Thank you ⁦@caseyboyle⁩ ⁦@SScottGraham_⁩ . So much for y’all’s Spring Break. youtu.be/9cnfZ5n4ToE

Definitely in the cause! We’ve come a long way, Mister President. Sweet!

Onward in the cause! Thank you, Kris @DuqLibArtsDean. Our work matters more than ev’ah.

@selfe_cynthia @johndan Achievement unlocked. So proud! Be like @johndan. All av-AI-lable means.

@johndan Way to go, dude!! Now this might change people’s minds… 😀✌️

Hey, there's a silver lining to this ChatGPT panic. I just had it write the Strategic Management section of my annual Chair's report.

In the cause! Sane arguments and common sense reasoning in the wake of fear and trembling. Who knew rhetoric and composition peeps are “prompt engineers”? @Tatum_Hunter_, much respect from Plato, Aristotle, et al.

Definitely in the cause @NEHgov. Fascinating eurekas found here. Congratulations, scholars. Onward.
