Hand-written changelogs or release notes are essential: keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/
“Whether consumers or developers, the end users of software are human beings who care about what's in the software. When the software changes, people want to know why and how.”
“Using commit log diffs as changelogs is a bad idea. [...] The purpose of a commit is to document the evolution of the source code. The purpose of a changelog is to document the noteworthy differences to end users.”

I mean if exams are in blue books and hand written, and people taking notes on laptops and other accessible technology have trouble writing by hand, then this is ZERO SURPRISE but I bet @Lollardfish is right it's time for able academics to yell about laptop bans
"Oh but students who have trouble writing by hand can get accommodations via disability services--"

Did you know that accommodations require a doctor's note

And not everyone can afford a doctor

Also some professors are actively hostile to disabled students
I had this one professor who had an "absolutely no laptops" rule and i presented my handy note from disability services

But it was a tiny seminar

I was the only one using a laptop

My classmates asked questions about why I was exempt

It was awkward af

Laptop bans are bad

Setting aside the SUBSTANTIAL ethical concerns around the man himself, I find Trump's policies to be a combination of foolish and actively malicious, on such a scale that I could not fit the problems in a dozen tweets. So I'll pick one - it is an overt pay to play administration
That is to say, numerous positions of authority have been given to people who have given a lot of money and who stand to make even more money from those positions, with no consideration of expertise or past experience.
This does not seem a particularly debatable point, though I'm sure there are some who would. That's fine, because they kind of illustrate a point - while this behavior is terrible, and I will ABSOLUTELY vote to end it, it was by no means *surprising*.

In the talk 'The Fourth Frontier', @BretWeinstein provides an explanation for political chaos unlike any that I've seen. He grounds it in evolutionary biology, and the results are somewhat terrifying.
I've attempted to combine the central theme of 'The Fourth Frontier' with other content I've found on @BretWeinstein's YouTube channel . Here it goes.

1/x In 1934, W.E.B. Du Bois published what to this day remains the most sophisticated sociological study of Reconstruction.

3/x The first two paragraphs explain that the book will attempt to tell the story of Reconstruction through the experience of Black people.
