Truly what’s worse though: a desk reject in 24 business hours, or a desk reject in 24 business days

Massie probably?

How do you pronounce beignet

This is a good opportunity to shout out Knowledge Fight as the preeminent podcast for doing #1

Do you think Durbin would still be a yes after what’s going on in Illinois?

Oh boy time to play the game of who else is retiring or not up until 2030 besides Peters

Oof so 7 now

Fetterman, CCM… they still need 6 votes assuming they don’t lose Murk or Collins? They’ve also Gallego and Peters as is who didn’t vote for it in Nov either but are also the typical squishies.

Who else can they legitimately count on? Murphy? The NH sens?

If the VRA were to end would Sewell be in serious dangerv

He’s not just one of the Virginia conservatives, he’s like one of the main guys in the far-right election twitter with 100k followers. People hang on this guy’s every word.

That’s the weird thing. It’s not that much closer to the source material! They both deviate in baffling ways, just edge of tomorrow is genuinely a better film.

Agreed. Aside from the art, I don’t think this movie does anything particularly well that Edge of Tomorrow doesn’t do better. The only thing I hate after watching it recently is Tom Cruise’s awful smile. Watch the last scene of Edge of Tomorrow just to feel some awful cringe.

As a bald man, I refuse to listen to new age sociotechnological posturing from someone who is maintaining that hairline.

I think Quebec universities are really leading the charge on a lot of this stuff too. Haven’t seen much of an equivalent outside Quebec except maybe a bit in Mel Slater’s lab and labs that happen to be collaborating with Quebec academics.

Absolutely amazing amount of room for doing this from the theoretical/critical perspective! As someone who has done some of this work from the empirical side, I don’t think I can quite say the same.

“Imagine you could go to a physical Netflix store and pick out one of six copies of the movie Click (2006).”

Wow literally the same. UChicago study?

Oh no I accidentally gave myself existentialism by playing and reading the wrong combination of video game and book, respectively.

Is it me or does this all just read like bad time travel fiction

I just received a review that was really really mean but had a great info in it about how to improve my paper. It’s really hard to keep going back to that review to pull the important insights when I have to read between the lines. It’s an interesting dichotomy that academia can be so (un)helpful.

I know the creative director. Great dude. They put a shitton of work into the lore and art. Excited to hear it’ll be on PS5.

I am no longer taking some of the very mean things in this review seriously.

Got a paper reject where reviewer 1 said I overlooked a chapter in a handbook I should’ve included, and when I went to get the book from my uni library, the librarian told me not a single library in the entirety of Canada has this ($200) book. Kinda betrays anonymity/definition of expertise.

Submitting an article with 16% plagiarism: but it’s APPROACHING non-plagiarism!

Every academic conference in the US is now fucked-fucked, lol.

Hello, I am a researcher of vtuber(-adjacent) cultures and internet personas. More importantly I am always a huge supporter of horrible ideas.

This sounds like reasonable security. What if you registered for an account and then immediately had your laptop stolen by a bicycle thief or nefarious mind who then wanted to submit a bad letter in a .doc format. They’re really keeping you and your student safe is what this says.

When in doubt, the answer is friendship! Or hitting them with different flavors of rock.
