and, if I'm not being naive, insist that students WRITE
REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.
because that's the smirking ruse of neoliberalism
getting propped up like this is why the so-called AI bubble isn't going to just sink or swim according to the free market values of the supposed classical liberals cheering this shit on

FWIW every olympic curling match tonight was better sport than the sports portion of the superbowl
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
Every time you hear that such and such major is being eliminated because it isn't popular or it doesn't make money or it doesn't serve the streamlined mission of the institution, you should think about the WaPo cuts.

Seriously considering getting a ticket to see the Melania documentary so I can eat the surprisingly good cheeseburger of the nearby dine-in movie theater in peace with nobody around to bug me about talking during the movie or being on my phone

this tweet must have tested well in focus groups
Polymarket had the odds of U.S. civil war by the end of the year at 17% when I looked there a few minutes ago
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
