The Dems have “met the moment” of authoritarianism with strongly worded letters. Unsurprising but still disappointing.

Weezer and The Killers both have nonsense lyrics but The Killers get away with it because their lyrics are like “cigarette lady of my dreams, inhale the addiction of a queen” while Weezer is like “Japanese teenage summer, Godzilla atom bummer”

Also important: the Stars have Taylor Wood (nee Malham) and Mackenzie Wood, so Mackenzie Malham competes the set.

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

This is solid! I also usually explain something about the syntax being just a little different than what they expect, re: the placement of adverb phrases and indirect objects.

i am running into a new year
By Lucille Clifton

i am running into a new year
and the old years blow back
like a wind
that i catch in my hair
like strong fingers like
all my old promises and
it will be hard to let go
of what i said to myself
about myself
when i was sixteen and
twenty-six and thirty-six
even thirty-six but
i am running into a new year
and i beg what i love and
i leave to forgive me

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

“Stop demonizing AI!”
Stop trying to colonize education. You first.

I teach college writing, and this is absolutely what has happened with college-age students who use AI.

Exactly! And the cognitive work I do when I’m reading all the books and articles this guy doesn’t want to read is also important to the process of doing scholarship. Habits of mind are everything.
