lol whenever I hear that "reference is cheating" I feel safe to ignore that person's opinions about art from them on

In common practice it is usually pronounced like a large serving of vegetable stir fry: Suey Generous.

In some contexts you might hear the accent put on the second syllable of generis:
SOO-y Ge-NAIR-ris.

Prima facie I would tend to agree.

But it means so much more than “wholly unique”

It literally means New York is a thing that created itself as only itself could create. NYC is self made, born unto itself.

There are a lot of things that are wholly unique, but not all of those are sui generis.

“Sui generis” from Latin literally translated “self created” or more poetically “born of itself”

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

the sooner most people realize white supremacy and rape culture are intertwined, the better. disgusting humans.

This is too good 💯💯💯😳😳😳

“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I died but I got better! No Joko! Balthy is going to be SO surprised. #gw2 #pof

CHICAGO RISE THE FUCK UP

What’s amusing about this is that there are people who will spend six hours refining an AI prompt to get exactly what they want who still can’t be arsed to spend 60 minutes discussing project requirements.

If there is one positive thing I can say about gen AI is that a whole lot of people are learning how to craft a proper (complete) specifications and requirements document.

This racist monster isn't even pretending to talk about citizenship here any longer - he's celebrating foreign-born people losing work REGARDLESS of citizenship.

The Republican Party under Trump is a blatantly white supremacist institution and no Republican deserves your vote.

“The Department of Education said what now? Nursing is ‘no longer a professional degree’? Tell that to the nurses who kept this country alive while half of Washington was playing political cosplay.

The resemblance to AI tech bros is so uncanny!!

Brian Deer's book The Doctor Who Fooled the World

The book that revealed the grift of Bobby's predecessor and now mentor.

And in the case of hospitals, killing the customers.

The people behind the AI bubble are all multi-billionaires. They don’t need a bailout.

They need a financial correction. That means taking the L.

All. The. Time.

He just needs kisses.

Definitely. That would do it.

Especially if they have you locked into a subscription model for their software.

You want to cancel? Oh that will be paying the remainder of the contract plus a cancellation fee of exhorbibucks.

As someone who is hosting and cooking several Thanksgivings this year, including one this weekend, and therefore has already been turkey shopping: Holy, and I can not stress this enough, shit.
