In "DSC 13: Goodbye Friends, Goodbye" I wrote about finding Scott Enderle's StackOverflow posts randomly when trying to solve a problem, even after he died. I loathe the idea of all those digital footprints of his getting turned into AI slop, and losing that trace of him in the process.

I have taken
the grant funds
that were in
your NEH account

you were probably

for humanities research, training, and outreach.
Screw you
