Yes, tried it when I saw it and have been doing it ever since. Kewpie mayo. In my little round bowls, makes a fluffy egg that fits an English muffin perfectly.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

AND be aware that ChatGPT will (very frequently in my experience) cite real-looking sources that do not in fact exist, or that do exist but do not contain the information it alleges to be there.

New York Times: Scott Perry Says Democrats ‘Hate the Military,’ Echoing Trump’s attacks. The remarks by the Republican House member from Pennsylvania align with efforts by the president and G.O.P. leaders to portray the political left as un-American.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

Counterpoint | Minnesota humanities graduates thrive in meaningful careers "The stereotype of the underemployed history major is simply not true," professor Andrea Kaston Tange writes.

My latest: "Numerous studies show that majors in the humanities—typically, in departments of English, history, philosophy, religious studies, classics and languages—lead students to employment and life satisfaction outcomes as positive as those for majors traditionally championed as 'practical.'”

Cat on a radiator looking extremely lazy

I cat-sat a kindred spirit a decade ago and took almost the same photo!

Screenshot from statement “Universities and colleges have one mission: to advance knowledge. Faculty carry out the mission by conducting research and teaching students. The knowledge they produce and circulate is independently assessed by professional peers. Interfering with that process by forcing knowledge to pass through a political filter is a tactic adopted by the Soviet Union and other authoritarian states. The White House is dressing up its compact as a reasonable corrective to what it views as problems in campus culture. Let no one be deceived. This proposal imposes government censorship on academia. It is anti-American, and it weakens our democracy by devaluing academic expertise.”

ACLS statement against White House “compact”: THIS IS SOVIET SHIT

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Google result for T Pain and it says Tylenol pain relief full name

This made me laugh extra hard today

Detail of embroidered sampler with a psalm, signed ReBeKaH RoWe in alternating case.

I guess it's anachronistic, but I kinda want to believe that ReBeKaH RoWe was intending sarcasm when she signed this 18th century sampler.
