The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

It’s exhausting having to go through all of my students’ sources so carefully when I suspect AI use. Like - I spend so much more time on them than they do.

Just. Read. The paper. Skim it, even! Please??

Invariably I have found citation errors in all of these β€œsources.” Wrong year of publication, wrong University, wrong journal edition, etc.

And often, even the paraphrasing is just plain wrong, and misrepresents what the author is actually saying.

Because kids asking AI for β€œsupporting research” and aren’t finding and reading secondary sources I’m getting a lot of β€œStevens posits” or β€œSmith writes that…” and then some generic blather usually from the abstract. Sometimes it’s just paraphrasing the title of the paper.

An infuriating β€œAI tell” that has developed in my senior students is the lack of direct quotations in their research papers.

Folks, don't use AI! Don't let your kids use AI. It strip-mines the soul. Stay away!

I just got home from "Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie." This is the first time in my life that I have wished for a bigger social media reach so that I could tell more people that they need to see this incredible movie

Like, I just can't believe that it even exists, we're so lucky

AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Also he should stop throwing together dumb, credulity-straining set pieces one after the other and then relying on his audience to say "oh yes, how absurdist" πŸ™„

I feel like the trailer gave way better than I got in this movie. I liked it far less than I thought it would.

Sinners is a better movie by every metric, IMHO

Trump Regime:
Iran's nuclear program has been obliterated
A couple months later:
Iran is about to build nuclear weapons
Also:
We don't have enough bombs to help Ukraine
A couple months later:
We have an endless supply of bombs to drop on Iran
The Trump Regime needs to make up their damned mind.

Lol, did Trump invent the Shield of the Americas just so he wouldn’t have to admit that hiring Kristi Noem was a mistake

aw, rats, I was so proud of myself for "bro-bgyns" but in reading the replies I see that @schlompkins.bsky.social thought of it first

I stand by my speculum vs. orgasm point

OK, I know the point here is "guy-necologist" (which is a term that I think that trans men use, so hands off, bro-bgyns)

But also it's just so typical that for corresponding health tests women get to have the speculum and men get to have an orgasm

Everyone using a text based app thinking it's the "commons" could use some perspective. Most of America is watching videos, all of us reading text are in small echo chambers and personally I don't see the need to be in one with a bunch of Nazis.

The only reason I wouldn't want it is because they're both so good they each deserve an award. It seems a shame that one would beat out the other.

But leaving Pale, Pale Moon off the list is madness, imho
