Everything is Al generated these days. It doesn't mean it's fake. I'm still not convinced.

Get a grip. Three arms and a watermark telling you it's Al and you are still doubling down?

Well if it's Al, it's at least true. They ARE arresting journalists. Compare that to Trump's lying record. This doesn't hold a candle to that.

LOL, I went to UR in the liminal space of technology. I got an email on the old system when I was accepted and by the time I actually got to campus they were transitioning to Gmail. They didn't have wifi in the non-freshman dorms until my senior year!

tbf he was a new professor who clearly hadn't considered the cost of all the books he assigned and was rightfully apologetic and made efforts to make them all accessible after that

also, ah, shoutout to the time I took a class with like 20 different books assigned for reading and when I asked the professor to put copies on reserve at the library he replied "is the bookstore out?" And then I had to say "well I'm trying to save money on textbooks bc I pay for all mine..."

getting urinated on would be a less humiliating way to lose a rap battle

Over the course of 16 days, the two artists released eight so-called “diss tracks,” with increasingly heated rhetoric, loaded accusations, and violent imagery. The penultimate song of this feud, “Not Like Us”
by Kendrick Lamar, dealt the metaphorical killing blow. The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive bassline. “Not Like Us” went on to become a cultural sensation, achieving immense commercial success and critical acclaim.

MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.
