At work I overheard an RA telling students about AI and how they could use it within their study and I had to do everything in my power to not groan loudly in disgust

kinda tracks (English Nationalism denigrates the GFA so actively threatens Northern Ireland's place in the UK from a unionist pov; the UUP's main rivals in the form of the DUP and TUV have also tied themselves to English nationalist movements in the forms of Labour and Reform, respectively)

the problem with "own the libs" as a framework for any kind of ideology is that you aren't actually arguing within a leftwing framework, you're just uncritically regurgitating far-right thought and rejecting the legacy of people who did directly fight fascist nations

the problem with Tron Legacy is that it focuses on the least interesting character and Tron Ares decided not to just have their hero ai be played by Even Peters

I think most boring late-20s take is that Brown Bread is better because it has a nicer taste when toasted

Good spread too - Butter (which I had been reading for a few weeks before finishing on Sunday), My Year of Rest and Relaxation (Tuesday), I Who Have Never Known Men (Thursday), and The Lonely Londoners (about five minutes ago)

but i can and will say stuff like holy shit way to diminish your accomplishments here and for what?

Taylor Swift says she's not playing the #SuperBowl
Halftime Show because "I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field."
"Like, [professional football] is violent chess. That is gladiators without swords. That is dangerous. I am, [for] the whole season, locked in on what that man is doing on the field. Can you imagine if he's out there every single week, putting his life on the line, doing this very dangerous, very high-pressure, high-intensity sport, and I'm like [she puts on a ditzy voice and face], 'I wonder what my choreo should be? I think we should do two verses of "Shake It Up," into "Blank Space," into "Cruel Summer," that would be great!' This has nothing to do with Travis — he would love for me to do it. But I'm just too locked in."

Whenever I think of William I just think "all people tell me is his mum would be so proud and I ask 'for what' and it's always the wedding and then they rant about Harry for a few"
