Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Ya I got into this program that prepares us for the academic job market and the cohort got a speech on not using ChatGPT, they can tell cause the essays look exactly the same…
I have some more bad news.
If an admissions committee even suspects you used ChatGPT for your application letter, they'll almost certainly decide not to waste a precious admissions spot on you.
Instead they'll give it to, you know, someone who actually likes to write and knows how to do it.

I have some bad news. One, if you need to use ChatGPT for your graduate application letter, you are not ready for graduate school.
Two, no, not "everyone is doing it" and those who don't do it aren't "losing out." ChatGPT is not an advantage.

It's a shame more white men over 35 aren't yelling at them then. Get to work.
ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

This and Mamdani’s revocation of all EOs after Adams’s corrupt bargain are the template moving forward. No nibbling around the edges; total bulldozing.

Most models are now showing a storm developing off the Mid-Atlantic coast Sunday into Sunday night.
Most models also keep that system too far offshore to give the DC area accumulating snow. We will, of course, monitor for any shifts.
