it was said by someone like half a year ago that learning how to deliver passable if not good work under both immense pressure and short notice is actually an important part of the college experience and an incredibly useful skill and the person who said that was right

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

THEY'RE CALLED MECHA, COOP. REAL WACKADOO STUFF THE BOYS BACK AT LANGLEY HAVE BEEN COOKING UP. ENORMOUS ROBOT BODIES THAT'LL WIN THE NEXT TEN WARS. BUT HERES THE KICKER: THEY CAN ONLY BE DRIVEN BY MALNOURISHED TEENAGE LESBIANS. TRANSGENDERS TOO IF THEY'RE MALNOURISHED ENOUGH.

chotiner’s real gift is very quickly revealing how many powerful and influential people are complete morons. Sunstein is asked about his friendship with Kissinger and it’s pretty clear that he’s never really thought about it.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

America's turn toward anti-intellectualism following the election of George W Bush means that our own local rednecks are no longer interested in or capable of this type of scientific research

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World

because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

David Burbach 🌹 @dburbach.bsky.social · Jun 29

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · Jun 28

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

I just beat the True Ending of StarVaders and, as a terminal deckbuilding roguelike addict, I gotta tell you, you HAVE to get this game. There’s so much to love about it, and MAN, does it feel good to play. Absolute six-out-of-five-star stuff. Support indie devs, and have a killer time doing it!
