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.

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Screenshot of David Simon interview
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It seems impossible that any of this happened, but it did

The popularity of “John Brown’s Body” among Union soldiers was a testament not merely to Brown’s rehabilitation but to his canonization. Like the Biblical prophets whose imprecations he echoed, Brown had little honor in a country which he believed to have invited divine judgment for its sins. But his words, deeds, and death were sanctified when the war came. In 1857, Illinois Senate candidate Lincoln pronounced Brown a fanatic, insisting that “not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary” to achieve abolition. In 1861, President Lincoln, still hoping to avoid war, was reported as saying that “emancipation would be equivalent to a John Brown raid, on a gigantic scale.” In 1863, Abe the Emancipator commanded thousands of troops—including former slaves—who marched to kill enslavers and liberate their captives, singing of a “terrible swift sword” not unlike the one which Brown wielded at Harpers Ferry. It was fitting, then, that at Cooper Union—the site of Lincoln’s most extended denunciation of Brown’s actions—Frederick Douglass recruited Black troops for Lincoln’s army by promising that “[e]very honest soldier who marches into Virginia goes there to carry out the object that led JOHN BROWN to Harpers Ferry.” Reluctantly but ineluctably, Lincoln proved Brown right.

A plant rather than a mushroom, but I love to catch Monotropa uniflora (ghost pipe) before it has bloomed. In the Ericaceae family, which includes blueberries and cranberries.
