Well the problem is that Windows is actively working to shove adware BS down peoples throat. That's what's making the Linux devotees louder than before.

Most diagnoses of “academia” (and many subfields) are actually just English PhDs yelling at each other about stuff in English departments

I can't believe decades of promoting the best donor-fellaters in the land didn't somehow also select for good values and integrity

University governance is broken, and it’s breaking people.

University governance and associated regulatory structures assume the most powerful senior office holders will behave in accordance with the high standards benefiting their station.

I still think the most accurate and consistent way to think about generative AI is that, in every instance, people exclusively use it for tasks that they don't have any respect for or give a shit about.

Idk if Hasan shocked his dog but thanks to that clip going around I do know now how he talks and I figure he's probably going to hell for that anyway

Kelce is wearing a camp-style short-sleeved shirt with a bird print, along with a suede cap, and Mahomes is wearing a white collared shirt, a pink checkered double-breasted vest, and a pale pink tie.

Yea I guess what surprises me is that some people on here who otherwise show pretty solid judgment seem to take him seriously

Seems like jumping to conclusions based on what you want to be true instead of what the evidence supports is exactly the opposite of what you'd want in a professional opinion-haver

Like he was out in front with the whole "ICE got the wrong guy" when they arrested the Des Moines schools superintendent, and also with the whole "the troops won't like being deployed domestically" thing. Neither of these early stances is looking particularly good now, but nobody says anything

It's weird to me how much respect Jamelle Bouie gets on here given how often he falls prey to wishful thinking. He repeatedly overreaches, showing more faith/skepticism than the available evidence warrants, and then people seem to just forget and move on when things clarify a few days/weeks later

It's just fun that journalists can look at a statute that says "no living people on coins" and Teach the Controversy. We're living in a philosophy thesis.
