I finished multiple college papers on the shitty Google Docs phone app right before they were due at 11:59pm on busy weekend nights working at a restaurant, literally bullshitting papers in between closing out my tables, doing sneaky shots with my coworkers & then closing down a giant patio

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.

Instacart DoorDash Uber etc etc are luxury services made affordable for average Americans by the exploitation of the underclass, especially immigrants, and I'll die on that hill

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

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.

Lowered the goal since I won't need to cover an 84 day antiviral treatment. Everything goes to paying bills and catching up after all the work I've missed. Thank you all, you've been amazing ❤️

I knew Dolly was fine, you know why? Old women love to pull that shit on each other. I once called my grandma in a panic bc some other old bitty on FB was posting "PRAY FOR ____ SHE HAS BRAIN SURGERY TODAY" and it was just as follow-up appt after a minor stroke. Shit like this happened often lmao

My ears are fine, my lymph nodes are back to normal, it's either my sinuses or teeth, amoxicillin time

I imagine if it's not my ear, an urgent care provider can at least give me an antibiotic Rx until I get it with a dentist? Idk man

NooooooooOO

Sciel's theme in particular from the Expedition 33 OST feels so raw and vulnerable it makes me want to cry, and that's before even looking at any French translation. It could be cut from a Tori Amos album.
