I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

CHARLIE BROWN: I'm depressed.
LUCY: It’s because of mainstream media cowardice. In an age of lies, telling the truth is a huge risk. Are you afraid of being silenced because of your “privilege”? How ’bout for the crime of listening to a diversity of opinions?

uniquely hellish experience to have no voice on your last day of class while also flinching at any phone call or text that you get in case it’s about to confirm that your Papa, who raised you, has died. oh, and it’s ten degrees, and i’m here until 6:15.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Is there an untranslatable German word for “the feeling of losing a grandparent who is functionally your parent, and most people don’t quite understand your grief, but you would feel like a jackass if you tried to tell someone who has lost a parent that you understand their grief?”

Welcome to your neighborhood gay bar. We’re playing Slayyyter at 30 decibels above the recommended safe level while a loop of Norma Desmond scenes play on mute on our TVs. Here’s your vodka cranberry that’s 85% vodka, 15% cranberry. That’ll be $5.

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

This week I got the two best compliments I could ever receive:
1) "You can historicize like a motherfucker," and
2) "Usually when I see someone's list of favorite films, I feel like I know them on a deeper level. When I see your list of favorite films, I feel lost and confused."

Me recommending Mona Awad's "Bunny" to friends: It made me have vivid emotional flashbacks to PhD coursework and sickened me to my core. I had to take it one chapter a day because I felt the plot too deeply. It's one of my favorite books of all time, 10/10, perfect piece of art.
