Yes. Yes. Yes.

Students use LLMs because they have never, not just now, had enough time & space for learning.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

thanksgiving is a time for people to come together, to celebrate the spirit of unity despite our differences, and to demonstrate that, here is busta rhymes performing "break ya neck" with raphael the ninja turtle

No to the KPOP demon hunters hats on the hosts #macysparade
