Imagine not evolving as a person, ever. Is anyone the same person they were 10 years ago?

Does anyone work at the Department of Labor in NYS? I filed for unemployment the first week in May and haven’t received any update since.

Oh yea, it absolutely is. I like the image though. It is an accurate depiction of the vibes I wrote about in the post. Thanks for pointing that out though. I didn’t generate the photo.

the image in the thumbnail and at the top of the article shows multiple signs of being AI generated, if I'm misinterpreting and/or if it was use mistakenly than i apologize but I'm fairly confident this image is GenAI

this chair is incredibly wonky, where does that leg behind his head go?

that beer glass is very off looking, and the cards are very mishaped and smudgy

Yes, this is an injury to ideals of free speech and academic freedom, in addition to wildly racist, sexist, antisemitic, and doctrinaire.

And also, instituting and enforcing this kind of intellectual and cultural narrowing *makes sailors dumber*

Maya Angelou's "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" was among the 381 books that were removed.
