it was said by someone like half a year ago that learning how to deliver passable if not good work under both immense pressure and short notice is actually an important part of the college experience and an incredibly useful skill and the person who said that was right

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.

I wrote my first ever play after my scriptwriting lecturer bumped into me at the uni library, & reminded me that the deadline was midnight that night. I thought I had a whole extra month.

I blasted a 90 min 2 hander out in 6 hrs, with no prep, & got my first 1st when it was marked. Fuck "AI".

A professor let me write one double-length paper across two classes I took from him. It counted for basically all of my grade. I wrote 20 pages in three hours a few days before Christmas and got an A.

This had a deleterious effect on my belief that I shouldn't just wing it in important situations.

They are, and the consequences are extremely dire, but that pales in comparison to the much bigger problem: we don't have a legitimate president of the United States right now. What we are to make of his enablers and supporters who have thereby also delegitimized themselves is a secondary problem.

shut the fuck up, nobody cares about sports, if you care about sports or who's playing what sports and in what teams or with whom you're a fucking loser and you should feel bad about it. Jesús fucking Christ, go away, stop agreeing with republicans that we should make laws about fucking sports

When governments begin attacking speech or speakers, platforms quickly begin to comply to avoid potential regulation.

Pushing to regulate "pornography" have meant greater policing of sex, sexuality, reproductive care and queer and women's bodies more generally. Absolutely looking forward to this.

Electronic Frontier Foundation @eff.org · 16h

Across nearly 100 submissions to our #StopCensoringAbortion survey, we saw systemic over-enforcement, convoluted policies, sudden account bans, and ignored appeals. On Friday, leaders from EFF, Plan C, M+A Hotline, and Women on Web will discuss what’s happening and the future of sharing info online.

Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

It's tempting to treat "the American right is a death cult" as rhetorical hyperbole, but when you look at e.g. their enthusiasm for executing people who are *clearly* innocent, no actually these people really do just worship and revel in death and murder

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 1d

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Tim Worthington @outonbluesix.bsky.social · 1d

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.
