question because i don't know or want to assume what is normal: is it an autism thing to often perceive parsing a sentence with metaphors in it as having a discrete step of translating the metaphors, happening after the base sentence itself was understood? or is it just something everyone does (1/2)

As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

Hope this helps

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.

Great explainer in Vox today showing why it’s critical for the right to dismantle any and all regulation of medicine to advance their ultimate agenda, and why this SCOTUS case jeopardizes both public health and LGBTQ protections as a whole.

www.vox.com/politics/463...

This Supreme Court is often sloppy when it hands down decisions that pit the religious right against LGBTQ Americans. So there is a serious risk the justices will hand down a decision that sweeps far beyond conversion therapy. If they interpret the First Amendment to bar any specific restrictions on what professionals can tell their clients, then states could lose the power to prevent doctors from giving dangerous advice to their patients.

Runescape message log telling player to answer four questions correctly in a row, next line saying you get a mystery box, then line saying inside the box is an onion, better luck next time. Next line says the reward is 1 onion. Next line reads you eat the onion. And final line says It's always sad to see a grown woman cry

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

Thank heck for editors. I wish I could afford one for my urban fantasy.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke
