Scalise: "When a good day for you is defined by how much suffering you can impose on other people, maybe you need to look in the mirror and check yourself at the door and wonder what it is you're up here trying to accomplish."

Worst part about this AI is all the countermeasures professors are having to take which makes it a pain in the ass. I now have to write a research paper with track changes on, and submit them. That’s my dirty laundry. No one’s supposed to see the dumb shit I write on first pass.

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.

The Daily is committed to sanitizing Vought and ignoring what they regard as unsavory ideology. Because engaging with what is actually animating Vought would make it very hard to uphold the “normal politics” framework that defines much of mainstream political journalism.

WIC, which for decades has fed kids and new moms, could run out of funding within two weeks.

Furloughed federal workers are stressing about bills and seeing promised backpay threatened.

The regime’s mass deportation operation, however, continues on uninterrupted during the shutdown.

Priorities.

"While new moms worry about formula for their infants and furloughed federal workers stress about next month’s rent or mortgage, the administration’s mass deportation obsession will continue uninterrupted," writes @tusk81.bsky.social
