The thing that I don’t really understand is people who do intentional multiple drafts but also the final presented product is seemingly a draft?? Why are you preparing not finished drafts? What are we doing??

the world has lost the better classes of its ADHD students

the clarity that comes with knowing a deadline mere hours away speeding towards you like high beams on a narrow two lane shines brighter than all the forests an ai burns to churn out sloppy secondhand writing

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.

we charge our hyundai ioniq 5 around once every two to three weeks at a muncipal charger and i’d say it runs about $9 for 250 miles of range.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

There’s flag football sign ups going on right now and my friend wants me to do it with her. I am intrigued.

Am I doing too many sports/activities? This would be on top of the regular running and volleyball (and weekend pole).
