The re-emergence of phrenology, especially in the 21st century, was NOT on my bingo card. I remember first learning about it in a science for non-majors course in uni YEARS ago. Our whole class thought it was, crazy, ridiculous, & almost unimaginable for it to have ever been a "respected science."

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.

Thirty original paintings by Bob Ross will be available for sale beginning next month through the auction house Bonhams, the artist's estate said. The proceeds will benefit public TV stations that have been grappling with funding cuts by the Trump administration.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

It’s adorable when guys dismiss Jane Austen as saccharine romantic fluff because I suspect none of her critics will write novels of such sharp comedy and keen understanding of human nature that they’re still being read by millions of people 250 years in the future.

mercaptor is such a shitshow that it even disadvantages the countries it was designed to boost. For instance, how many ppl actually clock that Sweden is bigger than Germany
