I wrote a 20-page paper in an hour and a half to get it turned in on time. Got an A and a thank you from the prof for it being fun to read.

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.

Disinformation starts at home.

The “guy tapping a small domino that topples progressively bigger dominos” meme.

Smallest domino: “parents using an excuse of "I am checking to see if it’s safe" so they could steal candy”

Largest domino: “cops telling the media people put weed edibles in Halloween candy”

You can tell it’s October when ppl start spreading drug sadism myths about expensive drugs given for free to school-age children, since children usually have the means to purchase more drugs…

Anyways, we actually know pretty definitively that “fentanyl-laced marijuana” isn’t a thing & never will be

My confederate neighbor told me the submarine keeps drowning his sailors so I asked how many sailors he has and he said he just goes to the navy and gets new sailors afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding sailors to the ocean and then his commanding officer started crying

“The confederacy sent into action the world’s first combat submarine, the CSS Huntley, which sank three times in trials, drowning the crew each time (including its inventor Horace Huntley) before sink a blockade ship near Charleston in 1864 while going down itself for the fourth and last time”

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

Don’t know why I didn’t think of it till just now but if Trump is conducting business via Truth Social DM that means Putin has, like, 100% of his private comms compromised, right?

Probably true, but they have at least said it’s part of ActivityPub so maybe that’s more accurate in their case.

I doubt Trump’s people would want to build something that complex though.

A good example of why direct inflation adjustment of this sort is more deceptive than clarifying when applied over very long stretches of time where consumption patterns are very different.

Basic foods (bread/grain) probably devours a third of Cratchet's income, but not the modern worker's.
