The university bought Claude AI for students to use.
Here it is at work, denying that the East Wing of the White House has been demolished.
Great stuff, academia.

1) I absolutely do not believe in ghosts and can give an entertaining lecture on how the brain works and can and does produce "ghostly" effects.
2. I believe with absolute faith that there is a vast ocean of shit I don't know.

This is how my Akitas reacted to the spitfire kitten.
Both the dog’s cool confidence and the cat’s bitchiness are hilarious.

The part that blows me away is how many people are *convinced* that the people they're cruel to will learn some kind of lesson that isn't "those people are my enemies who literally want me dead".
Food is a human right regardless of who someone voted for and especially regardless of who their PARENTS voted for and a lot of y’all are scaring the shit out of me. I got a lot of the same when I said no one deserves measles, too, and the way this country thirsts for punishment is just very bad!

I grew up with a pet pig.
1) I knew that creature was intelligent enough to understand that I was too.
2) I also knew it was *thinking* about what to do with me.
I feel ZERO guilt about eating pork. I'm all for humane farming and slaughter, but eating them at all? I'm just first.

i have met a number of pigs, including pigs i later went on to eat (we have small farmers in our family) and quite frankly, getting to know pigs has made me feel even less bad about eating them
they would 100% eat us if given the chance

The inability of the media establishment to deal with being straight-up lied to is a major contributing factor for this mess.
You can just say that the city of Portland is not burning to the ground, Axios. It's a simple, incontrovertible fact.

I'm about 95% sure my dog just thinks my species is incredibly vocal and treats the noises I make as social babble that occasionally has meaning, like I treat a chatty cat's chirps and meows.
"How's my stinky baby after her bath? Does she smell good? Can I have a sniff?", I ask my dog, who not only cannot understand English but also cannot speak it, as I lean in to sniff her forehead regardless
