I am very tired of chatGPT. The prospective grad emails that all have the phrase "I have read your work on [an abstract that I was 5th author on]" and then go on to say nothing about how they fit with what I work on.
I hate to say but if you're not writing the email I'm not responding to it.

Micro-mobility users, whether on bikes, wheelchairs, or scooters, deserve their own safe infrastructure, instead of fighting over scraps of space with pedestrians or cheating death alongside cars.
As a bicyclist what I would really like more than anything else is to not be treated like someone on foot and also not treated as if I am encased in a half ton of safety measures and a big ass engine

I can’t understand how people can’t understand. You’ve got someone who makes lying, racism and minority bashing, greed and violence officially sanctioned and modelled daily by public figures. If that’s how you yourself are inclined, of course you’re likely to support the guy.

A reminder Don, Jr. has been awarded $600m in defense contracts despite have no established ability to deliver.
Trump’s “fraud crackdown” list is a political hit list. He targets his critics and attacks the watchdogs who actually root out waste. Meanwhile, he continues to pardon allies who stole millions from taxpayers. The real fraud is pretending Trump is helping the American people.

2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
