I feel sorry for the students who do this and miss out on The Best Feeling when all your research suddenly clicks and you know how your essay is going to answer the question and answer it well. For my dissertation, that happened literally three weeks before the print deadline. It was earned.
AI is killing the college essay as more professors ditch robot-written papers for in-class exams. So now even fewer students are being taught to write well (an energy intensive task!).
Students lose out, bc good writing = good thinking: a training of the brain towards structure, style & substance.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

I am the very model of a new director general
I've worked on many programmes from EastEnders through to Benny Hill
If I see any bias, I will make sure it's ephemeral

an underrated part of this turducken of garbage is Elon posting an image of the Odyssey while discussing the Iliad, but it's all so terribly, terribly pathetic

I'm impressed with how Horowitz has essentially crowdsourced ideas for a new Bond without doing much.

Spent the last week telling everyone my work email is about to change because I've changed my surname.
Email changed this morning, so obviously no one is using the new one: "Becky, your email isn't working!"

This weekend, I was silently lamenting the fact that I don’t get massive spots anymore, taking it as a sign of ageing. My chin has decided to respond to this by producing the facial equivalent of Krakatoa.

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

The greatest moment in TV history was when Jamie Oliver showed children how McNuggets are made and smugly said "Now who would still eat this?" and literally everyone put their hand up and he looked really sad:

There is an old joke about a teacher asking, "What did Watson & Crick discover?" & a voice from the back of class muttering, "Rosalind Franklin's notes."

This is the seminal paper written by Watson & Crick outlining the structure of DNA.
Rosalind Franklin should have been co-author on this publication.
She was just given a meager acknowledgement.
