For me, writing it out has always been part of the process of learning. Not surprising outsourcing that step has negative consequences
“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.
Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

Political journalist Olivia Nuzzi has dazzled the media with scandals, but her prose is less sparkling. Her much-anticipated new memoir is rife with arrogance and thin on sourcing.

"Now warn"? Are the lawyers just reading social media and seeing the posts about this being the paradigmatic illegal order?
NEWS: After taking credit for many already legally-iffy strikes, Pete Hegseth is now hiding away from a reported double-tap strike.
Why? Well, per sources, even Trump admin lawyers are now warning higher-ups: the strike may have been blatantly illegal.

This is true of adult converts, but is also true of American Catholics at large with respect to end times theology. We swim in extremely millennialist waters, it’s in our media, and we don’t realize how particularly American much of it is
you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

It sucks that in the 20 years since Culpepper, there’s been 2 years of Teddy where I could have hope that the Vikes were developing a young QB and that’s it. Ponder and JJ immediate duds, otherwise retreads

Curious how I’m going to react emotionally when this happens. It’ll be the first time I have enough in the market to lose something when it goes south.

Not being defensive is important. getting wrapped up in Southern identity is a choice. You didn’t lose the civil war, your side won because you are an American. You, as a young white Southerner, were not on the wrong side of civil rights. Your side won! The good side! Be proud of that
Never stopped being a Texan or a Southerner. He wrote beautifully about the tragedy of the South, how the white Southerner really SHOULD recognize their kinship with the black, that their destinies were entwined, etc.
Didn't feel the need to be defensive about it though!
