now that i teach i cannot express enough how much i want to read whatever a 19 year old comes up with at 2am on their roommate's vyvanse. that nonsense is worth 100000x any AI output
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.

Dolly Parton is living proof that it’s possible to become successful and stay a good person who gives back and I love that so much
I hear she has supported school bands as well: www.thepinknews.com/2022/10/10/d...
Dolly Parton quietly funded Black school bands: 'The woman is a national treasure'
Dolly Parton paid for band uniforms and instruments for kids at majority Black high schools with zero publicity, a writer has revealed.

Top *eight* articles on NYT devoted to Charlie Kirk, top one asks if he will be remembered like MLK. This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.

"Not all homeless people deserve involuntary lethal injection" is one hell of an apology.
Brian Kilmeade apologized for his comments about homeless people getting lethal injections this morning on Fox & Friends, saying "so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion."

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔

The reason the media is lionizing Kirk and polishing his image is because he was one of them.
He was part of their in group. They have to circle the wagons and defend him for fear someone else in their group will be targeted.
They don’t care about his abhorrent views.
