Important questions to ask every pet owner: 1. What’s your pet’s name and 2. Can I kiss them on the mouth

SCMS has successfully avoided being as splashy as MLA and AHA on this issue, but they shouldn't be allowed to skate by! The largest petition in the org's history was ignored and no statements have been made despite similar statements about Ukraine and BLM.
It is clear that it is time to ask serious questions about the function of professional organizations like the MLA and the AHA when they disregard the democratic procedures offered to their members and when they fail to preserve anything resembling the profession itself.

I watch a lot of horror but this scene from Lost Highway remains the most singularly terrifying thing I’ve ever seen. RIP to a legend.

an underexplored downside to AI slop everywhere is that it's becoming increasingly hard to determine how high you are. I read this synopsis ten times last night before I realized it wasn't a me problem.
