It’s a writing course, so they’re not allowed to use AI for writing. The links alone aren’t a problem, but it’s a red flag. And looking at their Google doc version history usually shows they didn’t write their own assignment.

I've seen Hegseth's pullup form. I think I could mimic that.

Tuberculosis. It’s the cool new social network among the youth - can’t believe you haven’t heard about it yet. Really catching on.

More than 40% of respondents were unsure if a given situation is legal in their state. And that uncertainty is greater among people with less education.

(There's super interesting findings when you break down these results by opinions on abortion, but you have to read the blog post for that.)

Turns out there's a fair amount of uncertainty, and people with less education are more likely to be unsure.

If people don't know what constitutes an abortion, how do they know what's legal in their state?

Well, turns out they don't.
