Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Same in academic publishing. My employer is investing in new AI tools to—wait for it—catch AI usage by authors and reviewers!
Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

Sorry but, and maybe this is some inside baseball thing that I don't understand, but I don't know why it's unreasonable to report statutory rape claims about a major political candidate but the entire "Trans debate" for the last decade has been framed as "some are saying"
I am not defending Landon’s relationship with Epstein. In fact, the NYT didn’t even try to defend it. He left the paper. What I’m saying is that a piece of investigative journalism that exposes a secret, criminal act such as statutory rape requires far more than what is in these emails.
