As a kid watching Red Dawn in the 80s, I definitely though the Russian takeover of the US would involve at least *some* tanks

I suppose this is why so many authors are incensed about AI “writing” — it’s clearly just something tech dullards created to compensate for their own weaknesses and now they’re projecting that on all of us.

Look, I’m sorry you suck at writing. But don’t make the rest of us suffer your failures.
Writing is thinking.

It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.
This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

FYI, pup owners and pup lovers. #traderjoes again has in stock these dangerously adorable holiday dog biscuits. Just don't let anyone accidentally eat one (or do!)

If there will be 50 votes in the Senate to confirm Gaetz or Hegseth, then it’s hard to imagine what there *wouldn’t* be 50 votes for.
