Some horneros built a nest in front of my office window at the previous house I rented. Those nests are very solidly built.
On the seminary grounds I saw my first hornero nest. The birds build these mud huts in trees and on top of utility poles, and once you know what they look like, you see them everywhere.

9/11. I’m sure if I think hard enough there’s something I can remember that happened in the few years before that, but 9/11’s the one that stuck with me.

“Jurassic Park. Mario. Grogu. Under Armor,” she chanted as she matched up a mountain of socks. This was a large Grogu on a blue background. It did not match the many-Grogu pattern on the white sock.

Ah nothing like reading the Chief AI Scientist at Meta and a“godfather” of GenAi advocate for the outright pillaging of all of our creative works. Thank you for letting us know our livelihoods and work mean nothing, as long as their dear for profit tech has fodder to train with. 👍

Christ, just give me a PhD at this point. If all you need to do to be a college prof is know how to write prompts on ChatGPT, I think I’m more than qualified.
UCLA's AI-loving comp lit prof now says of her AI use, "I feel more empowered by this process. I am more of a teacher than I’ve ever been” and that her use of AI--which will include having it literally come up with the fucking assignments-- is “highly pedagogical and highly responsible.”

It’s really, you can kill people if you have the money to pay for it.
