“Why weren’t faculty consulted?
On the contrary, Skynet was trained on an extensive archive of pirated humanities articles—hence its misanthropy, overuse of the em dash, and proclivity for always already predictively adding “already” after “always.””

What they’re trying to cut off, is the degree prison abolition and discussions around it are making progress. They’re just not going to say that, so they use this kind of bullshit to start building in the psychological bulwarks against it, and waste time arguing vocabulary.

And if you had to guess, who do you think Senator Tim Scott co-sponsored this "No Ransom Payments Act" with?

That's right. Current Trump Secretary of State MARCO RUBIO.

This concludes my thread. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

2026 NBA playoffs: Why the youthful Rockets' hopes rest on Kevin Durant, the oldest man in the room The Rockets' season has been centered on a legend yet to slow down and an organization that made the biggest offseason move just for the privilege of greatness.

I think there's some AI slop in this article, but what has me up in arms is the bracket that erases the Sonics, clearly the writer's fault, not Durant's:

"I feel like it was good for me to come in at a slower pace — from early [Oklahoma City days] until...."

I wrote a piece this year, & was happy to have it on this platform and get some reads. But I agree with David: it would be nice to get paid. I had no idea they have an 8 million dollar revenue stream, which I know sounds more than it is, but next to a token 100 it's quite a lot (80k times more).

I'll say this for AI: it makes me much happier as I read papers written by students with very undeveloped writing skills, and as I put together the comments that I hope they will be able to use to become stronger writers.

I'm so, so happy you wrote this yourselves, students!

they can only allegorize their coverage of Trump, because of course they see it but they are instructed to see no oligarchy, hear no oligarchy, speak no oligarchy.

Do you or one of your colleagues need an index created for a book in the humanities?

I make beautiful indexes (yes, such a thing does exist!)

I have space to take on 1-2 additional projects in April/May. Get in touch!

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.
