Literally their main thing is their sacred right to accumulate enough weaponry to overthrow the government.

It's so obvious it's barely worth mentioning, but the right believes political violence and punishing their enemies and violent protest is for them to do to the left, and it is an affront to the natural order if done to them. That's it. The hypocrisy is part of the thrill.

the kids are alright

projecting an overwhelming hater energy today

this kind of thing makes me feel like i'm losing my mind. the premise of the project is that we can separate "ideas" from the linguistic forms we use to communicate them. but that's delusional!

“A bottleneck of writing is sentence generation—getting ideas into sentences…That is a big task. That part is really costly in terms of cognitive load.”

The cognitive load you experience while "generating sentences" is what's known in the business as "having ideas"

A general reminder—periodic cicadas pose no threat to anyone and their plant damage is limited to nipping off the ends of twigs. Please do not hose them with pesticide. They are slow and clumsy and confused and only want to make friends with other cicadas and die of sexual exhaustion.

Once again struck that we are expected to take some statement by random student as definitive of the aims of pro-Palestianians but are required to discount the explicitly genocidal ravings of an actual Israeli minister as hyperbolic and irrelevant to assessing the aims of the Israeli government

"I need AI to make comics, I can't draw!" Okay, but one of the most popular webcomics of all time was literally just stick figures. Another one is over 4000 strips of the exact same clipart of dinosaurs. You can make a comic. Trust me, it's really not that hard.

In accepting his Oscar for Zone of Interest, Jonathan Glazer gave a heartfelt speech decrying the cynical exploitation of the Holocaust to perpetuate a cruel occupation through the othering of the defenseless. Unrelatedly, here’s the April cover of the magazine run by a former IDF prison screw.

Every time a beloved mangaka dies I think about how hard they work, how little they sleep, and how much time is stolen in the pursuit of deadlines. I think about my friend Ian, who died from that same pressure, and I wonder what art was left inside of them when their body breaks down.

do the supreme court justices have a group chat? this is the intrusive question interfering with my reading rn

i truly hope this part about teacher excitement is a lie

Knowing that a chatbot is “grading” your assignment is a great incentive for students to give minimum effort and craft assignments that are specific to the dictates of the machine: boring, rote, and drained of creativity and originality.
