To become dependent on ChapGPT is to evacuate yourself from your own life.

I was asked to write a column about my columns, which I found an embarrassing experience. But ... I took the chance to wax rhapsodic about the value of studying the humanities. So that's nice.

He moved back to Minnesota because it is a state that believes in serving the public good. But, he writes, Minnesota is not always at its best.

I thought a squirrel climbed up the tree next to me, well… I turned around and uh, it was NOT a squirrel.
A raccoon staring at me from its perch in a tree, its little hand is visible, very cute

Brown is out! They had to do more dancing in their letter because they previously capitulated and needed to reference their previous agreement but, at its core, this reiterates MIT's letter.

The clock is now on for all other institutions.

This was in #SixtiesSurreal but it could also have fit into the COOL sections of #Superfine : Tailoring Black Style.

Think they had a Barkley L. Hendricks, too. 🤔

Nickelodeon Chewology (1996-circa 1998): A Nickelodeon-branded science project in a box, that allowed you to make your own cherry-flavored bubble gum. From the makers of "Gak" and "Floam".
A purple box with the iconic orange Nickelodeon "splat" logo at the top. It has the image of a mad scientists' lab set-up, with beakers and tubes, filled with a red and pink goo, with a bubble being blown out of one end. The box reads "Chewology Bubble Gum Lab" in front of a green slime splatter

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.
