“As Americans sit down on Thanksgiving Day to gorge themselves on the bounty of empire, many will worry about the expansive effects of overeating on their waistlines. We would be better to think about the constricting effects of the day's mythology on our minds.” www.alternet.org/is-the-first...
Thanksgiving? No, thanks.
One indication of moral progress in the United States would be the replacement of Thanksgiving Day and its self-indulgent family feasting with a National Day of Atonement accompanied by a self-reflect...

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

It’s sad that “soldiers shouldn’t commit crimes” is a brave position for a Republican to take.

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.

That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

75 years later, Thanksgiving staple Jiffy corn muffin mix still costs less than $1
Jiffy corn muffins are an iconic, low-cost pantry staple introduced during the Depression. Thanksgiving is peak season for the company, which has been run by the same family for five generations.

How are people establishing and dealing with different attitudes to LLMs with their collaborators and co-authors?

Two colleagues have told me they now have an explicit conversation at the beginning of every new project to establish a clear agreement on what is/not acceptable to all partners.
Look, LLM use in academia isn't just students. You need to be speaking clearly with your collaborators about your writing standards from the beginning. Make people say out loud that they don't write their own articles anymore.
