Wait what? When did he bring the more than 75 year old India-Pakistan conflict to an end? Or the rest of these for that matter?

Delusions are strong with this Orange one.

Reading Michael Martin’s ENT Romulan War: To Brave the Storm while drinking my morning coffee.

Came across this Vulcan word:

V'tosh rik'ortal—a Vulcan without sarcasm.

Such a Vulcan probably doesn’t exist.

"Whatever you may believe to be wrong with you, Hoshi," T'Pol said, "your grasp of the obvious remains unimpaired." It occurred to her that even among the strictest Syrrannite orders on her homeworld, there might be no such thing as a V'tosh rik'ortal—a Vulcan without sarcasm.

I’m really annoyed with my husband for using ChatGPT to make decisions about his new salon. I know my husband is far more original in how he thinks than a stupid AI plagiarism machine. Maybe I’m just being a judgmental ass.

She sounds like a complete and utter Pollyannish moron:

“You know, I think we’re all living in a period of time right now where we’re all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren’t we? And we’ve all got very different opinions”

Imagine that in the future people will be debating to what degree sexting with ChatGPT contributed to irreversible climate change.

And it was an online form.

I really hope they resurrect her. It won’t be the same without her.

It’s weird when I’m filling out a form, and it asks for a FAX number.

Moll must pay for what she did to him. I can forgive her for a lot but not for killing Fred.

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand

Mayonnaise with the exception of Kewpie

Section 31

I’m trading my sorrows (a praise and worship song…reminds of religious trauma)

Mayonnaise (ready-made sandwiches are a challenge)

New Potatoes, had them every day for years as a kid, can't physically eat then anymore.

Sausage Party, total shite

Half the fucking song is "nanananana Hey Jude."

Yup exactly. Honestly surprised that the Trump proclamation didn’t repeat that myth about Columbus.

On the positive side of things, I do often overhear a mixture of average and above average students talking about how they hate AI, and they don’t understand why their peers use it. Some students would rather earn a C than to try to cheat their way to an A.

Be thankful but also don’t be complacent about things. You have to choose not to become like us.

Grades for Online Term 1 submitted. Too many Fs because of AI. ☹️ I remember how before AI 90% of my online students passed. I miss those days. On-campus courses continue, and 2 new online courses start today. One of those is a graduate course, so if any grad students use AI, I really will cry.

But if I haven’t heard about something, it can’t be true. All of fandom is centered on me.

I can see why. A browser that isn’t adding AI! Unfortunately for doing work from home, it is not compatible with Canvas LMS.

Okay Chrome, stop trying to get me to use Gemini. Fuck AI! And not in the way Tasha Yar did.

An Indigenous American woman gives the middle finger and says fuck Christopher Columbus.
