ChatGPT has absolutely no goddamn place in graduate education. It steals from other authors, routinely gets major facts wrong, hallucinates sources, and generally makes the prose flat and boring as hell.
And if you shill for it in my mentions, I'll block you.

The loss of physical media means missing out on a pretty girl browsing your bookshelf/cd collection/dvd collection when she comes over to your place. And no, having her go through your spotify/kindle/netflix is not nearly as sexy

What?! I mean, fuck the Block family as always, but what the fucking fuck?
Wow. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will cease operations in May. The announcement from the wealthy Block family comes after SCOTUS refused to take up its appeal of a federal ruling requiring it to make changes to its union health plan.

Kate Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations
Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.
