Why do the captions on the Musk trailer say this? Like the words spoken are “creating the department of DOGE” — one syllable. How does that translate to “donated organs”? Weird autocorrect?

Happy birthday, Dad. I miss you, but your voice in my head is my compass. You would’ve loved this Fred Flintstone steak, wish we could share your favorite meal together.

My Mom always told me about this event with Steinem at Keene State. I can't remember the details and she can't either. She either sat on stage with Steinem or picked her up at the airport. But my mom ended up running for office that year. We are linked, not ranked.

Getting worked up about the way people responded to a colleague’s death was very annoying, treating responses like a litmus test. I think it is a normal human response to remember the best of people who have just died.

Ten years ago, I might still have hope that this would matter to people. It doesn’t! People don’t actually care that much about sexual assault. He’ll be a guest on Bill Maher with Louis CK and Al Franken very soon, and anyone who cared will be chastised as the woke left ruining the D party.

I think it still is! I think there are a lot of cool 250 things happening at every level of govt and many cool efforts that we can still contribute to!
The great American state fair being stupid Trump bullshit does legit make me sad, if I’m being honest. A lot of the 250 stuff does. This could have been a really cool and special thing and literally any normal president would have pulled it off.

One way that we can demonstrate with actual evidence that students used AI is by checking for reference hallucinations. Tip -- if you check out the TurnItIn score, you can easily spot "citations" that don't exist.
