Sometimes it’s the people you love best who are the ones who steal your pen.
I would definitely read a 5,000+ word essay about similarities and differences between the Honey Badger and Jimothy and what all of that can tell us about what qualities people value in contemporary society and why.
Republicans are insisting that Mitch McConnell is not dead. Rather, they say, his soul has been divided into seven pieces which have been placed into various horcruxes, while what remains of his corporeal form slithers through the Forbidden Forest feasting on unicorn blood.
The neurologist says my tremor is essential but tbh I could easily do without it.
Just pointing out an alternative explanation for this graph: the midterm was easy and the final was hard. This could happen without take-home vs in-person and AI-based cheating. That’s not to say that students didn’t cheat on the midterm, using AI or otherwise. But the graph alone doesn’t prove it.

The Spurs can still win if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing.
I’m hearing that teen idol Jet Screamer will *not* be performing at the Great American State Fair.
Exclusive footage shows the White House Correspondents Dinner security.
Sometimes I just wish I could get more text messages with six-digit verification codes.
The Meta algorithm seems convincing that I have a condition called “fatty liver.” Does it know something that I don’t?
Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.
Maybe he’d like to try living in a failed state and see how that suits him.
