These people are letting you know that they’ve always cheated. Their eyes have always been on someone else’s paper. They alway bought essays. A subordinate has always done the work their name is slapped on, usually without credit. Chat is a cover for them.

I will say Detroit is really a "two things can be true" kinda town and that's what excites me and infuriates me. you will hear from national (and not local) folks analyzing what happened here but a local can tell you that this is 50+ years of inter-racial relations a play here.

Joshua Eaton@joshuaeaton.bsky.social · 5d agoThe contract that provides legal services to these immigrant children in federal custody expires today — both nationwide and here in Connecticut. The Acacia Center for Justice, which holds that contract, told me yesterday they have not seen a plan to replace it.

I hate articles like this. Yes, a model trained to average samples from professional writers is likely to be better than the average of a random sampling of writers. Duh. All you've said is that professional writers aren't accidentally succeeding.

Armstrong got and gets a lot of flak, and he stopped being on the cutting edge early. But I tell you, listen to the straight blues from even late in his career and you hear his soul come through. Maybe the corny stuff was just a man who'd had a hard life trying to be happy? 89.9 FM / wkcr.org

"NFL player" is a new slang term for some special kind of joint, right? If so, mayyybe.
Boneless Wings…Lover@coachd21.bsky.social · 2d agoDo you think you take a hit from a NFL player and not fumble the ball at your age?
Which logic of course makes me worried the head dude is now going to chip away at that.
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 2d agoBluesky's nuclear block supports a culture of consent. Each user can completely prevent another user from having any access to them on this site. Right wing harassers on X hate consent. They hate being told "no." They hate not being able to force their posts onto others and target others.
