If you're a baseball player who can catch, slide, and run, but you can't hit the ball, you can: a) Practice on your own (teammates, ball machine) b) Hire a good coach c) Switch sports Notice how there is no d) Put your jersey on a robot every time it's your turn at bat (then lie about it)

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

“I think, therefore I am” kinda doesn’t apply to the glorified chatbot fueled by plagiarism and our drinking water, tbh. Something built a shit foundation, no matter how well done, is still likely gonna collapse.

You should be the author your work. You should be the origin of the ideas the work is based in. If you don't want to come up with your own ideas to write about, then why do you want to write if you don't even have anything to write about? We write because we have things to write about ourselves.

And furthermore, to build on this and what it is quoting: If you can’t be bothered to write your own words or draw your own art, then why should I be bothered to read your regurgitated, processed slop that you had no hand in creating? If you use AI, you are mid and useless as a creator by default

Warrant issued for woman who abandoned dog at Las Vegas airport The goldendoodle pup was abandoned at the airport in February, after his owner found out that she needed to fill out a form in order to fly with him, cops say www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Trump: “We’re not supposed to be seduced that way, right? But I am. When somebody’s nice to me, I love that person. Even if they’re bad people. I couldn’t care less, I’ll fight to the end for them.”

Emily Wilding Davison is known as the Suffragette who died throwing herself in front of to the King's horse at the 1923 Derby. Prior to that, she had been arrested nine times and been on hunger strike seven times in support of a woman's right to vote.

President Trump has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern U.S. elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him, and we won. We expect the same result this time.

"I'd rather spend the money on" is a myth. The United States has enough money to spend a trillion dollars per year on NASA *AND* have universal healthcare and housing and free education through college for everyone. It's not either/or. It's both/and.

“TOTALLY VILE.” Rep McKenzie reacts to Bulso saying Charlie Kirk opposing the Civil Rights Act can’t be racist because some Dems opposed it. (forgetting the Dixiecrats switched parties🤔) Gino also says systemic racism doesn’t exist… and disparages Ketanji Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DWm4Q9e...

Look at this stereotypical dumb shitlicker with a John Brown avatar not understanding who the man was & what he stood for, just like all the others with a philosopher avi- especially the Stoics. They’re not deep thinkers if they’ve never actually read the source material. bsky.app/profile/mike...

The Kirk Memorial Cherry Soda Fountain could not have been dedicated to a better candidate.

Huh. No more birthright citizenship? No more chain migration? All right, Donny. Put your money where your mouth is. Show us how committed you are to your policy ideasék

Trump is gonna be on TV tonight to tell us how great he is? Maybe he’ll show us he is a nicer shot than Budd Dwyer…

Who’s doing all the raping when the president has to behave because of all 34 charges against him, or all of the evidence of his crimes in the Epstein files? ICE is there to pick up Donny’s slack! BG, stop licking the boots of child rapists. It isn’t a good look for you.

Didn’t want to get affected like this giving evidence. Caught me by surprise. We all lost so much. We have to act on the inquiry’s recommendations. We have to be better now, so that we can be better next time.

"Banks’ behavior was said to have been investigated by Customs and Border Protection officials twice, including last year, but the investigation ended abruptly while Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was in office, leading to more questions." It really is ALL of them.

Shortly after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed Florida’s version of the SAVE America Act into law, pro-voting groups moved swiftly to challenge the severe new voting restrictions, asking a federal court to block the state from requiring voters to prove their citizenship status.

The end of birthright citizenship does not mean that the children of undocumented immigrants can be stripped of their citizenship, it means that ANYONE BORN IN THE USA CAN BE STRIPPED OF THEIR CITIZENSHIP. Wake the fuck up, America!

i'm struggling to understand why "collecting lists of Jews is historically a bad thing to do" is counterproductive save for the fact that it's a very compelling argument against this order

Someone should point out to him that being able to teleport means the taxpayers don’t need to provide him a private jet; watch him change his tune

Gotta respect it

Justice Field, despite almost single-handedly creating the corporate citizen and just being THE WORST, also was first out of the block while riding circuit to affirm the full scope of birthright citizenship in 1884 that the WKA Court would recognize 14 years later law.resource.org/pub/us/case/...

By the time you reach court in America, justice is prolly already meted out on you.😢😢🤬

It's valid to tell people "I have plans" if your plans are to sit on your couch. That's a type of plans

AI and a newish radiologist said the growth in my breast was benign. It was v small, circumscribed. A 2nd radiologist with decades of experience said, “it looks fine but I still don’t like it. Get a biopsy.” It was triple neg breast cancer. We need more experts. radiologybusiness.com/topics/artif...

some people are asking us if this is a joke. do you think we would joke about something like this? btw, as part of the exhibition, we're also bringing in another important loan, this time from a Norwegian museum. it tells the lesser-known story of the 1066 Viking invasion, led by Harald Baardrada

“Kids really struggled when schools were closed for Covid and classes were remote, and social media is addictive and bad for their mental health, so the best thing for their mental health as college students will be to make a computer their friend,” said no one who’s ever met a college student ever.

I know I am not a fan of the human race right now, but I do like people Recognizing that I am in my feelings for some nostalgia, I do wonder if there are any Fort Lauderdale / Broward mutuals who might be interested in getting an outdoor table for some Cheesecake Factory or Gelato / ice cream..?

I haven’t taken a meander on Las Olas Riverwalk for what might be a couple years at this point. Didn’t realize I missed wandering along & looking at the dogs out with their owners, or paddle boards in the canal. I think being able to walk downtown might be more valuable than walking to work…

Here you go, @sci-fi-guy-matthew.bsky.social !

If I have any moots in South Florida, be sure your W-branded pharmacist isn’t following their “super secret” Good Faith policy to deny you your meds for frivolous reasons like where you live in relation to your doctor or pharmacy. They settled w/ DEA last year for pulling so many shenanigans.

Dead or sick babies is a feature not a bug.

I don't want to encourage anyone's impostor syndrome but if you are using ChatGPT to write for you, you're literally an impostor. Literally!!! Of the worst kind! Either stop or get out of the way!!! Sigh... I guess this stuff makes me made because the actual work IS hard, and THAT. IS. THE. POINT.
