At this point, generative AI has to go the way of the dinosaur. It literally has to be rooted out and the companies associated with it driven out of business.

All my friends who teach in higher ed have had that one student in your class: the clearly right wing student who is set in their beliefs/is just there to troll you and their fellow students. Not really interested in any learning. My question is how all of them ended up writing for the NYT.

you know, people on the socialist/communist left give AOC a lot of shit, but she is sending campaign emails that say shit like this, which i think is probably good (?)

My PWHL Playoff MVP ballot (had to be in by 10 minutes left in the third period) 1. Marie-Philip Poulin 2. Ann-Renée Desbiens 3. Nicole Gosling If I could have considered Roque's second goal and Flaherty's marker they may have snuck into my third spot but that top 2 was locked in.

you can tell american TV hasn't quite run out of ideas because nobody's bothered trying to make a show where Jared Harris has his humanity gradually eroded away as he psychosexually tortures Paul Dano to death

Going through some Post-Walter Cup thoughts... #PWHL All the talk about Laura Stacey and Marie-Philip Poulin and Erin Ambrose playing through stuff, but how about a shout out for Maureen Murphy who came off LTIR for the playoffs and couldn't even lift the Walter Cup with her right arm.

sorry, compromising trusted but low profile accounts to spread propaganda is a novel strategy ?

im an IT worker, and I'm supposed to be considered knowledgeable about computers, and people at work are always very surprised and seemingly disappointed when I talk about my refusal to engage with LLMs

This is the urinary leash; these regulations amount to confinement at home for trans people. If you cannot access public restrooms, you cannot work outside the home and you cannot make trips any longer than the tolerance of your bladder.

i am experiencing playoff feelings

I hate everything about this

Ottawa's best period of perhaps the entire season right there sans a goal. If anything I think the charge have made it very clear that no matter what you think about this team you don't want to face them in the playoffs

NADIA MATTIVI NO !!!!

relatedly, does anyone else have private fantasies of obscure / unlikely songs that would absolutely vibe out at a sports game

despite the issues with officiating the general quality of hockey in these finals has been VERY good there's just a lot to be happy about

I love hockey and I love that we got the timeline where you can go to a pro womens hockey game and listen to nothing but actual bangers in the arena with over 10,000 people. I don't care at least that's pretty cool
