I have some more bad news. If an admissions committee even suspects you used ChatGPT for your application letter, they'll almost certainly decide not to waste a precious admissions spot on you. Instead they'll give it to, you know, someone who actually likes to write and knows how to do it.

Read that last sentence again.

Trump just placed a tariff on most of the EU of 10% that will increase to 25% in June unless they agree to sell him Greenland. This is mad king shit.

The South Carolina measles outbreak is growing at an astounding speed More than 500 people are in a 21-day quarantine and about 200 are "actively infected." The largest outbreak currently in the U.S. has spread to at least three other states

Please! They’re finding that even though subclade K evades many immune defenses, hospitalizations among children especially are still mostly kids who weren’t vaccinated. theyre finding vaccination still slows community spread and is reducing illness severity. GET VACCINATED.

Things I have continued to not work on today despite them being due imminently: the book review 😬 Tomorrow, tomorrow.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

if you vote for another cent for this you are a collaborator. this is a litmus test for every politician for the rest of my life

I had to use an app yesterday proudly created using Microsoft Power AI Whatever. It had text on the left and a simple survey thing on the right. The text kept flashing, adding a scrollbar, reflowing, and then removing it and reflowing. I'm not impressed.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

TL cleanse: I have been trapped by a large donut.

Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

Also, people going hard for Newsom, who are never, ever from California, have you noticed how many of the people who hate him are FROM California? THAT'S B/C WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ELECT GAVIN NEWSOM AS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS & IT IS VERY NOT GREAT & WE ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU TO AVOID THAT.

I’d point out too that public spaces have now become actively hostile to children - banned from malls, no skateboarding, etc - so children can’t be alone even often if parents are ok with it

My metaphorical dick

Hello drivers. You may have noticed that there is still some ice on the ground. If you see cyclists or pedestrians in unexpected places on the road, please understand that it's because the road is the only goddamn thing that got cleared. Don't you dare honk. Don't you dare.

Twin Cities Leather (and adult toy store Smitten Kitten) have stopped regular operations to become a staging and delivery space for food and supply donations- they are requesting monetary donations to keep them afloat without any income www.paypal.com/paypalme/kpa...

Something I hear a lot in my neighborhood is that there’s a way for everyone to help. And it’s true. We all have a role to play in resisting ICE and fascism. If you want to help the people of Minnesota, this website has vetted ways to do that:

I'm looking for a Paris apartment to rent for 3-4 weeks in late March - early April (preferably 2 bedrooms, although a bedroom plus a sofa bed would work). Two adults and a kid. Does anyone have any leads? Thanks!

This is great! If anyone wants a guest lecturer in musicology, let me know!

Remember that exploitative and unethical clinical trial of HepB vaccine in Guinea-Bissau that RFK Jr. funded? It’s been cancelled.

Your semi-regular reminder from a dairy farmer: We need a giant subset of skim milk drinkers or we don't get nice things like butter and ice cream at a decent price.

South Minneapolis, I just woke up with my eyes burning, from all the gas on the other side of town, so we need to be paying attention to this too

Missing from the coverage of redundancies at Edinburgh: this was done in such a haphazard, uncoordinated way, there are now core teams who have gone from 5 people to 1 with no change in workload or pressure and huge loss in knowledge of institutional process. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2576321...

Future ethics in medical research students- get a head start on your syllabus and read it now. Because this will be taught as an example of unethical research 👇🏻

Why dont you leftists go be useful and contact the city of Salt Lake nonstop and make them regret even thinking about this.

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true. They are getting creative!

Please see below if you have a SAMHSA grant that was cancelled. This is a trustworthy group doing excellent work on documenting the destruction of research in the U.S.

The cost is actually $95 IF you have an oven and are a good cook and have 2.5 hours to put into this endeavor. Someone put together a series making dinners for under $20 from the dollar store and everyone kept commenting “why no spices and fresh veg?” Bc they cost SO MUCH up front.

The rise of content giving “per portion” prices has given people a bizarre sense of food costs. Yes, a meal can cost $3, if you buy the $12 whole chicken and $3 veg for 4. BUT you must have the $35 bag of rice the $20 pan the $8 knife the $9 bottle of oil and the $7 tin of spices.

Trump carried Bucks county by 274 votes out of 400k in 2024, this dude ran on cancelling the ICE 287(g) contract, so pretty close to an "abolish ICE" platform. He won against the incumbent by 11 percentage points, or 25,000 votes. Dem strategists are idiots.
