"You worked hard to earn your degrees and are now entering the job market, where I am doing my best to see that you are replaced by AI. Yes, you personally, Emily. I hate you. Well, hate is a strong word. I am just indifferent to whether you’re able to earn a living."

It’s not going to happen. #STLCards

It’s not just padding citations, it’s literally plagiarizing them. If you didn’t read it, you can’t cite it.

"So you expect every author to check every citation is real and accurate?" YES, in fact, we do. The very *best* explanation for having a fake or inaccurate citation is that you were misleading your readers by dishonestly padding your citations! That's unacceptable!

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

My book, CANFIELD DRIVE, was shortlisted for the ASU Humanities Institute Book Award. All these books look great!

The plan must go through the Senate and then back to the House, which will likely reject the plan, sending it to a conference committee for reconciliation. Still, under the Senate plan, schools would receiving the same funding as they did last fiscal year, which essentially constitutes a budget cut.

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

The Federal Emergency Management Agency told St. Louis it will not pay for most building demolitions the city hoped would be covered. This denial means St. Louis will have less money to spend on rebuilding.
