An ex-colleague of mine was complaining to me the other day about the ai problem in her students' papers, and I told her, "Just make your students hand-write them in class. Easy."

A sagging middle is the result of either one or both of these elements not getting enough attention. It’s hord

David Lynch was a huge influence on Danhausen. (…) because in a world that is purely sanitized garbage for the most part, as far as arts and films and music and all that go, seemingly at least, he was authentically himself.
