Friends in academia: do you have a copyeditor you love? Looking to hire one for a manuscript, and would much rather go off recommendations. Thank you!

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

Hey, y'all - there are going to be lots of ugly propaganda pieces circulating now that Trump is president again. KKK flyers, etc. Just a note to say that best practices are that you deface the image somehow before sharing it so that it cannot be distributed further as-is.

Yet another #Buffy rewatch. The excitement of Graduation Day: Part II so quickly dissipates upon remembering it means the dreaded Riley episodes are forthcoming. 😫

We watched “Longlegs” this past weekend and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. If you haven’t seen it yet, might be one to consider. Cage’s makeup alone is wild.
