What will you do with an English major? Anything. Everything. You’ll better understand the seeds of creativity … the more expert you’ll be at shaping stories, at persuading, & I can’t imagine any profession in which better communicators aren’t better off www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/o...

Ah so LLMs operate like senior male academics. Who could have envisioned that technology trained on existing texts could operate in a fundamentally conservative nature

Made the mistake of not checking before opening the front door, and a neighbor happened to be walking right in front of the house, so of course Inky—my escape artist with no preservation instincts—takes advantage and shoots past me out the door.

"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!

If you lose power and are using a portable generator, remember to only run it outdoors at least 20 feet away from your home. Portable generators can produce deadly levels of carbon monoxide in minutes. Make sure you have a working carbon monoxide alarm on every level of your home.

I would point an interested reader and careful thinker to two things. One, the university recently built another top-down school without student demand or sustainable funding. It isn’t doing so well. Two, I would point out that sports dynasties are built over generations.
