For a year 23 years ago, I was in a critique group led by Ted White. It was a fascinating experience and he was a fascinating person. RIP.

BCS to change submission procedure. Effective today, only subs that DON'T follow guidelines will be considered. Ms format, file type, email subject, subgenre: only subs that do one/more against our GLs. The 20% of subs we currently receive that don't follow GLs, no need to change what you're doing.

Boston College vs Maryland: can the eagle pick up the terrapin and drop him? That'd be key. Mich State vs UVa: spartan has a spear and cavalier a rapier, but spartan has armor too. Ga Tech: how many yellowjackets? Pitt: a panther would be tough to beat.

Pro ice hockey has some interesting mascots. So for picking Kraken vs Mammoth: which would win a fight? I'd have a question: is the fight on land or in the water. Mammoth vs Penguins, question: how many penguins? Same w Sharks vs Kraken; how many sharks. That's be important to know.

In college I heard of a woman who decided her college basketball tournament bracket picks by which mascot would win in a fight. Eg Wisconsin vs Oregon, a badger would probably beat a duck. Cal vs Arizona, a bear might beat a wildcat. Her bracket often outperformed mens' who picked w basketball info.

I think part of the reason the reaction to people arguing *for* GenAI use is so aggressive is that not a single one of these arguments bothers to meaningfully engage with the ethical problems these technologies present. And those ethical problems are monumental. They're not minor.
