love when stories inflict unspeakable horrors onto a person for no real reason. its not karma. its not payback. its not a lesson. its not your fault. no ones even out to get you in particular. youre not the chosen one or special or anything. it just sorta happened and you were there. sorry man

how i'm handling my students using AI to write papers:

-don't accuse them on using AI from the get-go and instead ask them to informally define all the huge words that they used in their essay which i know they don't know the meaning of

-ask to see their original file where they "wrote" the essay. go to version history to see if it was just copy and pasted and then just edited a bit. i keep an eye out for the shit like "certainly! here's an essay about...."

-if they own up to it, they can re-do the assignment for a higher grade even if there will be an automatic penalty. if they don't, i process it like plagiarism and get my supervisor involved.

Segments of Mario dancing, from the official 1992 music video for the Super Mario Land rap by Ambassadors of Funk.

While many assume the song to be either unofficial or merely one of the many bizarre Nintendo of America-licensed projects typical of the early years of the franchise, this is not the case. The musical project to create that song, and later the entire Super Mario Compact Disco album, was greenlit by Shigeru Miyamoto personally.

this fandom is crazy bc the game presents you with the most androgynous cryptid of a protagonist who quite literally beats you over the head with a hockey stick that they are not you nor is anything about them aside from their actions dictated by your preferences. and some people still came out of it going "their gender is up for interpretation and i interpret him as a boy!" anyways happy pride

Fairytale Seinfeld. Elaine pretends to be mute to date a guy exclusively into mermaids. Jerry haggles for a parking space with Rumplestiltskin. George gets “Hansel and Gretled.” Kramer inherits magic beans.

look i'm not the biggest fan of the toothpaste flag either but i find alot of the arguments against it's existence to feel somewhat. ahistorical and somewhat nitpicky. like specifically the criticism that it "ripped off the lesbian pride flag" seems silly when MOST pride flags (and flags in general) are going to be ripping each other off especially when they're supposed to communicate similar ideas and are in the same community. like the "progressive pride flag" is just the rainbow flag with a white/pink/blue/brown/black chevron, but also "they made it blue because blue is for boys and pink is for girls" is like. yeah. what do you think the trans pride colors represent exactly?
