Pynchon is 100 percent a gamer! There are multiple references to Nintendo in Vineland, he writes about Kojima in Bleeding Edge. He's probably playing Death Stranded 2 right now
For all we know, Pynchon is a gamer and is THRILLED about this
Shut the fuck up and fund SEPTA

"God made everything out of nothing, but the nothing shows through." – Paul Valéry, Mauvaises Pensées et Autres (1941)
Not only was dude a racist, but that union busting asshole is the reason why any advancements for labor rights in the pro wrestling industry have been effective petrified since the 80s.
The fact that “models” and “mathematicians” are on this list says to me that whoever made it does not understand anything about AI’s uses or why people use it
Here top 40 professions that will be replaced by AI first and the last, published by Microsoft
what really grinds my gears are dogs in grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. it's disgusting. everyone knows it's not allowed, but there's complete impunity, with staff either not wanting the hassle of enforcing the posted rules or even giving the dogs treats
U of Chicago is going to merge humanities departments and downscale its language offerings in part because...the institution spent too much money on construction projects. Its endowment: over $10 billion. Are there any leaders in higher ed who *want* to save the humanities?
The Division of the Arts & Humanities is considering consolidating its 15 departments into eight, reducing language instruction, and establishing minimum class and program sizes, citing new federal policies and shifts in the “underlying financial models” for higher education.
Every few weeks, right wingers rediscover André Rieu, the Burger King of classical music, and fancy themselves continental sophisticates for enjoying this decadent, plastic, end-of-history schmaltz.
A magnificent example of the European culture we’re told doesn’t exist. Touches my heart every single time.
eventually it’ll just be one humanities department: the Department of Applied Humanities, where you learn how to write ads for multinational corporations

I will shout this until the day I die, "tradesman who makes 6 figures" describes someone who owns a business, not someone who primarily does medium skill labor for a living.
Would you believe me if I told you the median sociology major makes more than the median electrician? $70k vs. $62.4k. The trades can pay well, and there's high demand, but the work is often physically brutal, and the hours can be bad. We shouldn't sell people on a lie.
I understand that ppl are saying Sharon forced Ozzy's hand but can you honestly hand on heart say that mfer would have good politics if it wasn't for his wife? lol come on

there’s been an incredibly strange effort around the popularity of a pretty openly gay man by homophobes + conservatives to paint pedro pascal as a predator, no ones done this with any other ascendant actor in recent history and what’s happening is obviously conservative backlash
me wondering why Pedro Pascal never has “anxiety” around his male co-workers
I'm sorry but I cannot take the idea seriously that any of you are actually upset by ozzys politics. Of course they're bad hes barely been awake for 55 years and he wasn't exactly a genius when he WAS awake lol
other schools need to step up and say they are willing to take in columbia students who have been targeted at this point bc this is absolutely diabolical.
