Thank you for posting this! It's got a lot in it that crystallizes some things I haven't been able to articulate.

The students will start using AI for article selection, thus cutting human effort out of the process entirely! This is obviously fine according to our techbro overlords and their feckless higher ed enablers because we all love The Matrix and secretly wish it was a documentary.

If there was a little man inside my brain, this gentleman would be that little man.

You can’t be a party person if you don’t support trans people. I mean, what kind of shitty party would that even BE.

Who would want less of that? I will never understand.

Seriously, it’s not that hard. You drink something that tastes like Gatorade mixed with seawater, spend a day pooping, have an absolutely lovely nap, immediately eat everything in sight, and continue on your merry way not dying of colon cancer.

Perhaps less “whom the subject engages” and more “whom the subject benefits.”

Grew up mostly in North Jersey and totally cosign. This is the heartland of the now-extinct Moderate Classy Republican. This lady was my parents’ Member of Congress:

Guess what the good news is? YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORK FOR THEM.

In that case, you will get a decision (consults angle of the sun)… wait, when is Halley’s Comet due again? (Scribbles calculations…)
