Close up of a calico asleep, view of the side of her head, her chin resting on one white forepaw, which itself is resting on one white hind paw, with the tip of her other forepaw can be seen between. The tip of her tail is seen coming out from under her. The image only shows the part of her wrapped near her head. Her eyes are closed and her mouth seems to curl up in a small smile. Though she seems to be sleeping, her top ear looks very alert.

Let's see if bluesky has the juice these days...

Back on the heyday of old twitter, if we were having a slow Patreon month, I could do a few tweets reminding people that we have bonus episodes! and a discord server! and keeping the show ad-free!

Will it work again here to bump up a low month?

screenshot of press release from four nations with their logos: Tla’amin Nation; Homalco Nation; K'ómoks Nation; Klahoose Nation. March 11, 2026 Chiefs from four First Nations communities are urging the public to please approach Aaron Gunn with no caution whatsoever. He is completely harmless, though momentarily unsettled by the alarming possibility that someone might acknowledge the land before a meeting. Yesterday on social media, the MP appeared to crash out and demand to speak to the manager of land acknowledgements, a position that observers confirm does not exist. Chiefs whose territories make up the riding had two words for the MP - Chillax, Bud. Land acknowledgements have never seized private property, cancelled a mortgage, repossessed a pickup truck, or altered a single title deed anywhere in Canada. They are simply people recognizing the history of the place where they are standing. No one is going anywhere. Canada will survive the brief moment of honesty. Until then, Chiefs across the region continue to reassure the public that land acknowledgements have not, to date, resulted in any land back.

That’s such a hard question! I’m a round peg in a square-peg world. I lead with my curiosity and adaptability—and focus on the stories I’m interested in.

But I get it; on LinkedIn, something has to go first. If I boiled it down, it might be Show-and-Tell-er

Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed…

"Over 4 months, #LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into #AI's role in learning."

You can do it! And you learn in the process, so nothing is ever a complete loss; if you don’t win this year, you’ll know how to get it done for next year!

(I’m not you, so not saying “Just be like me!”) I’ve been applying to all sorts of things, some I’m not qualified for, some I am. I’m practicing detachment, but also harnessing the confidence of a 25yo mediocre white guy who already thinks they know enough to manage. Can’t score if you don’t shoot.

Many know Ada Lovelace, but too few know about women like Mary Allen Wilkes, who wrote most of the software for the first "personal" computer—the LINC.

Here are stories of modern and historical women in tech and digital rights that inspire us. How many did you already know? #InternationalWomensDay

In fact, I met a woman in Spain who is mayor of a state capital, and because of the state, I was wary. But the first chance she got after hearing where my friend and I were from, she came over and said, “I don’t speak for everyone, but for myself, I’m sorry.”

I’ve been to recent events of Americans visiting here, and they’ve ALL started off in the first sentence saying, “On behalf of the 50% of my country that didn’t vote for him, I’m sorry.”
