Excellent analogy.

I feel seen.

This is an excellent idea.
Even here in tiny Centreville, a deep red area, there is a sizable protest in the town square. #nokings
The thing regular people don’t often grasp about ‘academic freedom’ is that if you don’t allow experts to research & teach in their fields of expertise, guided by their professional judgment & decades of training, you have effectively given up on the concept of knowledge & shut down your university
Yes, Netflix, I am still watching. One of the good things about a sick day is the ability to binge watch without guilt.
Got my COVID and flu shots yesterday. The COVID shot always hits me hard, but this one is especially nasty.
I called in sick and plan to binge Resident Alien.
Kitties!
Okay, this made me literally lol.
I miss having a cat.
I mean, this seems like solid advice.
It is extremely petty of me, but my favorite genre of reels/short video these days is the “making fun of Pete Hegseth’s pull ups genre”.

Spam filters could definitely be a thing. The last paper I reviewed I recommended some changes, but the second review got dumped to spam. I eventually got a shaming email directly from the editor basically saying “Well, since you couldn’t be bothered to respond we assume these changes are good.”
YOU AND ME BOTH, BUDDY
Isn’t this a major reason for private schools? Working as intended, I suppose.
I HATE this sort of system. Anything other than 5 stars is simply shitty? Thanks for giving absolutely no nuance to the system whatsoever.

I need to find more folks to follow here who aren’t explicitly and only political. My feed in 99.9% screaming politics, and needs more travel, pets, books, and friends.
19 space missions…or more ICE hiring. What do you choose? @standupforscience.bsky.social
A fun thing about American politics is that more people voted in New York City in a June primary than live in five states that get two senators.
I hear you on that! The best things I ever did for my back were learning deadlifting and running.
Deadlifts today. They were hard.
At one point in my life I could deadlift 140 pounds, but that point is not the current one.
I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future.
But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.
After 15 years of endurance sports (triathlon and single sport running and cycling), I have decided to dip my toes into the world of weightlifting. I’ve only been at it for two weeks, but so far I am digging learning a new skill set. And thanks to the coaches who haven’t treated me like a dumbass!
