Well, that escalated quickly.

Hey gang, I hope you've remembered to

Entering the job market gets tougher for college graduates in AI era At a recent career fair, students said they had submitted dozens or hundreds of applications. One tried "AI-proofing" his resume.

College student says he's using AI to "AI-proof" his resume.

Do you think he understand the irony?

Only an hour today. Not the worst.

Someday I'm going to write about the daughter-as-parental-caregiver experience I've been living for the last 3 years. Most of us will experience this at some point. I anticipate very few of us are ready.

Just another Sunday morning managing Dad's health and finances.

Made a belated birthday visit yesterday, only to find that the facility is still in the midst of a viral outbreak and he's one of the residents showing symptoms. I hung out in a mask for an hour. Medication was delivered in full PPE.

I know there are more important things, but it is unreal that the president is announcing this via his own personal account on his own personal social media network.

ED Changes Timeline to Recognize New Accreditors The Education Department is looking to speed up the process by which aspiring accreditors seek and receive federal recognition, announcing changes Thursday that could potentially help more agencies ga...

Seems to me this is to make sure that the current admin will have the ability to approve new accreditors.

He knows how to influence the president. Smart move.

There’s too much terrible news tonight. Too many WTF moments. What is this timeline.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

This is bigotry, pure and simple.

he is not happy with us.

Spent the morning at the emergency vet with one of our cats, who seems to be ok despite his persistent vomiting and diarrhea… $1300 later 😕

Concerns over autocracy in the U.S. continue to grow Is America still a democracy? Scholars tell NPR that after the last year under President Trump, the country has slid closer to autocracy or may already be there.

DOGE Bro’s Grant Review Process Was Literally Just Asking ChatGPT ‘Is This DEI?’ Federal grants that had been approved after a full application and review process were terminated by some random inexperienced DOGE bros based on whether ChatGPT could explain—in under 120 characte…

We knew this was how it was happening. And now it’s being proven in court.

This isn’t how government institutions should work. I wonder if most U.S. voters agree with me.

S/O to Laila Edwards for becoming the FIRST EVER BLACK AMERICAN hockey gold medalist!!!! 🙂‍↕️✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿🥇

I audibly groaned as I read this. So sad. This disease takes people way too young.

One thing I’ve learned from making deliveries for our local food bank is there are apartments hidden everywhere.

I did so many loads of laundry today. And most of them are folded. Also made dinner. Basically, aced this Sunday.

The published this on Valentine’s Day.

And, after a couple days of frequent use, I can tell it’s doing something to my brain/thinking patterns that I absolutely need to be aware of. Just like parents limit screen time, I think LLM limits would be wise if we value human thought.

Since we last spoke, I’ve moved from trusting 0% to trusting 10%. It’s wild to think how incredibly far astray it could take someone without subject matter expertise and critical thinking skills.

I’ve been doing my some experimenting over the last few weeks, mostly with writing, and this weekend I moved into actual analysis (personal finance). The number of times Claude told me, “this changes EVERYTHING!” after I pointed out a bad interpretation was comical.

Cream Soda-flavored Olipop might give it a run for the title.

I feel this.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

But I just saw the "send all the women to the gulags" video, and I want to barf. These feelings are usually reserved for evenings.

While this is a far-right, fringe opinion, it has an audience. And that audience includes the president of the United States.

I have no more words for now.

I should know better than to check this site (or the news, or radio, or whatever) because there's a high chance I will come across something that will alter my mental abilities for the rest of the day.

It's why I don't have news alerts on any device.

Came here to send it to you. ha.

I would read your annotations.
