'LLMs as a disability aid for ADHD' just goes to show how many critical misunderstandings people have about ADHD.
Like literally the best coping strategy for ADHD is mindfulness. Writing your OWN notes. Keeping your OWN lists. Finding strategies that help YOU remember things. YOU, not a chatbot.

I went out to the shed this morning just before dawn and heard one of the barred owls way back on the hillside calling for its mate. It’s a beautiful sound and one of my favorites of the mountains.
The great thing about this is that, in a generation or two, these techlord shitheads will be absolutely gobsmacked when their children turn on them and hunt them for sport in their mansions like the feral little monsters they will no doubt become.
Cosmic funny. I love those.
I accept it with humility and appreciation and will repay it with something equally homemade like jam or a pie and an invite to Sunday dinner.

Good lord. Isn’t that just what Appalachians do? Trade? Give what you can when you can? Pay it forward? Do something nice for your neighbor? I thought it was a nice thing, cookies in exchange for a donation. Jesus. Not everything is nefarious five dimensional chess.
He's got errands... He's got stuff to do... And tomorrow is going to he a really busy day. THURSDAY THE 12TH (Parody of the Friday the 13th movie cover, showing Jason in line at a grocery store)
We're all preparing
A skeletal death, in a black, hooded robe, sits, hand under chin, scythe on the ground, surrounded by flocks of ravens. The painting "Tired or The Weary Death", Pavel Karlovich, Wenig

To be fair, Mr. Krabs is more of what America worships, but his point still stands.
White banner on a beige wall. Black serif letters on the banner: "If it's inaccessible to the poor it's neither radical nor revolutionary." This was part of an art installation of some sort, but despite a lot of time searching, I've never found the original source. Consider it folk wisdom.
Academics, especially if you consider yourself a radical, it's time for your praxis to move a little bit closer to your theory.
This lovely came for me yesterday.
What the hell is this shit? Why is there snow on top of the mountain it was 80 ding-damn degrees yesterday. Get God on the horn I want to file a complaint.
I always knew we'd go back to Smokey and the Bandit, I just never dreamed it would be for oil and not Coors beer.
It was 70+ degrees today and we’re getting snow in the morning and it’s supposed to be near the 80s by the weekend and I just… I don’t even, man. Do I plant my damn tomatoes or not?
Hell why don’t we just Fitzcarroldo the damn things as long as we’re doing bad idea movies. Resurrect Klaus Kinski for the hell of it.
So many alternate-earth me’s have died in so many stupid calamities. It’s really impressive actually.
“You should be ashamed of where you work. Not just Grammarly or Superhuman or whatever comically dumb name you come up with next. Almost everyone running tech firms, most people in positions of responsibility … congrats, you’re all making the world a worse place.”

Take your fucking data centers and build them in your own goddamn backyards and leave us the fuck alone. Spelling errors are mine because a human being wrote this and she is both tired and angry.
So yes. We're mistrustful. We're bitter. We're angry. We're tired. And we want more. We want better. And no. We don't want your goddamned date AI slop centers poisoning what's left of our legacy in these mountains.
and been fighting for a better life since the first New York robber baron stepped foot in Appalachia and stole the mineral rights to our land right out from under us and laughed all the way to the bank he built with the money he stole from us right along with the coal he dug from out mountains.
a nice bit of poverty tourism or a soundbite for a news program of a way to make yourself feel better that "at least we're better than a bunch of ignorant dirt eating morons who deserve what they voted for. Ignoring that a fair portion of us did not vote for this, do not want this, would love and
begrudged us for even daring to think we might deserve a part of the American dream, and were happy to abandon us at the first opportunity, and could not understand why we might be hesitant to trust anyone from the outside who comes here "just trying to help" when 9 times out of 10 its for
We know what outsiders think of us. You came in for the resources, stole the land (that, fair, we stole from the Natives), poisoned the water, the earth, worked us to death, killed us for wanting even a fair portion of life, murdered us for trying to unionize, mocked us for our culture,
On god I swear the fact that Appalachia is once again the staging ground for exploitation, this time for goddamn data centers, is going to be the final stage of my villain arc. I thought the robber barons had pillaged every last good thing from this place, but they managed to find one last thing.
I’m so sorry.
Feel better!
I dropped a piece of kielbasa by the stove while cooking dinner tonight, and forever more Taterhead will be my kitchen cooking buddy in the hopes that the Under the Stove gods will see fit to bless him with under the stove kielbasa whenever I cook dinner from now on. God help me.
Welp, just lost the hour to the ether.
