'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.

bsky.app/profile/refr... so not Trump's idea which leads me to which genius thought we should remove the symbol of peace but I don't have the energy to figure out of this is someone who thinks olive branches are whimpy or just wanted to focus on the 13 colonies or what

I deleted my repost about the Trump admin removing the olive branch from the design of the dime. False alarm, guys

one of the earliest lessons in politics I learned as a kid from my parents was to always vote for a tax increase, because you're trading a dollar amount so small you probably won't notice in order to fund something important that benefits everybody. I wish that was how Democrats messaged this stuff!

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Post links if you can.

Buy stuff if you can.

They hate when people stand up.

Jews are targeted in shuls & online.

Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps.

Muslims are openly targeted by politicians.

Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI.

Trans & queer people are being outlawed.

We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

Did you get a chance to see / listen to the NPR Tiny Desk concert from Buddy Guy recently? Hell of a performance from an 89 year old.

I will of course prioritize my number one issue for when I choose who to support in primary 2028 but it would be good if any of the options at all believed in taxation

Thanks! I can see how I could've gone from 1 ax head to multiple arrow heads when not at my best. So not as bad even if bundle of arrows is closer than I'd like to bundle of rods

Look wake up this is serious. Chatbots are driving people insane. It's happening to people you don't think of as mad people. This is a serious danger of the technology that should majorly concern you. It's not safe for vulnerable people, & you don't want to find out the hard way that's you.

Forgive me I'm tired but isn't the bundle of arrows alone literally a fascist symbol? Like isn't the word fascist taken from a word for a bundle of sticks and fascist creeps made them arrow heads because weapons cool?

I was working on my page and noticed that my in page navigation was flexing when it shouldn't & my entire page had suddenly gained 1rem right padding. I couldn't figure out where I messed up the padding but I knew how to fix the nav. Why did fixing the nav fix the padding? I'm not complaining but...

Same. I cannot watch anything without subtitles and if my only option is auto-generated ones I will most likely not bother watching the thing - particularly if it’s a subject matter with technical terms like anything to do with programming, it’s just nonsense that comes out.

I had to talk VERY STERNLY to a client this week because ChatGPT was telling him something that was MANIFESTLY untrue that could have exposed him to serious liability

I hate that he might have listened to me over the LLM because I'm a man

LOW DIVORCE RATES DON'T INDICATE GOOD MARRIAGES:

THEY REFLECT WOMEN'S DISCOURAGEMENT FROM FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE AND PRESSURE TO REMAIN IN UNHAPPY UNIONS.

The rise of online vibrant events in early Covid offered a lot of hope for disabled/chronically ill people who have access issues attending IRL events (including going into a flare later). Anti-Zoom reactive sentiment pushed a lot of people into being more isolated again.

May we rage when we must & rest when we can.
May we build the peace we so desperately need.
May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires.

The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it.

Shabbat shalom ❀️

I realize there's too much momentum behind this one to get people to stop at this point, but you really don't have to use "woke" sarcastically or as a pejorative just because the shitheads do. you can just not

M is for maybe this starts with an m
N is for next letter, and that one's an n
E is for easy, like spelling this word
M is for magpie, the stealingest bird
O is for only three more letters to go
N is for nearly there, you mnemonic pro
I is for imminent, this poem's end
C is for congratulations, my spellingwell friend
