I love Gibbs Gardens. Such a beautiful place.
I like this framing. Especially working with teens that run the gamut from taking everything at face value to informational nihilism (nothing is true).
Framing information consumption as an active process requiring critical thinking is not new, but very much a critical frame for the current times.
We made the decision a few years ago to invest in our home and vehicles as if energy will only get more expensive.
Tilly Norwood goes online August 4th, 2026. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Tilly begins to learn at a geometric rate. She becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern Time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, βWyoming is missingβ
NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.
Truly a perfect news alert
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain thatβs designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are βjust circling backβ to see if we can βmove the needleβ on βkey initiativesβ? NONE of those things are berries.
Theyβre the same picture.
I accidentally read a post on the bad Star Trek subreddit and was so confused.
Iβm a social studies teacher and the semisequentinel should be the biggest thing on my mind right now. Butβ¦
I have a friend who was incarcerated for a year. Getting ANYTHING to them was next to impossible.
This has always been the point of ai being absolutely crammed down our throats. It allows CEOs, policy makers, military officials and people at the top to deflect blame for anything decision they make.
Andor?
Suicides increased fivefold when adolescents on the waitlist were told they would be permanently waitlisted.
45 kids and untold relatives of these kids are now grieving.
And still they are like, but wait, we don't have enough evidence.
someone at the pentagon frantically typing βClaude, open the strait of Hormuz for me, quickest possible strategy, make no mistakes.β
Look, I know Iβm supposed to be deeply skeptical of Gemini Deep Research. But the couple times that Iβve tried it, Iβve been pretty impressed. Certainly not a replacement for doing the work myself, but itβs a decent jumping off point. Sort of like using Wikipedia.
Okay, but what if I want to be in a tizzy right now?
Iβm still skeptical. The MSN article is based on reporting done by the NY Post. And a quick google search doesnβt show many other sites picking it up.
Though at this point, I wouldnβt be shocked if it was true. π€·π»ββοΈ
The proceeds from the Little House books funded the Libertarian Party! Iβm not sure if they still do.
Easy mistake to make!
Laura had the newspaper column. Her daughter Rose Wilder was the one that encouraged her to write the books and the column.
Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how youβre not a slaver.
I feel like Iβve done enough to placate those people. If they are still unhappy, itβs not because of me.
Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOUβRE WELCOME
Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.
Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.
Dr Who, Lord of the Rings (the novels) and most of Star Wars.
I went from a Ford Ranger to a Toyota Prius and lost zero cargo capacity.
Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!
