What the fuck is wrong with these people?
I presented at a professional conference on Tuesday. The only people at work who asked me how it went are students. 🤷♀️
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, “Wyoming is missing”
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.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
They’re the same picture.
I accidentally read a post on the bad Star Trek subreddit and was so confused.
I’m a social studies teacher and the semisequentinel should be the biggest thing on my mind right now. But…
I have a friend who was incarcerated for a year. Getting ANYTHING to them was next to impossible.

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 “Claude, open the strait of Hormuz for me, quickest possible strategy, make no mistakes.”
Look, I know I’m supposed to be deeply skeptical of Gemini Deep Research. But the couple times that I’ve tried it, I’ve been pretty impressed. Certainly not a replacement for doing the work myself, but it’s a decent jumping off point. Sort of like using Wikipedia.
Okay, but what if I want to be in a tizzy right now?
I’m still skeptical. The MSN article is based on reporting done by the NY Post. And a quick google search doesn’t show many other sites picking it up.

The proceeds from the Little House books funded the Libertarian Party! I’m 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 you’re not a slaver.
I feel like I’ve done enough to placate those people. If they are still unhappy, it’s 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? YOU’RE WELCOME
