No one can tell me a single good use for it, for me. I have asked. Not a one.
What am I supposed to use it for? To summarize my emails? Too long, wrong. To write things? Too long, wrong. To plan trips? Planning is FUN and why would I outsource that? I played with it a bit six months ago, it was meh.
Also, I hate its enshittification of search results with my whole soul.

This! The extent to which people don’t actually enjoy thinking has been eye opening.
That’s before I reckon with the ethics of using a thing for ghost efficiency that is pretty societally devastating.
And on a final personal note, I don’t want to become stupid before my time. I really don’t. I will keep mucking about so that I can keep mucking about, for as long as possible.

same! This is my biggest fear and thank God I am not alone, because …. it’s wild here!
This. Especially because I believe that writing is thinking (for me). I don’t want to lose that.
What people do not do, they often lose the ability to do. Which is sometimes fine! In my own life, I don’t have any great need to know how to do some of the math I once learned. But I don’t want to forget how to write.

100 faculty must be the magic AI number because that’s supposedly how many we are also hiring. Which is basically 20x more than we have studying climate change.

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.
Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

Just finished the IBWTR latest epi on 1933 October, and my God the last 10 minutes were SCARY! “Work is anyways shit, I might as well quit and just do child caring fulltime” (I am paraphrasing but this is in essence.) that is such a popular opinion now among mothers, masked as a choice.

We should be cautious in interpreting claims filings right now, several hundred thousand people have been fired from the federal govt but most will be ineligible for UI because layoffs were either structured as voluntary deferred resignations (Fork in the Road) or for cause (provisional workers)
We now have unemployment claims data for all 50 states for the week ending 10/25. Still no sign of a big uptick in initial claims. (Note that these charts do NOT include federal workers -- see down thread for those.) #NumbersDay #EconSky

I did not expect this post to resonate with so many people, but it makes sense considering how many people have been laid off or are going through layoffs rn. Gen X and Millennials were also taught to prioritize work and our careers, only to see homes become too expensive to buy and wages stagnate.
Being laid off feels especially hard when I remember how many times I put my job first before my own health, well-being, and family. When I worked weeknights until 11pm and on weekends to hit production quotas, during PTO, and filed three stories the day before it happened. There's a lot of grief.

The section where econ meets sociology is the reason why I decided to pursue my studies in econ! 🌟 (My (immigrant) parents discouraged sociology as not seen as a field where you can earn, ha jokes on them, I am unemployed now anyways 🙃)
Hot take: More sociologists and economists need to work together.

I am still in search of books and any other recs/stories, but I did purchase the Anti-Planner and so far it has been great! I think it was following a recommendation from Dr Tressie MC! (Online rec from her ofc, I don’t know her personally, if only!!) anti-planner.com/shop/the-ant...
