I'm not a killjoy: it is socially unacceptable to ask chatgpt anything
i want to be a killjoy: we need to make it socially unacceptable to ask chatgpt anything
i dont want to be a killjoy but we desperately need to make it socially unacceptable to talk about asking chatgpt things in regular conversation

And there it is. The Department of Justice has frozen all case activity in the civil rights division. This is the mechanism of enforcement for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and so much more.

Saw this play today. First time in my life I saw an entire performance in Flemish Sign Language by a mainstream theatre company, with deaf and hearing actors. No interpreters, but captions instead. What a joy. Legitimately impressed! toneelhuis.be/en/program/m...
