New celebrity confusions thread: TIL Jon Batiste ≠ Dave Bautista
LRS I've already started checking dates on things as part of my decision-making process about how much I trust a source... 😬

Also every piece of human knowledge created between 2022 and the proper regulation of the bullshit machines is going to have to be quarantined with extreme prejudice, to stop this stuff cascading down to information stream forever. Like if everything asbestos touches also became asbestos.
I agree that we're likely setting ourselves up for a very long process of asbestos-like remediation efforts around "incredibly stupidly and carelessly implemented LLM tools that were rolled out after 2022"
I've noticed that people who use the inevitability argument always make comparisons to email and social media, never to NFTs or DDT.
I think the so-called "AI" stuff is going to be the tech version of asbestos: shoved in everywhere, expensive and time-consuming to remove.

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Food waste is bad, I agree. But last week we were told that shelf-stable processed food is also bad. And giving workers free time to shop for and prepare fresh foods is bad because productivity. It’s a real (processed) pickle!
Even amid rising grocery prices and increased sensitivity to environmental issues, Americans still trash once-edible food at alarming rates.
The U.S. produces a lot of food waste. This place wants to address it

AFAIK I do not have dementia but I do have a large Tony's Chocolonely bar that I stashed in the home office and have been eating one chunk at a time all day.
my father has dementia and sometimes his actions can be alarming so when he kept going out to the garage i finally followed him only to discover he’d hidden the last of the banana cream pie in the spare fridge and keeps going for back for more bites

If not for the numbers I definitely could've gotten a few more years out of this, but two decades really isn't bad.

the funniest part of this is that no one was even saying Heinz is a good company that should be supported.
just that restaurant ketchup is a mess. lol
like I don't care how much bad accounting Heinz did it doesn't change the facts on the ground about ketchup????? THAT'S A DIFFERENT CONVO

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

The lingering mental impact of moving repeatedly: moments of panic when I hit "place order" before triple-checking that it's got the correct shipping address. Whew.
Sometimes the sites want to default back to prior locations (despite my best attempts!!) and it's made me paranoid.

I wonder about the impact of readers like me leaving Goodreads to switch to @thestorygraph.com
My account still exists there but I stopped updating it, and for me the transition was a fits-and-starts process rather than a clean break with a date I can pinpoint.

Since the Goodreads Choice Awards were posted last night, here's a reminder of how white these awards are (& why): bookriot.com/the-unbearab...
The Unbearable Whiteness of the Goodreads Choice Awards
There's one place online you can go to ensure a very white "best of" book list: The Goodreads Choice Awards.

LRS was especially timely because the huge moon this week reminded me of the song and An American Tail for the who-knows-how-many-th time in my life. That movie really lodged in my psyche!

To this day, as a 41 year old woman, "Somewhere Out There" will reduce me to tears. He's just a little kid alone in the world and desperate to find his family and they miss him!
It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

There are definitely problems with sending folders of dead-tree papers home but I'm thisclose to thinking we should go back to that. We may have reached the point where digital is not even eco-friendlier (I say, digitally...)
Have you seen the school message? It's on Weduc. Did you reply about the homework? Dude it's on Arbor. What about the sports trip? It's literally on ParentPay. We need to pay for PE kit? It's probably on SquidCard. Pay for the breakfast club on EduLink. Attendance? ReachMoreParents has that for you.
