hey yall! i (predictably) am here from the bad place (formerly blkgrlbrilliant). previous mutuals, i'm trying to find you! and new followers, i look forward to future jokey jokes and conversations about tv, teaching, soccer, the mundane, the state of the world, and so on and so forth 👋🏾

Just want to note also how deeply uncritical so many physicians were on Twitter about ‘AI’. I saw a resident happily saying he plans on using ‘AI to read and write journal articles to free up time for him.’
Others saw no privacy issues.
Just…a mess.
a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

lolsob i only got through 3 movies and now that i'm prepared to continue they apparently have been removed from paramount plus with no notice. if they had a clearly stated expiration date i wouldve planned ahead but alas.
ok, i decided i'm gonna stick with the classics and have a friday the 13th marathon over the next few days, and perhaps progress to nightmare on elm street afterwards. i don't actually think i've seen any of the jasons and only the first freddy
any suggestions for horror movies that are in english and readily available on major streaming services? (preferably something supernatural but slashers are acceptable and im very much NOT looking for psychological thrillers. i hate when you think you're watching a horror and they trick you)

I see in the forecast that it's supposed to rain on both of my teaching days this week and I'm recalling how my mom asked what I wanted for my birthday, I told her shoes I can wear to work in the rain, sent her a link to loafers, and she ordered the suede version instead of the leather or textile 😂

baby #1 continues to maintain his top ranking. he just told my cousin he wants to watch a documentary about halloween. and yes, that is exactly what he meant. not hocus pocus, not halloweentown, a documentary about halloween
update: one of the babies tied for 3rd (the one who always looks grumpy) has suddenly jumped into 1st place
