Rant: if you ask something of me, and I ask you when you need it by, and you don’t tell me, and then you tell me one day later that you need it the NEXT day, you are dead to me.

If I see another “hey, I’ve been afforded a level of power and influence due to something that was probably outside of my actual control so I’m going to tell you how to be JUST LIKE ME even though there is no reason to believe you or your life is anything like mine” book, I will vomit.

Moreover, it is policy that serves to enable the suffering of millions of people with ADHD through perpetuating stimulant med shortages, gatekeeping diagnosis through public and provider opinion, and generally making our lives much harder than they need to be.
So fuck Boomberg for this.

So, I was going to make a joke about a cartoon where ChatGPT is just hooked up to a bunch of monkeys typing. And then I remembered that it was trained on the Internet. Which was made … by a bunch of monkeys typing.

But anyway back to the point: US media tends to heavily insulate Americans from the direct human cost of their own policy decisions. They don't show us footage of children w their limbs blown off. Other media outlets have no such qualms. This is why the rest of the world is so much angrier right now
